Polarized lenses block more than 99% of reflected light around you, eliminate glares, and enhance contrast. Ray-Ban has been making high-quality frames that are both functional and stylish clubmaster for over 80 years. Gray lenses – These are meant to improve your color perception through the lenses. Brown lenses – Wear brown to provide greater contrast in low-light situations.
The semi-rimless, browline frame is flattering on almost any face and looks great with a huge variety of outfits. It wasn’t the original (that’d be the aviator), but the Wayfarer is the classic Ray-Ban. 72 years after its release, the glasses look just as good than they did back in the day, whether you choose to rock them with shorts and a tee or a full suit.
But in terms of both commercial availability and advanced features, the new Facebook Ray-Bans are years behind Snap’s glasses. The glasses’ nicest surprise might be the tiny speakers embedded in the rear of each temple. These not only provide audible cues for media capture, but let you stream music from your phone into your ears.
They also come in a whopping 45 color combinations, so, even though you’re bound to see these around town, you can still choose something unique. Ray-Ban glasses – like so many classic staples – were originally made for the military. In 1937, eyewear brand Bausch & Lomb designed the first Ray-Ban aviator with the help of US Army Air Corps Colonel John A. Macready. The aviators were meant to shield pilots’ eyes from glare, but once style pioneers spotted them back home, the glasses began their second life in fashion. The glasses have onboard storage that’s enough for second videos or 500 photos, according to Facebook. I never filled it up in one of my outings, but I also kept my phone nearby.
But, although plenty of stores carry Ray-Bans, many have limited options. Video, recorded in 30-second bursts, looks better than expected… But watch my video review and the clips and judge for yourself. Again, this is no GoPro, and the 30-second recording limit means these will never be real camera tools for serious hands-free sports, cooking, art or other possible uses.
If you are anything less than 100% satisfied with your Ray-Ban glasses or Ray-Ban prescription glasses, simply let us know within 45 days of receipt. We’ll be happy to remake them to perfection, coordinate an exchange, or provide a full refund. We’ve got you covered for shipping — both ways, and never charge restocking fees.

That’s why they come with a specially-designed portable charging case, so you can easily recharge your glasses — and keep them protected — while on the go.
If you share content to any other app, that app’s terms will apply. Similarly, our 5MP cameras are able to deliver superior media experiences compared with many more powerful cameras, thanks to a lot of work under the hood on the processing pipeline. The photos and videos captured on Ray-Ban Stories are perfectly suited for sharing to your favorite app. We designed media capture to stand up to a lot of movement — from your head swiveling to take in a scene to the speed of capture from your skateboard.
Playing music through the glasses tends to eat up the battery, though. After one three-hour session using the glasses to take sporadic photos and video, Peter’s battery was still at 70 percent. Lauren noticed, when she accidentally had music streaming to her glasses, that battery life drained more quickly. You can opt-in to share additional data — which includes things like the number of images you captured or how long you spend taking videos — with Facebook for product development, improvement, and personalization.
