Ray-Ban RX6489 2500 Gold

I've worn Ray Bans for decades, a union that occurred first when I learned to fly. Ray Ban aviators still set the standard they laid down in the 1930s - a fusion of large lens size to accommodate good peripheral vision, lightness, and aviation chic looks. In use they last well. Ordering a pair from the SelectSpecs website was relatively simple. I found the exact type of Ray Bans I wanted, uploaded my prescription, and chose the options for the lenses I needed. I was pleasantly surprised to find that options such as anti-scratch and anti-glare coatings came as standard. This was not the case with another large volume online/high street vendor I used last year. The price of the frames and lenses was also very good. Delivery of the finished glasses was on time.

Ordering a pair from the SelectSpecs website was relatively simple. I found the exact type of Ray Bans I wanted, uploaded my prescription, and chose the options for the lenses I needed.

Quality of the finished product and the fit was perfect. This is a service I will certainly use again.

I paid for the thinnest lenses and they were SO thick and heavy. I brought them to the eye doctor and they said they were not high index lenses and the prescription was significantly off as well. Ray ban did refund my purchase but it was a hassle to get another pair of glasses through another site since these were incorrect.

I needed glasses for summer driving, so I ordered Ray-Ban RX6489 and selected the 'brown polarized' option for additional $94.66.Workmanship: excellent as usual.Quality: Could be a bit better. The arms are too hard to open. I can live with that though, and maybe they will move easier after some usage.The main problem is with that 'brown polarized' option. It is anything but brown. In fact, it is a yellow-green tint. I am not sure that it is really 'great for driving' as advertised because it strongly distorts colors.While in general they are great glasses, I can't say that I am satisfied with this particular order.
