FAQs
What does 'G15 lens' mean?
G15 is a classic Ray-Ban lens tint. The 'G' stands for green, and '15' signifies that it transmits 15% of ambient light. It provides natural vision, excellent color contrast, and reduces glare effectively.
Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?
Yes, the G15 lenses are excellent for driving. They provide clear vision, reduce glare from surfaces like roads and water, and maintain natural color perception, which is crucial for identifying traffic lights and road signs.
What is 'Asian Fit' and how does it benefit me?
Asian Fit is a design modification that provides a more comfortable and secure fit for individuals with higher cheekbones and lower nose bridges. It helps prevent the sunglasses from sliding down the nose, resting on cheeks, or feeling too tight at the temples.
Can I get prescription lenses in these frames?
Info needed: While many Ray-Ban frames are compatible with prescription lenses, it's best to consult with an authorized optician or optical retailer to confirm if prescription lenses can be fitted into this specific model (RB2140F).
How do I know if these sunglasses will fit my face?
These sunglasses are specifically recommended for round and oval face shapes, as their squared design adds definition. For the best fit, consider trying them on or comparing measurements with your current eyewear, keeping in mind the Asian Fit considerations.
What is the frame material?
The frame of these sunglasses is made from high-quality acetate, known for its durability, lightweight feel, and ability to hold rich colors and patterns.
Troubleshooting
Lenses appear dirty or smudged often.
Ensure you are using the provided microfiber cloth for cleaning. For tougher smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning spray or a drop of mild dish soap with water, then gently wipe dry with a clean microfiber cloth. Avoid touching lenses directly with fingers.
Sunglasses feel loose or keep slipping down the nose.
While these feature an Asian Fit, individual fit can vary. A slight adjustment by an optician can tighten the frame arms or nose pads (if applicable, though Wayfarers usually have fixed nose pads). Ensure the Asian Fit is indeed appropriate for your facial structure.
Small scratches appearing on the lenses or frame.
Always store your sunglasses in their protective case when not wearing them. Avoid placing them lens-down on surfaces. Handle them carefully to prevent accidental drops or scrapes.
