FAQs

What does 'bio-based' mean for these sunglasses?

The frames are made with 67% bio-based carbon content, meaning a significant portion of the material is derived from renewable sources rather than petroleum. This is part of Ray-Ban's sustainability initiative.

Are these sunglasses polarized?

This specific limited edition model features dark grey lenses, but they are not explicitly stated as polarized in the product description. Always check the specific product details if polarization is a key requirement.

How do I clean the transparent blue frames?

Clean the frames with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could potentially cloud or scratch the transparent material.

What is the size of these sunglasses?

The size indicated is 56-14, referring to a lens width of 56mm and a bridge width of 14mm.

Will Ray-Ban make more of this limited edition model?

This is a limited edition with only 650 pairs available online. It is unlikely that more will be produced once sold out.

Can I get replacement lenses for these sunglasses?

While specific replacement lens options can vary, Ray-Ban authorized dealers or opticians may be able to assist with replacement lenses if needed. Due to the limited nature, specialized support might be required.

Troubleshooting

Frames feel loose or wobbly.

Gently tighten the screws at the hinges using a small eyeglass repair kit. If you are uncomfortable doing this, take them to an optician.

Lenses are smudged or dirty.

Use a clean microfiber cloth specifically designed for eyewear. For tougher smudges, a drop of mild dish soap and water followed by rinsing and gentle drying with the cloth can be effective.

Sunglasses feel uncomfortable or slip down.

Ensure the fit is correct for your face shape. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by a professional optician. Check that the bridge width (14mm) is suitable for your nose.
