FAQs
Are these frames suitable for progressive lenses?
Yes, the Ray-Ban RX5228 frames are compatible with a variety of lens types, including single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. Your optician can confirm the best fit for your specific prescription.
What material are these frames made from?
These frames are crafted from high-quality acetate, a durable and lightweight plastic known for its rich colors and comfortable feel.
How do I know if these frames will fit my face?
The Ray-Ban RX5228 is designed with a specific `50-17` size, generally fitting adult faces. They are particularly recommended for round and oval face shapes. The best way to determine fit is to try them on or consult with an optician for frame measurements.
Can I get blue light blocking lenses installed in these frames?
Absolutely. Once you purchase the frames, you can have your optician fit them with any type of prescription or non-prescription lenses, including those with blue light filtering coatings.
How should I store my Ray-Ban RX5228 frames when not wearing them?
Always store your glasses in the protective case provided or a similar hard case. This protects them from scratches, dust, and accidental damage, and helps maintain their shape.
Is the Ray-Ban signature durable, or will it fade?
The Ray-Ban signature is typically etched or embedded into the frame near the hinges, designed to be long-lasting and resistant to fading with normal use and proper care.
Troubleshooting
Glasses feel loose or keep sliding down.
Visit your optician for a professional adjustment. The acetate frame can be gently heated and reshaped to better fit your head and nose bridge, ensuring a snugger fit.
Lenses are constantly smudged or dirty.
Ensure you are using a dedicated eyeglass cleaning spray and a clean microfiber cloth. Avoid touching lenses with your fingers. Store glasses in their case when not in use to minimize dust and oil exposure.
Frames feel too tight or cause discomfort behind the ears.
A professional adjustment by an optician can resolve this. The frame arms can be carefully adjusted to relieve pressure points, making them more comfortable for extended wear.
Hinges feel loose or creak.
Loose screws are common. Use a small optical screwdriver to gently tighten the screws on the hinges. If the problem persists or the screw is stripped, visit your optician.
Frame appears warped or out of shape.
This can happen from exposure to heat or rough handling. Do not attempt to bend them back yourself, as acetate can break. Take them to an optician who can safely reshape them using specialized heating tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Professional Lens Fitting: Your Ray-Ban RX5228 frames come without prescription lenses. Take your new frames to a qualified optician with your current prescription. They will accurately measure, cut, and fit your prescription lenses into the frames.
- Frame Adjustment: Once your lenses are in, your optician can also make minor adjustments to the frame arms and nose pads (if applicable) to ensure a perfectly comfortable and secure fit on your face. This is crucial for optimal comfort and vision.
Compatibility
- Face Shapes: These frames are specifically recommended for round and oval face shapes. The `squared` and `Retro Wingtip` design adds beneficial corners and definition, helping to balance softer facial features.
- Gender: Designed as `Unisex`, these frames are suitable and stylish for both men and women.
- Age Group: Intended for `adult` users.
- Lens Types: Compatible with a wide range of prescription lens types, including single vision, progressive, and specialized coatings. Consult your optician for the best lens options for your needs.
Care
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your frames daily using a specialized eyeglass cleaning solution and a clean microfiber cloth. Gently wipe the lenses and frame to remove smudges, dust, and oils. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive materials, which can scratch the lenses and frame.
- Proper Storage: Always store your glasses in a hard protective case when not wearing them. This prevents scratches, bends, and accidental damage. Avoid leaving them exposed on surfaces where they could be knocked off or sat on.
- Handling: Always use both hands to put on and take off your glasses to prevent bending the frame arms and loosening the hinges over time.
- Avoid Extreme Heat: Acetate frames can warp or lose their shape when exposed to high temperatures. Do not leave your glasses in direct sunlight for extended periods (e.g., on a car dashboard) or near heat sources.
- Professional Maintenance: Periodically visit your optician for professional cleaning and adjustments to keep your frames in optimal condition. They can tighten screws and re-align the frame as needed.
