Aviator glasses are an iconic style of glasses characterized by large, teardrop-shaped lenses that droop down toward the cheekbones, typically supported by a thin metal wire frame and a distinct double or triple nose bridge.

Aviators look exceptional on oval, square, and heart-shaped faces. The downward sloping lines help elongate oval faces and soften the sharp jawlines of square facial structures.

Because aviator lenses have a large surface area, they catch a substantial amount of ambient light. Polarized lenses eliminate blinding glare reflected off horizontal surfaces like asphalt, car hoods, and water, drastically reducing eye strain and improving contrast and safety while driving.
