Spotlight on Ray Ban Sunglasses
Posted by Eyeglasses Guy on June 11, 2007 · 215 Comments
There’s only one word that means sunglasses in every corner of the world: Ray Ban. A name that doesn’t need explanation, that has been on the market for seventy years and that continues to have countless admirers all over the world.
It must be the class, unchanged since 1937. Or the famous drop-shaped model, the most imitated in the world. Or perhaps the originality, the attention and the care for each detail linked to the brand’s technical connotations. The reasons that made Ray Ban the leading brand in the sunglasses category, are varied, like the people that choose it. Movie stars, particularly keen on their image, famous personalities, but also ordinary people wanting to liberally express their individuality. Ray Ban is the style preferred by those who just want to be themselves and don’t need to show off to be noticed.
It’s the pair of sunglasses that’s always glamor, sporting and suitable for every situation. Its styles present models that renew themselves, changing their design, while leaving their style and performance intact.
This is why the new Ray Ban sunglasses collection presents a cutting edge design, with styles and colors capable of satisfying the different kinds of targets.
The peak models belong to the legendary Predator family, always in the top of sales ranking, capable of satisfying tastes and trends of an ever more demanding and attentive public. Ray Ban has enriched these families with new models that inherit the brand’s values and dress them with originality.
It has combined the lightness of metal and the versatility of plastic with different types of lenses according to the demands. Mirrored, shaded, anti-reflection, photochromatic, polarized, all available in a vast scale of colors: gray, green, brown, pink, blue and orange.
It has designed a scale of models capable of exalting any face, introducing colors, materials and shapes that emphasize the elegance, the sportsmanship and the determination of who’s wearing them.
The Predator models were thought for dynamic youngsters who love sports and life outdoors, men and women who don’t want to give up style, even in their spare time and who ask for design, but also functionality aside from high performance. These models represent maximal comfort, from temples to bridge. The wrapping shape that characterizes them, ensures total protection from air and light, an essential condition for complete freedom of movement.
With the injected Grilamid frames for the Ray Ban RB 4026 Shot Square Sunglasses or the more aggressive looking metal, like the Ray Ban RB 3175 Flight Square Sunglasses and the Ray Ban RB 3176 Flight Pande Sunglasses, the Predator styling has enriched itself with original new proposals of guaranteed success.
All models mount glass lenses available in different shades bearing the Ray Ban brand as a guarantee of technological quality.
Spotlight: Ray Ban RB4026 – Predator Shot Square
An aerodynamic design for this unisex model, thought for active and determined men and women. The new nylon temple insert into the frontal piece by means of a special spring hinge. The wrapping fit, the resolute design and the square glass 9-base lens increase its comfort and performance, making the model particularly suitable for outdoor life lovers who don’t want to give up their personal style.
The attention for details that has made the Ray Ban brand famous all over the world, is also visible in the class with which it signs its glasses: a precious representation of the logo by means of an elegant metal plaque inserted on the temple. A particularity that conveys all the values of the brand to each single piece, and that is highlighted in this model.
The Sidestreet styling instead is directed toward those who want glasses capable of combining fashion, style and trendy colors at a competitive price. Fashion forward models, of an exclusive design and rich in personality, but never too garish, never excessive.
Spotlight: Ray Ban RB3179 – Top Bar Oval
A single metal bar that becomes temple and wraps the face characterizes this model, capable of creating an essential and clean design thanks to the continuity ad the simplicity of it’s styling. The aerodynamic monel temple hide the flex mechanisms that favor the fit, making the model adaptable to any type of face. The hytrel temple tips match the oval 8-base APX or polycarbonate lenses that ensure excellent performance and maximal protection from UV-rays.
But the novelties of the Ray Ban sunglasses collection don’t end here. New proposals in the Aviator, Highstreet, Undercurrent and Outsiders families complete the range and enrich the Ray Ban universe.
A two-faced collection, the one proposed by Ray Ban: on the one side the trend setting look, on the other the undeniable quality, that live together in perfect harmony in a brand that manages to express the essence of those who choose it, creating a unique bond between the glasses and who’s wearing them.

Sorry, Ray-Ban has kept us waiting, too. Unfortunately, we are still awaiting approval. RayBan is still testing the entire process through Lens Crafters. At this time, they are the only ones that can etch the RayBan logo into the lens.
Any news on whether or not you are going to be able to etch the Rayban logo on prescription sunglass lenses? Been a long time!
Hi. I bought some brown Rayban aviators from a friend who said they are real that are stamped with the logo on the lense but have no code number on the inside arm. Are they originals? They are tinted brown metal frames with like a mesh inbetween the lenses.
Any idea where I can find RB 3179 temple tips. I just missed some in ebay for a good US $ 9.00 elsewhere they are $ 25.00.
Any suggestions???
Thanks
I was hoping I could just get a 58 mm Large Metal Aviator solid grey polarized lens. Not a big fan of the gradients.
That Ray Ban frame does have other lens options available. You can choose between the M2 lens, which is Polarized Brown Gradient or the M3 lens, which is Polarized Grey Gradient. Please let us know if you would like one of our sales representatives to contact you via phone or email. If you wish to contact us to purchase or have more questions, please feel free to do so. We are happy to help!
Nose Bridge: 58014
Left Temple Arm: RB8041 001 58014 3N
Right Temple Arm: Ray Ban Titanium Made in Italy
Bob -
This could be possible. Can you please let us know what model of RayBan Aviator you are wearing? You will find the model number on the inside temple (ear) piece. After we have this information, we can see what other lenses are available.
I purchased a pair of Titanium Aviators with a G15 lens and I really dislike this lens. Is it possible to just purchase another type of Rayban lens, say a polarized grey, and put them in the titanium frame the G15′s came in?
Hi, i just purchased a pair of RB 4126 Cats 1000 off of Ebay and they seem to be pretty authentic…. only ive been doing some research and everyone says the RB etching should be below the left hinge on the lense… only these are a different style and i was hoping that maybe on this style the RB is “supposed” to be below or is it above for every RB model???

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me.
I bought RayBan New Wayfarers prescription glasses, model 5184 and I believe it’s fake! On the right, it does not say “Made in Italy” and on the left, it doesn’t say “New Wayfarer”. I compared them with a friend who got his ordered from RayBan, so I’m sure his is real. I bought these just yesterday! Are these fake, or could the frame have changed? And if they are fake, can I go back to my store and ask for a refund..? ”
rb5184 is prescription version of the rb2132 “new wayfarer” sunglasses…. i believe they are made in china and they will not print “new wayfarer” on it…… so, yours is authentic…. if you want it to be like your friends, all you need to do is buy the rb2132 “new wayfarer” and pop the tinted lens out and insert clear prescription lens in…
Unfortunately, we are still waiting for Ray-Ban to open the program to more accounts. We’ll announce it once they have done so.
Hi, Can you confirm whether you are now able to provide prescription lenses for Ray Ban sunglasses with the “Ray Ban” Etching which you had said was planned for May 2010? If not, do you have any indication when this is likely to be available?
Yes, we can definitely put clear prescription or non prescription lenses in the Ray Ban Aviators. You will need to call 800-248-9427 and speak with one of our Ray Ban specialist.
Hi,
If I purchase Rayban aviator sunglasses, can I change the lenses to put clear optical ones?
