Ray-Ban replacement prescription lenses for your own frame
Genuine Ray-Ban lenses, cut and glazed to the frame you already own. Tell us which Ray-Ban you have and we will show you every lens Ray-Ban make for it.
Which Ray-Ban is it?
The model number is printed inside one arm, starting RB. The size is the first number on the other arm. Those two are what your lenses are cut to.
Colour does not change the lenses — we have checked. It only tells us which frame is on the job, so leave it blank if you cannot find it.
Your prescription
We will take the order now and email you as soon as it lands, asking for your prescription and pupillary distance. Nothing is made until you send them and Benjamin has checked them against your frame.
Two things worth knowing. Your prescription needs to be less than two years old. And because we have not seen it yet, we cannot promise every lens on the next screen can be made in your power — if yours turns out not to be, we will tell you and refund in full before anything is ordered.
Pick each figure from the list, exactly as your prescription is written. Anything it does not show, leave as none.
How to read your prescription
OD and OS. Some prescriptions use the Latin. OD is your right eye, OS is your left.
Sphere, or SPH. Sometimes headed PWR or Power. The strength of the lens — a minus figure if you are short-sighted, a plus figure if you are long-sighted. If one eye needs no correction it will say plano, or 0.00.
Cylinder, or CYL. Only there if you have astigmatism, where one part of the eye needs more correction than the rest. Usually written with a minus sign, though some prescriptions use plus — pick whichever form yours is written in, they are equivalent and we will work from what you give us.
Axis. Belongs to the cylinder and never appears without one. A whole number from 1 to 180, often written after a ×. The box stays greyed out until you choose a cylinder, because on its own it would mean nothing.
If a figure on your prescription is not in the list, email ben@sunglassesuk.com before ordering.

Pupillary distance
The distance between the centres of your pupils, in millimetres. It is on most prescriptions, usually written as PD. Lenses cannot be centred to your eyes without it.
Not sure of your PD?
Measure it in a mirror. Stand about 20cm away and hold a ruler flat against your brow. Close your right eye, line the zero up with the centre of your left pupil, then close your left eye and read the number at the centre of your right pupil. Do it twice and take the average.
Or start from a typical figure. Most adult men are around 64mm and most adult women around 62mm. A measured PD is always better — if you use a typical figure we record it as an estimate and check it against your frame before anything is cut.

Etched with the Ray-Ban logo and cut to your own frame. Enhanced UV protection on both sides, a scratch-resistant hard coat and Ray-Ban anti-reflective, all included.
What happens next
Genuine Ray-Ban prescription lenses for a frame you already own, made by Ray-Ban and cut to your exact model and size. Single vision, in sun tints, clear or light-reactive, from £119.
Tell the picker which Ray-Ban you have and it shows only the lenses Ray-Ban actually make for that frame in your prescription, so you cannot order a lens that cannot be made. Every job is dispensed by a GOC-registered dispensing optician before it goes to Ray-Ban.
What Ray-Ban replacement prescription lenses cost
Prices start at £119 and run to £339, depending on which lens you choose. That price covers the lenses, the glazing and the coatings — UV protection, a scratch-resistant hard coat and anti-reflective are on every pair as standard, not sold on top.
Fitting is the only extra. Fit the lenses into your frame yourself and there is nothing more to pay. Prefer us to do it, and it is £10, which includes a Royal Mail label to send your frame in on.
What you are buying
- Genuine Ray-Ban lenses, made by Ray-Ban and etched with the Ray-Ban logo
- Cut and glazed to the exact model and size of the frame you already own
- UV protection, scratch-resistant hard coat and anti-reflective, included
- Dispensed by a GOC-registered dispensing optician, not packed off a shelf
How it works
- Tell us which Ray-Ban you have. The model number is printed inside one arm and starts RB; the size is the first number on the other arm.
- Choose your lens. You only ever see lenses Ray-Ban actually make for that model in your prescription.
- Send us your prescription, or choose to send it later if you do not have it to hand.
- Fit the lenses yourself when they arrive, or send the frame in and we will fit them.
How long it takes
Seven to ten days from the day the job is placed. If you are sending the frame in, that clock starts when it reaches us.
Which Ray-Bans can take prescription lenses
Every model and size in the picker above. A strong prescription narrows which lens colours will work on some frames, and the picker accounts for that before you pay — you are never shown a lens that cannot be made for your prescription and your frame.
These are single vision lenses, spheres from −6.00 to +6.00 and cylinders to 4.00. Ray-Ban do make varifocals, but we have not added them to this page yet — email us if you need a varifocal and we will quote you directly. Bifocals are not made for Ray-Ban sun frames.
If your frame has no prescription in it today
You do not need to have bought the frame from us, and it does not matter how old it is. If the frame is sound, it can be glazed. If it is not, we repair frames too.
Sunglasses UK has been repairing and reglazing eyewear since 1999. Everything is dispensed by a GOC-registered dispensing optician and an ABDO member.
