I’ve used SmartBuyGlasses before. I bought a pair of Tom Ford glasses. They came quickly, and the price and quality were outstanding! This made me want to place another order with them. They did not disappoint! This is now my go-to spot for eyewear!

Ray-Ban Sunglasses

For almost a century now, Ray-Ban has been synonymous with sunglasses. However, the first Ray-Bans were created during World War II for fighter pilots. The creators, Bausch & Lomb, were commissioned by the U.S. Army Air Corps to design eyeglasses to shield war pilots from the intense sunlight when they flew at high altitudes. This gave birth to the vintage Aviators, originally known as the "General Purpose" sunglass. The design is still iconic with its sophisticated yet unpretentious teardrop lenses and wireframe. Ray-Ban soon became a symbol of courage and bravado, leading to massive popularity after the war with celebrities and the public. Adorned by everyone from Bob Dylan to John Lennon, Ray-Ban sunglasses are as popular today as they were decades ago. It is all about design, quality, and a legacy that continues to garner loyal followers. 

 

What makes Ray-Ban sunglasses unique is their blend of form and function. It all goes back to their design philosophy of style and practicality. This design philosophy has created iconic shapes like the Aviator, Erika, and Wayfarer, the all-time best-selling Ray-Bans. The brand’s manufacturing process is meticulous and consistently delivers superior quality and durability. Over time, Ray-Ban has launched a range of sunglasses for men and women. You can also find the latest Ray-Ban shades for kids on our website. In short, there is something for everyone. Ray-Ban is not only one of the highest-selling sunglasses brands in the world but also on our website. At SmartBuyGlasses, we have one of the largest selections of Ray-Ban shades online.

Another characteristic of Ray-Ban sunglasses is durability. These sunglasses are built to last, just like the brand itself. This is made possible with durable materials (like acetate and stainless steel) and precision engineering. Apart from the aesthetics and durability, Ray-Ban sunglasses are highly functional, featuring a variety of lens options that reduce glare and provide visual clarity.

Not all Ray-Ban sunglasses are available with prescription lenses. However, the brand does offer a wide range of prescription eyewear, including sunglasses. Purchasing Ray-Ban prescription glasses from our website is simple and convenient. You can explore the inventory and use the virtual try-on feature to find a pair that suits your face and overall style. When you click on the product, you can find prescription details at the bottom of the page. To order prescription glasses, you need to upload a valid prescription. You can use our free prescription scanner for a quick overview of your vision needs, but it is not a replacement for a certified optician. But if you have a valid and up-to-date prescription, you can easily get the prescription glasses of your choice from our website (provided Ray-Ban offers prescription options on the frames you have selected).

Ray-Ban was sold by Bausch & Lomb In 1999 to the Italian eyeglasses manufacturer Luxottica. So currently, Ray-Bans are manufactured in Settimo Torinese, near Turin, Italy. Some of the manufacturing is also outsourced from Italy, but the quality is never compromised. When you browse Ray-Ban sunglasses at SmartBuyGlasses, you can find manufacturer information at the bottom of the product page. You can also verify the authenticity of Ray-Ban sunglasses by checking the brand’s logo engraved or printed on the lenses, frames, and case. You can touch the logo on the lenses to feel that it is smooth and perfectly etched. You will also find a model number or code on the temple of the frames. It is a code for the model, colour, description, size, and type of glass.

Right here at SmartBuyGlasses! We have one of the largest collections of Ray-Ban eyewear you can find online. We even have a section dedicated to Ray-Ban sunglasses sales!
