Ray-Ban Lenses For Non-Prescription Sunglasses

Ray-Ban has come out with a line of lenses that will fit any frame you want to put them in. I'm going on about the latest innovation in non-prescription sunglasses. This means that if you have been rocking your wayfarers for years and don't want to give up your signature look, they now offer lenses that will work for those frames too! So it's time to ditch your old glasses and get yourself some new ones.

Ray-Ban produces some of the most well-known sunglasses globally, with designs that seamlessly combine form and function. While the Ray-Ban lens is known for its classic frame forms, its technology cannot be overlooked. Ray-Ban maintains its leadership position via its distinctive appearance and the development of convenient sunglasses that protect the eyes while providing sharp, clear vision.

Crystal Vs. Plastic Ray-Ban Lenses

Ray-Ban sunglasses claims clear vision, comfort, 100 percent UVA/UVB protection, and durability whether you choose crystal (glass) or plastic (polycarbonate) lenses. In each material, you can select your replacement lenses' characteristics and hue. Both plastic and crystal lenses absorb blue light to provide the correct mix of visual comfort (too much blue light can induce eye tiredness) while still enabling you to see all colors in the spectrum.

Better clarity and homogeneity are two of the advantages of crystal lenses. For a natural, blemish-free optical surface, the pure optical glass is ideally consistent across the lens. In addition, scratch-resistant crystal lenses are available.

Ray-Ban plastic lenses are just as good as glass lenses, but they're lighter and more comfortable. They are recommended for sports since they are impact-resistant and meet or exceed FDA standards.

Lens Colors & Optical Properties

The hue of the lens you choose will affect how much and what kind of light is filtered out without reaching your eye. The most protection comes from the basic green and brown hues. Green is a good choice for clearer eyesight and a more relaxing feeling in the eyes. Brown lenses provide the most contrast, while grey lenses improve color perception the best. The special and gradient choices allow more visible light to pass through than solid-colored lenses.

Ray-Ban’s Solid, Gradient & Mirror Lenses

Ray-ban created Ray-Ban's solid (classic) lens collection for military pilots flying at high altitudes in the 1930s. Choose from seven color options, with green best for natural eyesight and brown being the best for low-light contrast.

On both crystal and plastic lenses, Ray-Ban's superior manufacturing techniques assure a smooth gradation. Choose from a plain gradient, a bi-gradient (which combines two colors), or a mirrored gradient, like RB3025 Gradient sunglasses. Mirrored reflective coatings make a striking design statement while decreasing light transmission. The metal oxide-based mirror coating is molecularly fused to the lens, so there's no peeling or loss of homogeneity across the lens.

Ray-Ban Lenses With Polarization & Anti-Reflective Coating

Every pair of Ray-Ban non-prescription sunglasses has a “P” next to the distinctive signature on the right lens, which denotes polarization. Polarized lenses reduce glare from the road, windshields, and water, as well as distracting reflections. They help minimize squinting and eye strain, leaving your eyes feeling refreshed and relaxed. In addition, polarized lenses improve visual clarity and perception by increasing contrast.

Polarizing filters are sandwiched between two layers of glass in crystal (glass) lenses. Then, the polarizing filter is bonded into the lens material itself for plastic (polycarbonate) lenses.

Ray-Ban polarized lenses have an anti-reflective coating on the back of the lens, allowing less than 1% of reflected light to reach your eyes.

Prescription Sunglasses

Indoors and at night, your spectacles may provide superb vision. On a sunny day, however, they cannot provide optimal vision.

You'll need prescription sunglasses for that. Only prescription sunglasses provide the best vision correction and a wide range of tints for the most comfortable vision in intense light.

Prescription sunglasses like Ray-ban prescription sunglasses provide the finest possible vision correction and a wide range of tints for the most comfortable vision in bright settings.

On sunny days, pick prescription sunglasses with polarized lenses for the best protection from glare and eye strain like the Ray-ban Rb3447. These lenses have a special filter that inhibits bright light reflections from water, sand, pavement, car hoods, and windshields.

Choose from a variety of lens and frame combinations to create your unique look. Here in Eyeglasses123, we have a wide selection of sunglasses to fit your style, from colorful or mirrored fashion lenses to traditional ones!

Non-Prescription Sunglasses When you Need Vision Correction

Many people with astigmatism, nearsightedness, or astigmatism opt for contact lenses and non-prescription sunglasses to improve their vision. However, instead of contact lenses and non-prescription sunglasses, prescription sunglasses are an option.

If you need vision correction and prefer a pair of non-prescription sunglasses, your eye care specialist may be able to replace the Plano lenses with prescription lenses in the same color. Another alternative is to fix your refractive mistake with LASIK or other eye surgery, then wear non-prescription sunglasses without contact lenses.

Essential Features

It's critical to buy only sunglasses that block 100 percent of the sun's damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays, regardless of where you purchase non-prescription sunglasses. Overexposure to UV radiation can cause significant eye problems, such as irreversible sun damage to the eye's front surface (cornea), cataracts, and even cancer.

The lenses' hue or density (darkness) has no bearing on the level of UV protection that non-prescription sunglasses give. UV radiation is unaffected by lens tints since it is invisible. Sunglass lenses block UV radiation because of the lens material and coatings that are also present in RB2132 classic sunglasses.

A sticker or tag applied to the lenses of most high-quality non-prescription sunglasses will specify the level of UV protection the sunglasses give. If you're not sure how much UV protection your non-prescription lenses offer, take them to a local eye doctor or optical store to be evaluated. If your sunglasses don't give enough UV protection, your eye doctor or optician can usually order new lenses that do. 

Enhancements

Look for sunglasses with an anti-reflective coating on the backside of the lenses for even more comfort when wearing non-prescription sunglasses. When the sun is behind you, this will reduce glare caused by light bouncing off the rear of your lenses.

Another alternative is to buy non-prescription sunglasses with photochromic lenses, clear indoors but darken automatically in the sun. Optical establishments and eye physicians' offices are usually the only places to get these lenses. Request a demo of these sun-activated tinted lenses from a local optometrist.

Purchase non-prescription sunglasses with polarized lenses if you want the best protection against glare generated by light reflections. A unique filter in the lens material minimizes powerful light reflections from water and smooth, shiny surfaces (like automobile windshields). Polarized lenses reduce eye strain while boating or fishing and are incredibly excellent for viewing beneath the surface of bodies of water.

Have an Eye Exam First

Schedule an eye check with an eye doctor near you before purchasing non-prescription sunglasses.

Even if you can pass a driver's vision test without glasses, prescription sunglasses may allow you to see far better. The only person who can tell you for sure is your eye doctor.
