Product Insights
The Zoya Aviator Glasses by Otra offer blue light blocking and UV protection in clear, non-amber lenses that look like regular glasses, framed in lightweight, hypoallergenic acetate for all-day comfort. At CAD $99, they undercut typical prices for UV400 and blue light filtering acetate frames. The medium-small aviator fit (53×17×142 mm) suits medium to wide noses with a wider bridge than classic designs. A tradeoff: the acetate requires careful maintenance—avoid chemicals and extreme heat, clean with mild soap—but scratches can be polished out and the frame develops a personalized patina. An included storage pouch adds value often absent in sub-$100 competitors.
- Sizing
53×17×142 mm frame: medium-small aviator with narrower lenses and a wider bridge than the classic Ray-Ban.
Why this is supported
The Zoya's 53 mm eye width is 2 mm below the smallest Ray-Ban Aviator, which is described as:
The smallest of the three Ray-Ban Aviator sizes, say hello to the Aviator 55mm eyesize!
sportrx.comThe 17 mm bridge is 3 mm wider than the classic Ray-Ban's 14 mm, as sportrx.com notes:
all Original Aviators (RB3025) have the same bridge size. Spoiler alert: it is a narrow 14mm.
sportrx.comThe bridge also fits the 16–18 mm range recommended for low nose bridges:
If your bridge is low (level or below your pupils) or narrow, your bridge size will be a low number (between 16-18).
clearly.caThe frame width of 142 mm exceeds the 136 mm of a Ray-Ban 58 mm, and the 142 mm temples are longer than the 135–140 mm range typical for small heads. The dimensions result in a medium-small aviator silhouette that suits narrow to medium features, as noted by sportrx.com:
If you have delicate facial features or a small face, the Aviator 55mm is ideal.

- Cleaning
Alcohol and acetone damage acetate; clean with water and mild soap.
Why this is supported
Acetate frames are chemically sensitive. The source warns that alcohol and acetone strip plasticisers and leave a permanent cloudy film:
Chemical Solvents (The Biggest Danger): Keep your frames completely away from acetone (nail polish remover), rubbing alcohol, hairsprays, and heavy perfumes. These chemicals cause a chemical reaction with cellulose acetate, stripping away the plasticizers and leaving behind an unfixable, cloudy white film.
wveyewear.comThe care protocol for the Zoya then specifies the safe method:
so preserving the Zoya’s rich brown depth demands cleaning only with lukewarm water, mild lotion‑free soap, and the included microfiber pouch, never the alcohol‑based lens wipes that are safe for the lenses but destructive to the frame.
