All The Different Types Of Ray-Ban Lenses

Ray-Ban is one of the leading brands in sunglasses fashion. Baush & Lomb founded the company in 1937. The first model of sunglasses was created by the US Air Force during World War II. This model is most well-known as the iconic aviator sunglasses. The Wayfarer was the first Ray-Ban model to go on sale in 1953.

Luxottica, an Italian company that makes Ray-Ban sunglasses and prescription glasses, currently owns Ray-Ban. It is a well-known brand that can adapt to all fashion trends, while its classic models remain.

Ray-Ban has changed over the years and there are now many models, lenses, and shapes. We will now explain the characteristics and most popular types of Ray-Ban lense.

 

Ray-Ban lens types: plastic or mineral

Ray-Ban can work with either glass or mineral lenses.

Glass or mineral lenses have many advantages, including being more resistant to scratches. However, they can also be fragile if they get too hard hit or are dropped to the ground.

Ray-Ban also offers plastic lenses. These lenses are stronger, lighter and easier to change if they are damaged.

 

Ray-Ban Lenses: Types and Colours

Ray-Ban currently has the following types of lenses: gradient, mirror, gradient without mirror, chromance, and gradient with mirror.

Uniformly colored lenses have the same color that covers all of the lens. They can be polarized or not. In the case of Ray-Ban the G-15 and 58 have the same green color, but the G-15 is polarized.

Gradient lenses are lenses which start at the top and then gradually descend to the bottom. colour 85 is gradient brown.

Mirrored lenses look the best and most original of all coloured lenses. Because the colour is better, they are often made from plastic. These lenses are available in colours such as colour 55 and 6Q.

These lenses are more visible if scratched than a uniformly coloured or degraded lens.

Ray-Ban's new collection includes chromance lenses. The brand is excited to show off its new range. Six layers of anti-reflective treatment are used to tint these lenses. They can achieve brighter colours, increase transparency, and improve contrast. This new Ray-Ban colour range includes the color 5L.

 

Types of Ray-Ban lens types: Polarised or non-polarized

We should also mention that Ray-Ban has a large selection of polarized lenses. We often find the same colour in both polarized or non-polarized versions of Ray-Ban lenses. Ray-Ban's decision to offer polarized colours is a smart move. Polarized lenses are used today by a large number of people.

There are three types of polarized colours: T3, 2V, and 58.
