Inuit people of prehistoric and historic times used snow goggles, which had narrow slits to reduce exposure to sunlight. Not only are sunglasses used to block sun rays, in the early 1900's it was believed that movie stars wore sunglasses to avoid recognition with their fans. Since the 1940's, sunglasses have become a fashion accessory.
