Why are they called Ray-Bans?
1 Answer
Why they're called Ray-Bans relates to the function of the sunglasses produced by the brand. Initially, Ray-Ban specialized in producing eyewear for pilots who were concerned about being blinded by sunlight during flights. The makers of Ray-Ban sunglasses, Bausch & Lomb, chose the name Ray-Ban to convey the fact that the lenses banned rays of light from the pilots' vision.
