FAQs

Are these sunglasses polarized?

The Original Wayfarer Classic in this specific variant features standard dark grey lenses; please verify the specific model SKU if you require polarized technology.

Can I put prescription lenses in these frames?

Yes, the Original Wayfarer Classic frame is compatible with most prescription lens installations through an authorized optician.

What is the best way to clean the transparent frame?

Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or paper towels, which can scratch the transparent finish.

Do these sunglasses provide UV protection?

Yes, all authentic Ray-Ban lenses offer 100% UVA and UVB protection.

Are these suitable for all face shapes?

The Wayfarer shape is famously versatile and generally suits oval, round, and heart-shaped faces particularly well.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear smudged or blurry

Clean both sides of the lenses with a dedicated microfiber cloth and a gentle lens cleaning spray.

Frame feels slightly loose during wear

Visit a local eyewear professional to have the temple hinges tightened or the arms adjusted to your specific head shape.

Fine scratches appearing on the frame

While minor surface scratches are often unavoidable with transparent materials, use a plastic-safe polishing compound sparingly if necessary, or seek professional buffing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless and iconic design language
  • Bold, eye-catching color profile
  • Sturdy acetate construction
  • Reliable sun protection
  • Comfortable fit for most adult face shapes

Cons

  • Transparent frame finish may show scratches more easily
  • Specific colorway is less understated than black or tortoise
  • Not intended for extreme high-impact sports

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sunglasses come ready to wear out of the box. To maintain the condition of the violet-on-transparent acetate frames, always store the glasses in their protective case when not in use to prevent the transparent plastic from picking up surface marring. Clean the lenses exclusively using a microfiber cloth and a mild, alcohol-free lens solution to avoid damaging any protective coatings. If the fit feels too loose or tight, consult an authorized optician to safely adjust the arms using heat; do not attempt to force the frame material manually, as this can cause the acetate to crack.
