The Bausch and Lomb black
"Wayfarer" sunglasses date from
the early 1950's but they came
back into style about two years
ago and now top the eyewear
charts, said Andy Peterson, opti
cian at The Optical Shop. He said
the lenses are solid glass and
have a uniform tint.
"The wayfarer is a very inex
pensive, high-quality sunglass,"
Peterson said. Wayfarer lenses
are optically ground and will not
irritate the eyes like some cheaper
lenses do. Bausch and Lomb Ray
Ban Wayfarer's sell for about $40.
Roger Delabarre, of Modern Eye
Wear, said no permanent eye
damage will result from wearing
sunglasses that aren't optically
correct, but said the eye may
become irritated. Lenses that
aren't optically correct don't give
a true image, he said.
Other popular styles include
glacier glasses that have leather
blinders on the sides to reduce
glare while skiing.
Jon Ferguson, store manager
at the Lawlor's downtown, said
glacier glasses help keep eyes from
watering and prevent eye corners
from being sunburned. He warned
that it is dangerous to drive with
them because they reduce peri
pheral vision. Ferguson said other
popular glasses are the French
Bolle and Vuarnet (pronounced
varnay) frames. Bolle lenses are
plastic, and the glasses sell for
about $16. Vuarnet lenses are
glass and sell for about $70. He
said one advantage of glass lense3
is that they dont scratch as easily
as plastic. The most popular glass
es at Lawlor's are "cat eye" frames.
"People actually came into the
store and asked for 'Risky Busi
ness' glasses," said Bob Robinson,
a rocord buyer for Dirt Cheap.
Actor Tom Cruise wore Wayfarer
glasses in the 1983 hit movie.
Ferguson said the glasses increas
ed in popularity aftr the movie.
People look on the more expen
sive glasses as a status symbol, he
said.
"Sunglasses are more accessi
ble than a BMW" Robinson said.
Ferguson said glacier glasses are
popular partly because David Lee
Roth of Van IMen wears them.
"I have different colors of glass
es to match different outfits,"
said Susan Steinmetz, a freshman
business major. She said she wears
glasses about half the time for
fashion's sake, and the rest of the
time to protect her eyes. Brent
Furse, a junior advertising major,
said people tell him he looks like
Huey Lewis when he wears his
shades.
Randy Mack said he bought his
Bausch and Lomb Wayfarer sun
glasses because they were in style
at the time. He said he thinks of
them as more of a fashion acces
sory than a practical item.
