FAQs

What is the main appeal of the Colourblock Collection?

The Colourblock Collection, including this model, is designed to offer bold, vibrant colours that express carefree confidence and a summery, energetic vibe.

Are these sunglasses suitable for all face shapes?

The Original Wayfarer shape is a classic design that complements many face shapes. However, the transparent red colour adds a bold element that may stand out more on certain features.

Can I get prescription lenses fitted into these sunglasses?

While this specific model might come with standard lenses, Ray-Ban frames are often compatible with prescription lenses. It is best to consult with an optician or your eye care professional to confirm availability and fitting.

How should I clean the transparent red frame?

Wipe the frame with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to preserve the frame's finish.

What is the purpose of the included Ray-Ban cord?

The cord is included to securely attach the sunglasses to your head or neck, preventing them from falling off during activities or when not being worn.

How durable is the transparent frame material?

Ray-Ban uses quality materials for durability. However, transparent frames may be more susceptible to showing smudges and require regular cleaning. Proper care will ensure longevity.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel too tight or too loose

Gently adjust the temple arms. If they are too tight, you can carefully bend them outwards slightly. If too loose, bend them inwards. For significant adjustments, consult an optician.

Lenses are smudged or dirty

Clean the lenses with a soft microfiber cloth. For tougher grime, use a lens cleaning solution specifically made for eyewear and then wipe with a clean microfiber cloth.

Frame colour seems faded or damaged

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high heat when not wearing them. If damage has occurred, repair may not be possible due to the nature of the transparent material.

The included cord keeps slipping off

Ensure the cord is securely attached to the ends of the temple arms. Some users find adding a small, clear rubber o-ring where the cord attaches can provide extra grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These sunglasses require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Adjust the temple arms slightly if needed for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility:

  • Face Shapes: The classic Wayfarer shape is generally compatible with most face shapes, though the bold colour might be more pronounced on certain features.
  • Lens Options: While this specific model comes with standard lenses, Ray-Ban often offers similar frames compatible with prescription lenses. Check with your optician for customisation possibilities.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the clarity of your lenses and the condition of your frames:

  1. Cleaning Lenses: Gently wipe lenses with the provided microfiber cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or household cleaners, as they can damage lens coatings. For stubborn dirt, use a lens cleaner specifically designed for eyewear.
  2. Frame Maintenance: Wipe the frames with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid exposing the frames to excessive heat or prolonged sunlight when not wearing them, as this can affect the colour and material.
  3. Storage: Store your sunglasses in the protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage. Always use the included Ray-Ban cord when wearing them during active periods to avoid drops.
