FAQs

Are the lenses in the Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer RB2140 truly UV protective?

Yes, the G-15 Green lenses are designed to offer a high level of UV protection, blocking harmful UVA and UVB rays to safeguard your eyes from sun exposure.

What material is the frame made of?

The frame of the RB2140 is crafted from high-quality Acetate, known for its durability, comfort, and rich color.

How do I know if the '54-18' size is right for me?

The '54-18' refers to the lens width (54mm) and bridge width (18mm). This is a standard adult size that fits many individuals. It's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable and secure fit for your specific face shape.

Can I replace the lenses in my Wayfarer sunglasses?

Yes, genuine Ray-Ban replacement lenses are available, and many optical shops can replace them for you. It is recommended to have this done by a professional to ensure proper fit and integrity.

Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?

Yes, the G-15 Green lenses provide excellent clarity and true color perception, making them well-suited for driving conditions. They reduce glare and improve visual comfort.

What is the difference between the Original Wayfarer (RB2140) and the New Wayfarer (RB2132)?

The Original Wayfarer (RB2140) features a more distinct forward tilt and thicker frame arms, offering a bolder, more angular look. The New Wayfarer (RB2132) has a slightly softer, less tilted frame, which can feel more comfortable for some and offers a more contemporary interpretation of the classic design.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear smudged or unclear after cleaning.

Ensure you are using a clean microfiber cloth specifically designed for eyewear and a dedicated lens cleaning solution. Avoid using clothing or tissues, which can leave residues or scratches.

Sunglasses feel loose or slide down my nose.

While the Acetate frame of Wayfarers is rigid, minor adjustments to the arm temples can sometimes be made by a professional optometrist or eyewear specialist for a better fit. Avoid attempting to bend the frame yourself.

Frame feels stiff or makes creaking noises.

Hinge stiffness can sometimes occur. A tiny drop of silicone-based lubricant (avoid oil-based products) on the hinges can help, but it's often best to consult an eyewear professional for lubrication or adjustment.

Small scratches appear on the lenses.

Unfortunately, lens scratches are generally permanent. To prevent future scratches, always store your sunglasses in their protective case and avoid placing them face down on hard surfaces. Always use a microfiber cloth for cleaning.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the pristine condition of your Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses:

  1. Cleaning Lenses: Gently wipe the lenses with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. For smudges or dirt, use a specialized lens cleaning spray or a small drop of mild dish soap diluted in water. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and dry with a clean microfiber cloth. Avoid using paper towels or harsh fabrics, which can scratch the lenses.
  2. Cleaning Frames: The Acetate frame can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse and dry carefully.
  3. Storage: Always store your sunglasses in their original case when not in use. This protects them from scratches, dust, and accidental damage.
  4. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not leave your sunglasses in direct sunlight for extended periods (e.g., on a car dashboard), as extreme heat can potentially warp the Acetate frame or damage lens coatings.
  5. Handling: Always use two hands to put on and take off your sunglasses to avoid stretching the frame or misaligning the hinges.
