How to Replace Lenses on Ray Ban Sunglasses
Even the most careful and cautious wearer of sunglasses eventually breaks or loses a lens. Fortunately replacement lenses for your Ray Ban sunglasses are relatively easy to come by. Replacing the lenses usually costs a lot less than replacing the sunglasses, frames and all.

Does this Spark an idea?

Wrap the fingers of both hands gently around the sunglasses frame. Place both thumbs at either end of one lens. If the lenses are already out, you can skip this step.

4
Press gently with your thumbs--keeping a light pull tension with your fingers--until the lens pops backwards out of the frame. It might take some steady pressure to get the lens out, but you don't need to force it.

5
Turn the glasses around so that the earpieces point toward you.
-
6
Place the new lens on the inside of the frame, against the opening where it should be installed. Wrap your fingers around the frame. Place both thumbs against either side of the lens, and press gently and evenly until it pops into place.
-
7
Apply pressure around the edges of the new lens--still working from inside the glasses--to make sure it's firmly seated all the way around.

Be careful. Decor My Eyes is a scam. The owner stole my sunglasses. The site is also linked to several other fraudulent Internet eyewear companies. After speaking with trusted businesses that sell sunglasses, Luxotica is likely the most trusted place to repair sunglass lenses. -

If it feels like is to hard to remove the lenses, try dipping the frames in warm water so they can be soften and become more handable
