■COMMENT
#Made by Bausch & Lomb, USA.
#In Japan, a musician & movie actor Mr. Akira Terao wore this model when he sang in 1981. He started in a few Akira Kurosawa movies.
#Only in Japan, this model was named WINNER; while in other countries, AVALAR.
#Similar shape to EXPLORER and CARAVAN. But AVALAR has droopy eyes.
#This DGM (Double Gradient Mirror) lenses have the coating applied to the top and bottom areas of the lenses to protect against overhead reflected glare. The coatings are graduated in density, becoming gradually heavier from the center toward the top or bottom of the lenses. So DGM is recommended for snow or water sports.
#B&L Ray-Ban Mirror lenses are available in 3 forms: Full Mirror, Double Gradient Mirror and Top Gradient Mirror.
