They begin to enter the ophthalmic world following the trail of Oliver Goldsmith, Persol or Ray Ban, the three big companies as far as prestige is concerned, who had been at the foot of the cannon since the late thirties and early forties. The designs and colors begin to become true works of art. Sunglasses started to become just another fashion accessory, with unique designs destined for the catwalk.

You will also find vintage glasses frames for sale online of those celebrities and many others popularized between the late sixties and early seventies the use of both sunglasses and prescription glasses, and already in the seventies most of the great designers like Dior, Gianni Versace, Ray Ban, and others ... Frames were oversized to unthinkable levels, retro-futurism and Pop Art spread to the eyewear world and lines such as Silhouette Futura and Christian Dior were created, which are still impressing in 2022 thanks to the archaeological work of celebrities like Lady Gaga.

We enter the eighties, where it is worth mentioning the birth of great brands who in their own way knew how to reinvent and give a twist to a style reigning in the previous decade. Among these vintage eye glass frames brands, we can highlight in this same period Carrera, Playboy, Ferrari, Cebe... brands that each in their own style contributed their grain of sand to the tremendous diversity reigning.

Already in the nineties and even in spite of the prevailing depressive trend due to the rise of grunge, the return to a slightly more classic style stands out, we could say that trends in sunglasses, like all, are also cyclical and every two decades usually return to the starting point. Brands like Ray Ban, which regained a fame and splendor that had plummeted in the last decade, thanks to the countless film references characterized with some of the glasses of Bausch & Lomb, from the Blues Brothers, through the Tom Hanks of Risky Business, the Stallone of Cobra, Ferris Bueller, Kevin Ciostner of J.F.K. and especially Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. But we could go on almost ad infinitum.

Among the variety of vintage frames eyewear, we will give you a review of the most used ones:

For example, the Aviator is one of the most classic styles that came out of the legendary movie Top-Gum and have returned, it seems that to stay, and have been marketed for several years, in this second stage of boom and in recent years we have seen the new design of Ray-Ban with a touch of acetate covering the frame that gives a touch that distinction....

You will also find the unisex style of large sunglasses (graduated or not and without color as the graduated ones usually are, this style reminds of those worn in the "Mad-Men" series.

The square ones that we can't forget either, the glasses with straight lines that were so much talked about in Men in Black.

Remember, not all styles are suitable for everyone, nor can all prescriptions fit all vintage eye frames.  For example, almost all sunglasses can be neutral or prescription, but prescription lenses for glasses that are too large are higher priced and also sometimes your peripheral vision is not comfortable.
