A stylish, practical AND necessary accessory in EVERY season is sunglasses, but especially during the seasons we enjoy being outdoors the most! We have a large selection, come try them on!

The popularity of sunglasses is a 20th century phenomenon. In the 1930s, the Army Air Corps commissioned the optical firm Bausch & Lomb to produce a highly effective spectacle that would protect pilots from the dangers of glare when flying above clouds. The company opticians perfected a special dark-green tint that absorbed light in the spectrum’s yellow band.

They also designed a frame size to maximize the shielding of an aviator’s eyes. Fliers were issued the “raybanning” glasses at no charge, but soon the public was able to purchase the “Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses.” A chic and clever 1960s advertising campaign by Foster Grant made sunglasses a must have. Light permits us to see. But too much light can be hard on the eyes. David writes, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1). With God as his light and salvation, David had nothing to fear. Even when his enemies attacked him, “They stumbled and fell” (v. 2).

Light can help you to see, but some light can blind you. Certain ultraviolet rays are harmful to vision. This spectrum is actually invisible to the naked eye. That is why pilots need to wear sunglasses in the brilliant light of the sun. David found God’s light to bring him salvation. But his enemies stumbled. The light had not changed. The difference is found in the person viewing the light. David trusted in the Lord for strength. His eyes looked to the light for hope.

Much like the pilots who wear sunglasses in the brilliant sunshine when flying high, we too can enjoy the light of God’s salvation when our eyes have been shielded from harmful rays. Such protection comes from Jesus Christ, who filters out sin so we can behold more clearly the heavenly Father.
