Ray-Ban Authentic Lenses
Ray-Ban Authentic lenses are lenses made by Ray-Ban, signed with the Ray-Ban logo, and fitted by Ray-Ban, who make up the complete pair before it comes to us. We offer them on the Ray-Ban Meta frames we sell, made to your eye-test results or as zero-power lenses for the look. A Ray-Ban Meta pair with lenses takes around 10 working days.
What makes them different
Most optical lenses are made and fitted by an independent lab. Ray-Ban Authentic lenses stay with Ray-Ban from start to finish: Ray-Ban makes the lenses, etches its logo into every lens, and makes up the complete pair. You get the finishes Ray-Ban is known for, from G-15 green to gradients, mirrors and Transitions® Colour Touch, on a pair that is Ray-Ban through and through.
Which frames can have them
Ray-Ban Authentic lenses are available on the Ray-Ban Meta frames we stock: the Blayzer Optics RW7001, the Scriber Optics RW7002 and the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer RW4012. On our other frames, optical lenses are made and fitted by our specialist glazing lab.
The options
All Ray-Ban Authentic lenses are single vision and made to order. Prices are for the lenses, added to the price of the frame in the lens builder on each product page.

Ray-Ban Authentic or Essilor?
Every Ray-Ban Meta frame can also be fitted with Essilor lenses, made and fitted by our specialist glazing lab using the cold-mount process these frames need. Both are good lenses; the difference is in the finishes and the price.

Frequently asked questions
Are Ray-Ban Authentic lenses really made by Ray-Ban?
Yes. The lenses are made by Ray-Ban with the Ray-Ban logo etched in every lens, and Ray-Ban makes up the complete pair before it comes to us.
Can I have Ray-Ban Authentic lenses in a standard Ray-Ban frame?
At the moment we offer Ray-Ban Authentic lenses on Ray-Ban Meta frames only. Our other Ray-Ban frames can be fitted with optical lenses made by our specialist glazing lab.
What range of eye-test results can you make?
For Ray-Ban Meta frames, total power from −6.00 to +6.00, with cylinder up to 4.00, in single vision. If your results are outside that range, contact our specialist team and we will talk you through the options.
Do you make varifocal or bifocal lenses for Ray-Ban Meta?
No. Online, all our lenses are single vision.
How long does it take?
Around 10 working days for a Ray-Ban Meta pair with lenses, whichever lenses you choose. Delivery is free and tracked on every UK order.
What if I buy the frame only?
The Blayzer and Scriber Optics frames come with Ray-Ban’s clear demo lenses, and the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer comes with the lenses of the colourway you choose. Please note that having lenses fitted elsewhere may affect your warranty.
