John Lennon was an English musician who was most famously known as a member of the 60s rock group, The Beatles. Some of his greatest songs that he wrote while a member of the Beatles include, Help, In My Life, Strawberry Fields Forever, and Come Together. Lennon also had a successful solo career, and his most notable songs include, Imagine, Mother, and Give Peace a Chance.

Besides being a successful musician, Lennon was also a political activist who spoke out against the Vietnam War and, with his wife Yoko Ono, held their famous weeklong Bed-In For Peace at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal. It was during this Bed-In that Give Peace a Chance was recorded.

Lennon was also known for sporting his trademark teashade glasses and sunglasses. Being huge Lennon fans ourselves, Wholesale Discount Sunglasses now carries a line of John Lennon Sunglasses in honour of this revolutionary cultural icon.

We'll leave you with this video tribute to John Lennon:

If you do a little reminiscing, you’ll be surprised about the sunglasses’ humble beginnings. Even in pre-historic times, our ancestors knew about the harm the sun’s rays can bring – this is why they made the first pair of specs using ivory. Other materials were also used including emeralds and smoky quartz which had no protective powers but could reduce glare. Tinted lenses for sunglasses first appeared in the 1800’s, and by the time the 1900’s came, sunglasses became so widespread especially among movie stars. From then on, more and more styles have been created to cater to the fashion trends and needs of the customers.

As mentioned, vintage sunglasses are also a popular hit among the celebrities. Currently, we see a rise of old fashion trends once again being restored to their former glory. The same is true for vintage sunglasses – once famous in the 70’s and 80’s, they’re being brought back to the fashion scene by celebrities and fans alike. Vintage sunglasses are usually combined with more modern technologies to make them look sophisticated – their frames can come in either plastic or metal. Of course one kind of vintage sunglasses that never went out of style are the wayfarers – although they lost their charm in the 80’s, they once again hit the stores thanks to celebrities that popularized these vintage sunglasses.

Sunglasses come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. New styles are being invented every now and then. To make things more interesting, people are wearing specialist sunglasses like aviators and camouflage sunglasses every day. Why? Their fashion quotient, of course. One example of this trend is staring us on the face – oversized sunglasses. Every celebrity worth his or her name is sporting one!

In spite of all the fashion coming and going, there is one style that has been with us for ages – Metal frame sunglasses. Right from the time Ray-Bans were worn by cowboys in the movies of the Wild West, men have been captivated by the rough and tough look of metal frame sunglasses. The best thing about metal frames is that they can be worn to any place, any time, regardless of the occasion and company. They can be used as formal wear or informal wear. You can wear them with a tux and look cool or push them on when you are in a pair of jeans and look hot. So, if you’re ever in doubt about frames, go for metal.

Typically, metal frame sunglasses are made from wires that are either flattened or rounded. From low-end combinations like nickel, copper and such alloys to high-end materials like stainless steel and titanium, metal frames come in all kinds of variety. Titanium is by far the strongest material. In fact, it is about as strong as steel but is much lighter and easier to use. Titanium also has the advantage of being corrosion-proof. Colors are applied to the Titanium frame, so silver and gold frames are quite common. You can even get glossy or matte finish in whichever color you select.

Another reason why metal frame sunglasses are so popular is that they are available in all sorts of shapes. So, it is easier for the customer to select something that suits them. Whether you want small frames, big frames, round, square or rectangle, they are all available in metal frames. Metal framed sunglasses may be full-framed or half-framed. So, whichever style you want, you can easily find it in metal frame sunglasses. Full frames were more popular in the 70s. Over time, half frames glasses have become very popular. Frameless glasses too have made their mark in the market, but these are a passing phase.

Metal frames are a style statement whether you wear them with formal or informal wear. They are also quite easy to handle and maintain, since you do not have to worry about their flexibility and durability. No wonder men love ‘em!

For a sportsperson, vision is the most important consideration, followed by comfort. Any eyewear they use should work to optimize their sports performance. Good vision and quick responses are the key to a winning performance.

Vision, as you know, is all about processing light to clarify the images we see. The white light that you see is made of a number of different colors, each having a different wavelength. When you use sunglasses, you are effectively reducing certain wavelengths of light. High performance tinted sports sunglasses can thus reduce glare and increase contrast. This in turn increases your ability to see with greater clarity and comfort.

Sportsmen who use good quality sports sunglasses confirm that sunglasses, when chosen properly, can greatly enhance their performance. For instance, golfers who wear good sunglasses are able to perceive deeper contrasts in the dark and light patterns in grass. This enables them to decipher their greens better for more precise putting. Suppose you like to play tennis or baseball, sports sunglasses can help you see the turn of the ball more clearly, thus enabling you to make more precise contact with the ball. Bikers wearing appropriate lenses can see the trail properly and this makes for a safer and quicker ride.

So, while purchasing sports sunglasses, it is important to look for certain key features:

Tint: These days, you get all sorts of tinted glasses. The number of shades available is quite amazing and many sunglasses look dramatic too. However, if performance is your aim, then it is better to stick with a neutral grey tint. This tint offers absolute color perfection. On the other hand, if you are involved in a sport that requires greater contrast sensitivity, copper and brown tints are helpful. These are particularly useful on ski slopes or for viewing a ball against the glare of the sun. Contrast enhancement depends a lot on the prevailing light conditions, but colors such as yellow, orange, amber and red also help to deepen contrasts.

Protection: Sports sunglasses have to offer 100% UV protection. This is because sportsmen are almost always under the direct glare of the sun. Overexposure to the harmful UV rays of the sun can cause a lot of damage to your eyes. Make sure that your sports sunglasses have the necessary protective coating and additives to give you 100% protection. Sports persons often prefer to enhance the protection offered by their sunglasses by going for mirror coatings and anti-reflective coatings. Polarized sunglasses too have a special filter to block glare reflecting from surfaces like snow and water.

Comfort: Weight and comfort are important qualities to consider while buying sports sunglasses. Lightweight, shatter-resistant material is easy to wear. Besides, many of these materials block the sun’s harmful rays even though there are no additives or coatings on them.
