FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for women?

While marketed as male, the Round Metal series is widely considered unisex due to its classic shape and adjustable fit.

What does the 47-21 measurement mean?

47mm is the lens width and 21mm is the bridge width, indicating the size of the frame.

Can I replace the lenses with prescription ones?

Yes, most optical professionals can fit prescription lenses into these metal frames.

Do these frames fold up?

No, this is the standard Round Metal model and does not feature the folding mechanism found in some other Ray-Ban lines.

Are the lenses polarized?

This specific model (RB3447 002/B1) features solid-color lenses, which are not polarized.

Troubleshooting

The sunglasses feel loose or slip off the nose

Gently squeeze the adjustable nosepads closer together or carefully adjust the temple tips for a tighter grip.

Lenses have persistent smudges

Clean with a dedicated lens cleaner and a clean microfiber cloth; avoid using paper towels or tissues which can leave micro-scratches.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, iconic retro design
  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear
  • Adjustable nosepads allow for a custom fit
  • Durable full-rim metal frame construction

Cons

  • Metal frames are susceptible to bending if not handled carefully
  • Smaller 47mm size may not fit wider face shapes
  • Lack of polarized lenses in this specific model

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your sunglasses last, it is important to adjust the nosepads gently for a symmetrical fit on your bridge. When cleaning, use only a microfiber cloth and a mild soap-and-water solution to avoid scratching the lenses. Avoid leaving the glasses in high-heat environments like a locked car, as this can stress the frame materials and potentially warp the lenses. Always store the glasses in a protective hard case when not in use to prevent the thin metal arms from bending inside a bag or pocket.
