other info

• This Polaroid pair first appeared in 1971 and with it,
  
  Polaroid launched this new paler lens, which they
  
  marketed as, "see-through". They said at the time,
  
  "These afford the wearer cosmetic appeal with no
  
  loss of polarising efficiency or UV absorption, and
  
  are complemented perfectly by the latest metal
  
  frames." This model, called "The Square Eye" was
  
  part of their Maxi-range of oversized frames for
  
  women in 1971. And they weren't just for women,
  
  as ELO's Jeff Lynne proved in 1975, performing, "Evil
  
  Woman". The original lenses were a tad worn, so
  
  we had them replaced with original Polaroid lenses
  
  in the same see-through shade.
