Ray-Ban Wayfarer prescription lenses

Yes, your own Ray-Ban Wayfarer can take your prescription. We glaze genuine Ray-Ban Authentic prescription lenses, made by Ray-Ban and etched with the Ray-Ban logo, into the frame you already have. Prices start at £119 for clear, £139 for a sun tint, £189 polarised and £259 light-reactive. That covers the lenses, the glazing and the coatings. If you want us to fit them, it is £10 more.

The Wayfarer is the Ray-Ban people keep longest, and the one we are asked about most once a prescription changes.

Which Wayfarers we can glaze

18 Ray-Ban Wayfarer models at the time of writing, each checked against Ray-Ban's own prescription range. Choose yours below and the configurator opens with that frame already selected, so all that is left is the size.

Not on the list? Every Ray-Ban and Oakley frame we glaze is on our prescription lenses page, or email us the model number and we will tell you.

Finding your model and size

Both are printed inside one of the arms: the model code, the colour code, then the size, something like RB2140 901 50. If the print has worn off, our guide to finding your Ray-Ban model number shows where else to look, or email us a photo and we will identify the frame.

The Wayfarer RB2140 is made in three sizes, 47, 50 and 54. The size is the first of the two small numbers printed inside the arm, so RB2140 901 50□22 is a 50mm frame. Lenses are cut to the size, so it matters.

What it costs

  • Clear: £119
  • Clear with blue-light filter: £149
  • Sun tint: G-15, B-15, blue, violet, gradients, mirrors: from £139
  • Sun tint, polarised: from £189
  • Thinner lens for stronger prescriptions: from £159
  • Light-reactive: grey, brown or G-15: £259

Those are complete prices: the lenses, glazing to your frame, 100% UV protection, a scratch-resistant hard coat and Ray-Ban anti-reflective. The configurator shows the exact figure for your frame and prescription before you pay. Free UK delivery.

Fitting

Most Wayfarers are acetate or moulded plastic. The frame is warmed so the lens can be eased in, which is easy to get wrong the first time, so most people send the frame to us. Fitting is £10 and includes a Royal Mail label to send it in on. If you have fitted acetate frames before, fit them yourself and there is nothing more to pay.

How it works

  1. Choose your frame and size. Pick it from the list above or type the model code into the configurator.
  2. Choose your lens. You only see lenses Ray-Ban can make for your frame in your prescription, so anything you can select, we can make.
  3. Give us your prescription. Enter it when you order, or send it on later and we will email you for it. It needs to be less than two years old.
  4. We check it before anything is ordered. Benjamin Myers, a dispensing optician registered with the General Optical Council, checks every prescription against the frame. If it cannot be made, you are refunded in full.

It takes seven to ten working days from the day the job is placed. If you are sending the frame in for fitting, that starts when it reaches us.

What we can and cannot do

  • Single vision only for now. Ray-Ban make varifocals and we will be adding them. Email us if you need one and we will quote you directly.
  • Power range: spheres from −6.00 to +6.00 and cylinders to 4.00 on most frames.
  • Lenses made to your prescription cannot be cancelled or returned once the job is placed, because they are ordered against your exact frame. If they do not fit your frame, we fit them free of charge. Your Consumer Rights Act rights are unaffected.

If the frame needs work first

A loose hinge or a stretched arm is usually repairable, and we would rather repair it than tell you to buy another. See our Ray-Ban repair service. If you only want non-prescription lenses, those are on Ray-Ban replacement lenses.
