Did you know that sunglasses weren’t always used to protect our eyes from the sun. The history of sunglasses dates back to ancient China and Rome as early as the 12th century. Sunglasses did not undergo many changes until about the eighteenth century because of the work of James Ayscough. He experimented with tinted lenses in spectacles. Then, in 1936, sunglasses became polarized when Edwin H. Land began using his patented Polaroid filter when making sunglasses. For more on the history of sunglasses, click here.

A pair of sunglasses can come in very handy. There is the traditional and the most important purpose, to protect your eyes from the sun. Then there are other uses. Do you want to avoid your ex? Sunglasses can double as a shield. Did you have a rough night of partying? Your shades will hide the telltale red eyes. Have you been crying because the stock markets have destroyed your wealth? Or maybe it was just perceived wealth. Your shades will conceal those puffy eyes. What about being over-botoxed? Wear your shades until you get your facial expressions back. Oh, how useful sunglasses can be.

The Thanko All In One Sunglasses out of Japan are the latest sunglasses craze. They look more 3D clunky than Prada sleek. However, what else would you expect from a pair of shades that incorporate a media player?

The glasses are capable of reading MP3 and WMA audio formats, as well as playing video formats MP4, MPG, AVI, and ASF. That means you can listen to music or watch movies (at a squinty 432×240 resolution) on the specs themselves. This is no Cinemax, to be sure, but the glasses could be a fun diversion on a train or park bench if you don’t mind the bulk. Note to would be wearers: please lay off the films while crossing the street.

Audio files, videos, and photos are stored in a miniSD card loaded on the flank of the glasses, which come with a remote control, AC adapter, earphones, USB cable for charging the device and transferring files, and carrying case. They also come with four equalizer presets and a lithium ion battery. Oh, and they go for, get this, $364. I know, for that amount you could get an iPhone.

Los Angeles, CA (BANG) - Kanye West reportedly spent $15,000 getting 50 pairs of his favorite sunglasses shipped to America. The “Stronger” singer - who is a huge fan of Italian shades company Carrera - was so desperate to get his hands on the exclusive eyewear that he paid the staggering amount to ensure delivery before the new range was released in the U.S. A source said: “Kanye loves Carrera sunglasses. He thinks they are trendy and make him look really suave. He was so determined to secure the delivery that he paid the $15,000 bill without even asking for a discount.”

Kanye - who shot to fame as a style icon when he wore a series of horizontal-slatted color aviator sunglasses - recently announced his fashion company Pastelle is set to team up with Australian label Ksubi to release a new range of sunglasses. He said: “I love the sunnies Ksubi has produced over the years, and it’s an honor to collaborate with them on this first installment of Pastelle frames.” The line, which will feature limited edition gold frames, will launch worldwide in October.

Long ago, early sunglasses served a unique purpose. No it was not to block the sun’s rays. To understand, let’s go back to China in the 15th century. Smoke tinting was the first way of darkening eyeglasses, developed in China prior to 1430. The darkened lenses were not vision-corrected. They initially intended to reduce solar glare. For centuries, Chinese judges had routinely worn smoke-colored quartz lenses to conceal their eye expressions in court. A judge’s evaluation of evidence as credible or mendacious was to remain secret until the trial ended. Then as time passed, smoke-tinted lenses came to serve also as sunglasses. However that was never their primary function. Then around 1430, when vision-correcting eyeglasses were introduced into the country of China from Italy, they, too, were darkened. Again, it was mainly for judicial use. Later on, James Ayscough began experimenting with tinted lenses in spectacles in the18th century. These were not “sunglasses” as such; Ayscough believed blue- or green-tinted glass could correct specific vision impairments. Protection from the sun’s rays was not a concern of his at that point. The popularity of sunglasses really became a twentieth-century phenomenon. The American military, which played a role in the development of sunscreens, also was at the forefront of sunglass technology.
