Description

The Bausch & Lomb DES 278 794 sunglasses, with its black frame and iconic aviator silhouette, is a rare vintage sunglasses find for collectors.

Bausch & Lomb helped shape the entire sunglasses industry, and their vintage frames still lead the pack. From the mirrored lenses used by NASA pilots to the polarized lenses made for fishermen and athletes, B&L brought serious science to style. These sunglasses weren’t designed to match your outfit—they were designed to perform under pressure. Yet somehow, they still manage to look effortlessly cool. For true function-meets-fashion heritage, look no further than the Bausch & Lomb vault at Vintage Frames Company.
