Ray-Ban started out making sunglasses for [[pilot]]s in the [[United States Military]], but soon after rolled into the [[civilian]] market. Nowadays, Ray-Ban is owned by the Italian [[conglomerate]] [[Luxottica]]. == Origin == In 1929, [[US Army Air Corps]] Colonel [[John A. Macready]] worked with [[Bausch & Lomb]], a [[Rochester, New York]]–based medical equipment creator, to create aviation sunglasses that would reduce the distraction for pilots caused by the intense blue and white colors of the sky.
