MAR (also known as anti-glare) is a lens which will only transmit around 91% of light to the eye. The rest is lost due to surface reflections on the lens.

We are extremely pleased to announce our newest brand, Oakley, to the designer collection at Spex4less.com. Delve a little deeper into the history of Oakley, the brand itself. Founded in 1975, Jim Jannard began creating; designing and producing handle grips for motocross motorbikes from the back of his car. Jannard later named them ‘The Oakley Grips’. Living life as a university student at the University of California in 1970, Jannard later dropped out and which is when he decided to begin his adventure. Jim Jannard then spent around a year becoming more and more of a motorcyclist enthusiast having travelled around as just a man and his motorcycle and eventually sold his own motorcycle to buy a small car in order to create a business out of the boot. Jannard began selling motorcycle parts to shops that serviced broken motorcycles. When he realised that business was taking off, Jannard created ‘The Oakley Grips’ which he sold alongside the motorcycle parts. Oakley found its iconic brand

We often get calls and requests for “John Lennon Style Glasses and Sunglasses”, and although everybody knows what the term means, and certainly John Lennon (and at times Yoko Ono as well) popularized the iconic image of the round style glasses early in his career with the Beatles – the glasses and sunglasses themselves have actually been around for a long time. The origin of the John Lennon style glasses can actually be traced back to the mid 1960’s when they became popular – particularly as sunglasses – in order to mask the outward symptoms of drug use and in particular marijuana consumption which often lead to bloodshot eyes or at other times when opiates were consumed the constriction of the pupil. They became known as “teashade” glasses and were usually given some sort of opaque coatings such as mirror sunglasses or very dark tinted prescription sunglasses. For this reason, it became quite common for the glasses to not actually be prescription glasses or prescription sunglasses, as

Of course, Lady Gaga is known for her musical ability as well as her somewhat individual style sense. This individualism has often been known to her preference for glasses and Lady Gaga sunglasses as well. Since her first set of videos, one of Lady Gaga’s traits has been to mask or divert her image using fashion for her body and a wide range of unique or custom glasses and sunglasses to shield her eyes. Most glasses wearers wear glasses or sunglasses to shield their eyes from harmful rays or bright light – but in another twist of the Lady Gaga lifestyle, she has proclaimed her Gaga Glasses and Sunglasses to be primarily to hide her eyes from public view so that hew fans and others can focus on her work rather than her look. Many of the glasses and sunglasses that Lady Gaga wears are vintage from some of the great fashion houses such as Versace, Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford and Dior; possibly the most well known glasses that Lady Gaga has been seen wearing in her videos comes from “Paparazzi”

Apple today is one of the strongest brands in the world, of course, built on their products such as the iPhone, iPad and of course where it all began – the MAC computer. Founded by glasses wearers Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, they have focused their lenses on consumer products rather than optical products – but it is never too late and you never know what is going to come out of the Apple Campus at “Infinite Loop” next. Perhaps some fashionable white spectacles with a brand new user interface.  The big leap forward for Apple really came in 1984 with their huge investment in the famous “1984” ad that launched the MAC computer in a breakthrough ad first shown during the Superbowl of that year. The theme of the ad was breaking the mould both in terms of product and advertising, with a story driven 1-minute film that ended with text that was displayed and spoken, “On January 24th Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh.
