Ray-Ban is renowned for its durability, UV protection, innovative lenses, and timeless designs, making it a symbol of style and performance worn by cultural icons.

How long do Ray-Bans last?
With proper care, like storing them in a protective case when not in use and cleaning them with the right materials, Ray-Bans can last five years or more, making them a dependable choice for long-term use.

What makes Ray-Ban so expensive?
Ray-Bans stand out for their excellent design and quality. Made with durable, high-quality materials, they are recognized as one of the most prestigious eyewear brands in the world—a reputation they’ve upheld since the 1930s.

Is polarized worth it?
Polarized lenses don’t offer more UV protection than standard 100% UV lenses, but they can provide clearer, sharper vision and reduce eye strain. If you often find yourself squinting, even while wearing sunglasses, it might be worth considering polarized lenses.

How to tell if Ray-Bans are real?
Authentic Ray-Bans feature the logo etched on one of the lenses, and polarized models include a ‘Ray-Ban P’ mark. To verify authenticity, run your finger over the etching—it should feel smooth and appear cleanly done. If it doesn’t, the sunglasses are likely counterfeit.

Who should not wear polarized sunglasses?
Pilots or individuals operating heavy machinery should avoid wearing polarized sunglasses, as well as those driving at night or in low-light conditions. Polarized lenses can also reduce glare awareness, which is important for activities like snowboarding or skiing, where spotting icy areas is crucial.

What ruins polarized sunglasses?
Avoid using paper towels or regular cloths to dry your lenses, as they can leave lint or dust and may scratch the surface. It’s also important not to use hot water when cleaning your sunglasses, as it could cause damage or warping.

Can I use alcohol wipes on Ray-Bans?
It’s not recommended to use alcohol wipes on your sunglasses, as the ingredients can damage the lens coatings. Additionally, the cloth in the wipes may scratch the lenses or leave behind lint.

What does Ray-Ban P mean?
Polarized: Ray-Ban® polarized lenses reduce reflections, boost contrast, and improve visual clarity while minimizing eye strain. Each polarized lens features a distinctive “P” next to the Ray-Ban® logo on the right lens and is treated with an Anti-Reflective coating.

What lenses should I buy?
Standard: Originally made for military use, the G-15 and B-15 lenses offer clarity, comfort, and protection for everyday wear.
Gradient: Available in various colors, these lenses transition from solid to transparent or feature a two-tone fade.
Mirror: The mirror coating reduces light and glare, enhancing visual comfort while adding a stylish look.
Polarized: Ray-Ban® polarized lenses reduce reflections, boost contrast, and improve clarity, with a distinctive “P” and Anti-Reflective coating.
Chromance: These lenses enhance color, reduce glare, and improve clarity for outdoor activities.
Evolve: Photochromic lenses that adjust to light conditions by changing color.
Legends Collection: Retro-inspired lenses combining vintage style with modern innovation.
Prescriptions: Ray-Ban prescription lenses use DST technology for lightweight, clear vision and maximum comfort.

What are the metal frames made of?
The metal frames are crafted from alloy metals, which may include nickel. However, the coating and polishing process ensures the frames are hypoallergenic and safe for everyone to wear.
