Metallic Oval Sunglasses

Ray-Ban Metallic Oval Sunglasses combine durable optical glass with adjustable metal nose pads for a custom bridge fit, suiting square and rectangular faces while reducing peripheral glare via 51mm lens width. The 145mm temple length prevents ear ache, and non-polarized lenses allow uninterrupted device use by preventing screen darkening and rainbow patterns, trading extreme polarization for digital convenience.

Lens durability

Optical glass resists scratches and provides permanent UV protection.

Why this is supported

Ray-Ban uses optical glass lenses instead of polycarbonate.

Optical glass rates 6–7 on the Mohs hardness scale versus roughly 2–3 for polycarbonateLens material and optical clarity — scratch_resistance

This demonstrates superior scratch resistance. Furthermore, the UV protection is built into the glass:

Because the glass itself blocks UVA and UVB—rather than relying on a surface coating—the 100% protection cannot wear off or peel, staying effective for the lifetime of the sunglasses even with frequent cleaning.Lens material and optical clarity — inherent_uv_blocking
