Irish rocker and U2 frontman Bono is launching his own sunglasses range as part of a partnership to help provide better eye care for those who don\u2019t have access to glasses or eye tests.<\/p>\n

He is teaming up with eyewear brand Revo<\/a> and the non-profit Brien Holden Vision Institute and together they hope to raise \u00a36.25 million to provide eye tests, glasses and other eye care worldwide to those who can\u2019t afford to have any. \u00a0Revo have pledged to donate \u00a36 for every pair of shades sold.<\/p>\n

He has already been wearing sunglasses from the collection during U2\u2019s very successful North American tour and was spotted wearing them at the recent Amnesty International Tapestry in New York (below.) \u00a0But the rest of us will have to wait as\u00a0the range won\u2019t be available until autumn.<\/p>\n

Bono has recently made public the reason why he always wears coloured lenses as he rarely removes his sunglasses in public and so they’ve become\u00a0his most iconic feature. Not long ago, he revealed he suffered with glaucoma for the past two decades and has been receiving treatment for a number of years. He assured fans that he is and will be fine, thanks to the \u201cgood treatments\u201d he\u2019s been getting.<\/p>\n

The rock star called sight “a human right” and released a statement on Thursday to announce the launching of the initiative, saying:<\/p>\n

Poor eyesight may not be life-threatening, but it dramatically affects your life and your livelihood if you aren\u2019t able to fix it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bono has definitely chose wisely when collaborating with a brand like Revo; they’re not just out for the high fashion reputation, but are real pioneers when it comes to\u00a0lens technology. \u00a0Their lenses were originally developed with NASA technology<\/a>\u00a0and used on space camera\u00a0lens coatings, telescopes, satellite protection and space walks – meaning you’re getting the most superior lens technology and highest-quality material on earth.<\/p>\n

I first started wearing glasses when I was 11 years old and I couldn\u2019t agree more with Bono so, let me showcase some stunning of Revo’s frames which will make you look like a celebrity whilst also contributing to such a good cause.<\/p>\n

Revo Huddie 351000<\/h2>\n

\"Revo_Huddie_351000\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Revo Relay 351014<\/h2>\n

\"Revo<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want to look like a rock star, look no further. The Revo Relay 351014<\/strong><\/a> is your pair of shades. An awesome golden aviator style frame combined with flashy lens colours to not get confused with – of course there isn’t one purple and one green lens, but a lens that enables all colour to pop and radiate whilst protecting you from harmful rays. \u00a0Onlookers will be left wondering whether a celebrity has just moved into the neighbourhood!<\/p>\n

Revo Baseliner 351006<\/h2>\n
