A brief history of sunglasses, from Ancient Rome to Hollywood

Sunglasses, or dark glasses, have always guarded against strong sunlight, but is there more to “shades” than we think?
The pupils of our eyes are delicate and react immediately to strong lights. Protecting them against light — even the brilliance reflected off snow — is important for everyone. Himalayan mountaineers wear goggles for this exact purpose.
Protection is partly the function of sunglasses. But dark or colored lens glasses have become fashion accessories and personal signature items. Think of the vast and famous collector of sunglasses Elton John, with his pink lensed heart-shaped extravaganzas and many others.
When did this interest in protecting the eyes begin, and at what point did dark glasses become a social statement as well as physical protection?
The Roman Emperor Nero is reported as holding polished gemstones to his eyes for sun protection as he watched fighting gladiators.
We know Canadian far north Copper Inuit and Alaskan Yupik wore snow goggles of many kinds made of antlers or whalebone and with tiny horizontal slits. Wearers looked through these and they were protected against the snow’s brilliant light when hunting. At the same time the very narrow eye holes helped them to focus on their prey.
In 12th-century China, judges wore sunglasses with smoked quartz lenses to hide their facial expressions — perhaps to retain their dignity or not convey emotions.
From fiery festivals to nature’s most dazzling “sky-dance”, interest in the night skies is booming, with “noctourism” poised to be a major travel trend in 2025.

Interest in the night skies is booming. Booking.com recently named “noctourism” as a top travel trend for 2025, with their survey of more than 27,000 travellers finding that around two-thirds have considered going to “darker sky destinations” to experience things like starbathing (lying down and looking at the night skies) and witnessing once-in-a-lifetime cosmic events.

“The cool thing about night adventures is you see so many different sides to a destination, by just staying up late or rising early,” says Stephanie Vermillon, author of the new book 100 Nights Of A Lifetime: The World’s Ultimate Adventures After Dark. “Our senses are heightened, and there are things you see at night that you don’t see any other time, so everything feels exciting and new.”

It was a 2010 trip to Morocco that sparked Vermillon’s interest in all things nocturnal. “I grew up in Dayton, Ohio, which has terrible light pollution,” she tells the BBC. “Then I went to the Sahara Desert and camped under the stars – I saw the Milky Way and two dozen shooting stars that night. I went home, took an astronomy class and later started hunting Northern Lights, which got me curious about what else happens around the world after dark.”
Vermillon believes that major events such as the April 2024 total solar eclipse or the 2024-2025 peak in aurora activity has led to a “bump” in the number of people wanting to experience dark skies. There are also now more than 200 Dark Sky Reserves across the globe. “The great thing about the night sky is the perspective it gives you – it’s humbling and grounding,” she says. “You can experience pure awe.”
Starry skies and aurora borealis might be the headline acts, but there’s plenty more to do after dark in cities or out in nature. “You see a city so differently at night,” Vermillon says. “I think of it as a city letting its hair down – it’s more relaxed. I’ve also done night safaris, where it’s more about listening than just seeing, and I’ve seen water sparkling with bioluminescence, which looks like magic. Everything at night has a little extra sparkle.”
Here are five of Vermillon’s favourite after-dark experiences, from fiery cultural festivals to nature’s greatest sky dance.
