FAQs

Are these glasses suitable for progressives?

Yes, the frame size is generally compatible with progressive and multifocal lenses, but please confirm with your optician.

Do these frames come with a case?

Ray-Ban typically includes a branded protective case and cleaning cloth with the purchase.

Can I replace the demo lenses with non-prescription blue light filters?

Yes, many opticians can fit these frames with custom blue light blocking lenses.

How do I know if the 48-21 size fits me?

The 48 refers to lens width in mm and 21 to bridge width. Check the inside arm of your current comfortable glasses to compare measurements.

Are these frames heat-resistant?

While durable, avoid leaving them in extreme heat, such as on a car dashboard, to prevent frame warping.

Troubleshooting

Glasses sliding down the nose

Visit an optician to have the temples adjusted for a tighter grip behind the ears.

Frames feel misaligned on the face

The metal or acetate components may need professional heat adjustment by a technician.

Lenses keep fogging up

Apply an anti-fog spray or coating specifically designed for your prescription lenses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your RB5457D glasses, you must visit a qualified optician to replace the factory-installed demo lenses with your specific prescription. Do not attempt to use the provided demo lenses for daily vision correction.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a microfiber cloth and a dedicated lens cleaning solution to remove smudges. Avoid using abrasive fabrics like paper towels.
  • Storage: Always store the glasses in a protective hard case when not in use to prevent scratching or accidental frame bending.
  • Adjustment: If the frames feel loose or sit unevenly, visit an optical shop for a professional frame adjustment to ensure the arms and bridge fit your face perfectly.
