Founded in the United States in 1930, it is the world's leading sunglasses brand, synonymous with sunglasses that block strong light, and enjoys the reputation of "a symbol of American culture".
Ray-Ban is called Ray-Ban in English, Ray is glare, Ban is blocking, blocking dazzling light is the essence of sunglasses. Ray-Ban produced sunglasses with a tilted reflective surface for the U.S. Air Force, providing users with greater vision protection. In fact, Ray-Ban has long been synonymous with sunglasses that block out bright light. Ray-Ban sunglasses were born out of the distress of a U.S. Air Force lieutenant. In 1923, when the lieutenant flew a small plane across the Atlantic, he was deeply troubled by the intense sunlight, and when he returned to the base, he even suffered from nausea, headaches, and dizziness. Based on this, in 1930, Bausch & Lomb developed Ray-Ban sunglasses that absorbed the most sunlight, emitted the least amount of heat, and maintained good clear vision. In addition to the good protective function of Ray-Ban sunglasses, the designer designed its shape and style to highlight the rugged and heroic military temperament.
As early as 1835, Dr. John of German-American began to engage in the business of importing optical products from Europe in New York, but not long after the operation, Dr. John fell into the tragic situation of almost bankruptcy. Thanks to the help of his good friend Henry Lun, who funded the company with his last sixty dollars, the company survived. The company was officially named Bausch & Lomb after the surnames of Dr. John and Henry Ren. Since then, Bausch & Lomb has flourished until it has grown to become a household name in the United States today.
