Most of us believe that aviator sunglasses are simply a fashion statement, but the truth is they are much more important than that. Take pilots, for example.
Pilots operate aircraft most of the time in bright sunlight because, even on cloudy days, they climb their aircraft through the clouds and out into the bright sunlight. No doubt, as a passenger, you have observed that you are normally well above the clouds and in the clear blue sky.
Because of this pilots are higher up in the atmosphere were the air is thinner and the ultralight radiation much stronger. The FAA has published an article called “Sunglasses for Pilots: Beyond The Image”.
The reason is that the FAA considers a pilot’s eyes one of their most important sensory assets, and wants to make pilots aware of the problems associated with excessive exposure to ultraviolet light radiation.
The FAA goes on to recommend non-polarized sunglasses which can fit easily on the pilots head under headsets, which provide protection for the entire eye socket and are tinted dark enough to reduce or eliminate eye strain.
For many years military establishments around the world have recommended Randolph Engineering Aviator Sunglasses for its pilots and soldiers in the field.
