FAQs

Are the lenses on these Original Wayfarers polarized?

The specific 'Green Lenses' for this model (RB2140 901 54-18) are typically the classic G-15 lenses, which are not inherently polarized unless specifically stated as 'G-15 Polarized'. G-15 lenses offer excellent clarity and natural vision.

What do the numbers '54-18' mean in the model name?

These numbers indicate the dimensions of the sunglasses: '54' refers to the lens width in millimeters, and '18' refers to the bridge width (the distance between the lenses) in millimeters.

Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?

Yes, the green lenses are generally suitable for driving as they provide good contrast and natural color perception without significantly distorting colors, making them safe for road use.

What material is the frame made of?

Info needed: The exact frame material is not specified in the product description. Ray-Ban Wayfarer frames are typically made from a durable acetate, known for its robustness and ability to hold its shape.

Do these sunglasses come with a case?

Yes, all authentic Ray-Ban sunglasses, including the Original Wayfarer Classics, come with an original Ray-Ban protective case and cleaning cloth.

Do the lenses offer UV protection?

Yes, Ray-Ban lenses are designed to block 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, providing essential protection for your eyes.

How can I tell if my Ray-Ban Wayfarers are authentic?

Authentic Ray-Ban Wayfarers have several indicators: a Ray-Ban logo etched on the right lens (left when wearing), 'RB' etched on the left lens, 'Ray-Ban' and 'Made in Italy' (or similar) imprinted on the inside of the right temple arm, and the model number and size on the inside of the left temple arm.

Are there different sizes available for the Original Wayfarer?

Yes, while the '54-18' is a common size, the Original Wayfarer is often available in other sizes to accommodate different face widths. Check the product listings for other available dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or keep slipping down my nose.

Gently check the screws at the hinges to ensure they are snug. For persistent slipping, a professional optician can adjust the temple arms or nose pads (if applicable) for a more customized fit.

Lenses appear smudged or difficult to clean.

Ensure you are using a clean microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water or use a recommended lens cleaning spray, then wipe gently. Avoid using clothing or harsh chemicals.

Minor scratches on the lenses.

Unfortunately, deep scratches cannot be removed. To prevent future scratches, always store your sunglasses in their protective case when not wearing them and avoid placing them lens-down on surfaces.

Frame feels stiff when opening/closing.

Regular use should help loosen the hinges. If stiffness persists or worsens, a tiny drop of a non-abrasive lubricant specifically designed for glasses hinges (consult an optician) can be applied, but often a professional adjustment is best.

  • Unisex design appeals to a wide range of users.
  • Known for durable construction, ensuring longevity.

Cons

  • The frame's specific angle and fit may not suit all face shapes universally.

Setup: Your Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Classics require no complex setup. Simply unpack them from their protective case, unfold the temples, and place them on your face. A quick check in a mirror can help ensure they sit comfortably on your nose bridge and behind your ears. Compatibility: These sunglasses are designed for adults and feature a unisex appeal, making them suitable for anyone looking for an iconic eyewear style. Their classic black frame and green lenses complement a wide range of personal styles and wardrobes. The size `54-18` indicates a lens width of 54mm and a bridge width of 18mm, fitting most average adult face sizes. Care: To ensure the longevity and pristine condition of your Wayfarer sunglasses: - Cleaning: Use the provided cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lenses and frames. For tougher smudges, use a small amount of specialized lens cleaner or lukewarm water with a mild soap, then dry with the cloth. Avoid paper towels or abrasive materials which can scratch lenses. - Storage: Always store your sunglasses in their original protective case when not in use. This protects them from scratches, dust, and accidental damage. - Handling: Always hold your sunglasses by the frame, not the lenses, to avoid smudges and accidental damage. Avoid placing them face down on hard surfaces. - Avoid Extreme Heat: Do not leave your sunglasses in direct sunlight for extended periods, such as on a car dashboard, as extreme heat can warp the frame or damage lens coatings.
