Ray-Ban CATS 5000 Black Aviator RB-50 Sunglasses
1 Vintage Ray-Ban CATS 5000 sunglasses are a rare, low production style that features a durable matte black composite aviator frame that holds very hard to find Bausch & Lomb RB-50 mirrored lenses. B&L Ray-Ban RB-50 lenses were always state of the art at Bausch & Lomb, a general purpose specialty lens for moderate to extreme glare conditions. The light absorption ranges from 80% to 90% and can extend to 95% under cold, bright conditions to make it excellent for skiing and other high glare snow sports. They provide 100% ultraviolet protection and filter out scattered blue light to enhance contrast and sharpen details with true color recognition. The rear of the lens has an exclusive, anti-reflective coating that reduces back glare and sunburn problems associated with some mirrored lenses. The unisex Ray-Ban CATS 5000 frame measures approximately 5.675" temple to temple, and the lenses measure approximately 2.25" x 1.875" at the widest points with right lens laser etched Ray-Ban 50 and both lenses laser etched BL near the hinges. The inside of one stem is marked Bausch & Lomb Frame France while the inside of the other stem is impressed France along with the French crown trademark. Rare.
