CLAYTONS

The large black sunglasses that are worn over eyeglasses, mainly by senior citizens (also called cataract sunglasses). The name derives from the large shades that Clayton Moore had to wear when he was told he could not continue wearing a Lone Ranger mask in public appearances because the rights to the character and representations of the character were owned by someone else. Example: Two women were waiting for the bus, both wearing large black Claytons that covered most of their upper faces.
