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!

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?

By: The Eyeglasses Guy

The Eyeglasses Guy — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 16:43:42 +0000

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?

Not all RayBans are being assembled in Italy these days so not all will say made in Italy. The right lens should have the RayBan logo stamped on the lens. There should also be some coding on the inside temple pieces to indicate model, color etc. You should be able to just ask your store if they are an authorized dealer or call Luxoticca customer relations at 800-343-5594 to inquire.

Here's what April, one of our opticians responded with after researching your question. I spoke with a customer service rep. at Luxottica regarding the sunglass version of the RB RX 5184. She states the only possible match might be the RB 2132 New Wayfarer in the 52 eye size, but she could not be certain since her system did not show any possible matches. I would recommend asking your Optical store for the sunglass model. As for different product codes, sunglasses have many lens styles, as eyeglasses only have a clear plastic demo lenses. Luxottica offers many Wayfarer style sunglasses, here are a few: RB 2140 Original Wayfarer RB 2132 New Wayfarer RB 2151 Square Wayfarer RB 4105 Folding Wayfarer RB 2143 II Wayfarer

Hi,
I’m buying a pair of wayfarer Ray Ban’s (5184 2000 I think), the optical ones not sunglasses.
The guy said he’d order them in, so I went back to pay and he said to speed things up he was able to get the sunglasses version instead of the optical but he assured me that they are exactly the same.
Is this true? and if it IS the true then why have different versions with different product codes?
Many thanks

It really depends on how much light you would like to be blocked. Fades typically do not block as much light however you are fully protected against the harmful UV rays no matter how light the tint.

Depending on what you are using the sunglasses for….Your lenses, silver and gray fade is describe as a “gradient tint” with a darker tint at the top, fading gradually to little or no tint at the bottom of the lens. This provides additional protection from light coming from above, without blocking too much light from straight ahead or below. If you find this lens is to light for your needs you may consider a “solid tint” where the whole lens is dark and blocks more light.
