FAQs

What face shapes are these sunglasses best suited for?

The Ray-Ban Phantos sunglasses are recommended for oval and heart-shaped faces due to their balanced proportions and distinctive concave front.

How do I clean the lenses without damaging them?

Always use a clean microfiber cloth. Gently wipe the lenses in a circular motion. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or harsh cleaning chemicals.

What material are the lenses made of?

The lenses are made from bio polyamide, offering a balance of durability and visual clarity.

What does 'Phantos' shape refer to?

The Phantos shape is an iconic Ray-Ban silhouette characterized by rounded, slightly geometric lenses and a distinct keyhole or saddle bridge.

Are these sunglasses suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, they offer reliable sun protection and a comfortable fit for many, especially with the high bridge design. However, comfort can vary based on individual facial structure.

What is the difference between this model and classic Phantos?

This model, the RBR0505S, features an oversized and concave front, offering a more contemporary and bold interpretation of the traditional Phantos shape.

Can the temple length be adjusted?

Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by a professional optician. It's best to consult an eyewear professional rather than attempting adjustments yourself.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or slide down the nose.

Adjust the temple arms slightly or consider purchasing silicone nose pads for a more secure fit. Ensure the bridge fit is appropriate for your nose shape.

Scratches on lenses.

Clean gently with a microfiber cloth. Minor scuffs may be inherent to use; for significant damage, professional repair or lens replacement might be necessary.

Frame feels tight or uncomfortable.

Acetate frames can sometimes be adjusted by a professional optician. Avoid attempting to bend them yourself, as this can cause breakage.

Poor visibility in low light.

These sunglasses are designed for bright conditions. For low-light or indoor use, it's recommended to switch to clear or lightly tinted eyewear.
