Born and based in Florida, Ocean Waves Sunglasses has a series of sunglass collections which feature hand-ground and polished glass lenses with full polarization and 100 percent UV protection. Kevin Carlson, chief designer of Ocean Waves Sunglasses was a devoted fisherman who simply could not find a pair of sunglasses to meet his needs. After searching endlessly with no signs of success, Carlson decided to design the perfect pair himself. He created prototypes and sent them off to a factory in Japan which was capable of producing lenses to Kevin's specifications the rest is history.
Currently, the Ocean Waves product line consists of premium eyewear for all types of sports enthusiasts. Each line of Ocean Waves Sunglasses is designed to respond to light and brightness reduction for all types of outdoor activities. Their sunglass designs have become increasingly popular over the past few years and are in high demand across the United States and the entire global market.
Ocean Waves' latest sunglass line features unique, bold designs, exclusive to the Ocean Waves label and unlike most designs on today's market. All Ocean Waves sunglasses feature optically correct lenses with perfectly balanced, durable frames. Most of the shapes used in their latest designs are a combination of oval shapes and cat-eye designs. Comfortable, lightweight and flexible, Ocean Waves sunglass styles are developed for ultimate protection for prolonged outdoor exposure. Some must-have models from their collection include the Ocean Waves Belize and the Ocean Waves Nassau.
The least expensive model of Ocean Wave sunglasses is about $100. Prices can be as high as over $200; however most models fall in the $140 to $160 price range.
Ocean Wave Sunglasses never really hit big in Hollywood, possibly because most Hollywood superstars have little to no time for sports or other outdoor activities. Some famous faces that have been seen sporting Ocean Wave sunglasses include Adam Sandler and Sharon Stone. For the most part, Ocean Wave Sunglasses are for casual individuals who enjoy spending their time on the beach or in the mountains as opposed to the crowded streets of Hollywood.
