Icons guide · Ray-Ban
An icon is not copied. It becomes yours.
Aviator, Wayfarer, Clubmaster or Round: four silhouettes with different character. The right one balances your face and fits your life.
Compare the icons ↓1937 — Today
From the sky to the street. Nearly a century of recognisable shapes.
Ray-Ban began by solving a vision problem and became part of popular culture. Its icons are not versions of the same frame: each changes proportion, material and attitude.
Aviator
Fine metal and a pilot lens: light, wide and instantly recognisable.
Wayfarer
Acetate arrives with an angular shape that changes sunglass history.
Clubmaster
The browline returns with an intellectual, graphic character.
Round
A circular, creative and deliberately different shape.
Aviator · Wayfarer · Clubmaster · Round
Four icons. Four effects on the face.
Look at the frame architecture before the name. These are the differences you will notice when you try them on.
Aviator
The teardrop visually lengthens and opens the face, with presence but little weight.

Wayfarer
Its defined tilted front adds structure and a clear, versatile silhouette.

Clubmaster
A strong upper line draws attention to the brow and adds a precise retro gesture.

Round
The curve softens angular faces; the right diameter keeps it in proportion.
Read the Round guide →Fit first
The right size looks right and feels right.
Shape creates desire; fit decides whether you wear the frame every day. Check these four signals.
The front should follow the face without extending too far or pressing the temples.
It should sit securely. Metal pads can be adjusted; acetate depends on bridge geometry.
Your pupils should sit reasonably close to the centre of the lenses.
They should reach the ears straight, without flaring out or leaving pressure marks.
Lens matters
Lenses change the experience as much as the frame.
Choose for where you will wear them. Colour, polarisation and prescription affect vision, not only appearance.
Classic colour
Balanced green designed to maintain a natural perception of colour.
Less glare
Especially useful for driving, the sea and highly reflective surfaces.
Your vision, your icon
Many sun and optical styles can take prescription lenses; model, size and prescription must be checked.
Next icons
Icons evolve too.
Ray-Ban expands its codes without losing the original silhouette: more volume, inverted lenses and integrated technology.

FAQ
Ray-Ban frequently asked questions
Which Ray-Ban suits each face shape?
There is no single rule. Aviator lengthens, Wayfarer structures, Clubmaster emphasises the brow and Round softens angles. Width and bridge matter just as much.
How do I know my Ray-Ban size?
Compare the numbers printed inside the temple with a comfortable frame. The first number is lens width, followed by bridge and temple length.
Are polarised Ray-Ban lenses worth it?
They are particularly useful for driving and time by the sea because they reduce horizontal glare. The choice depends on use and visual preference.
Can Ray-Ban sunglasses be fitted with prescription lenses?
Many models can, depending on frame, curvature and prescription. Check compatibility before purchase.
Is Ray-Ban eyewear from OpticalH authentic?
Yes. OpticalH sells authentic Ray-Ban eyewear with official warranty and optical guidance.
