Sunglasses, more stylish than aviators, are hard to come by. People have had an obsession with aviators ever since they were originally worn by military pilots in the 1930s. The green lenses are the only part of the look that hasn’t changed much since it was first popularized among civilians during World War II.

Because dark green lenses were originally designed to protect pilots’ eyes, aviators use them. The blue light was eliminated by the green tint. If not, pilots flying at high altitudes would have severe visual issues due to blue light. A military pilot unquestionably needs contrast and sharpness, which green glasses enhance while reducing glare.
