Humble Beginnings
\n<\/strong>It all began on a foggy morning in 1920, when Shorty Schroeder decided to set new records by flying his biplane to new heights. When Schroeder touched 33000 feet, his vision impaired and eye lids got stiffened. He was wearing goggles, which got \u00a0fogged and directly impaired his vision. Schroeder landed safely and was pulled out of cockpit by his friend John Macready.<\/p>\n

John Macready decided to fulfill Schroeder\u2019s dream, but he also met the same fate as the former.\u00a0 Macready approached Bausch & Lomb and started working with them to develop eye lens, which protected eyes from harsh sunlight and saved pilots who flew high.<\/p>\n

In 1930\u2019sBausch & Lomb launched its premium scientific eyewear brand called \u201creal scientific glare protection\u201d and it was offered as sporting equipment to golfers. This eyewear encapsulated features of typical navigator goggles with delicate frames and teardrop shape. As, the years advanced, it became a very powerful military gear and was extensively used during WWII.<\/p>\n
