Thread: American Optical sunglasses

I have always liked Ray Ban Aviator sunglasses ever since I bought a pair in Rosie Roads PR in the early 1970s. Unfortunately being young and foolish I managed to loose them in short order. Fast forward 45 years and I am thinking I might be able to hang on to a pair of good sunglasses especially as the boss said she would nail them to my head if I bought a pair of good ones. It did not take long to find out I really did not want to pay what they are currently asking for Ray Ban Aviators up here. So it was research time.

I finally settled on a pair of American Optical Original Pilots sunglasses with their Grey glass True Colour lenses. I got them in today and am very happy with the quality of the frames and optical glass lenses. The glass grey TC lenses are easy on the eyes and remove glare as well as not changing the colour balance of what I am looking at.

The AO glasses are available in different frame sizes which is great if you have a fat head like mine, you can find a large enough frame. There is a wide choice of lens colours, frame styles and temples also.

Anyone looking at getting a good pair of sunglasses should at least check out the AO ones. Although I got mine off the net, here is a link to AO's site to give you an idea of what can be had.
