Ray-Ban 1972 OCTAGON Original Replacement Lenses

Original Ray-Ban RB1972 replacement lenses

If your Ray-Ban RB1972 frame is still in good condition but the lenses are scratched, replacing only the lenses is the smart way to bring your sunglasses back to life. At ReplacementLenses.net we supply original Ray-Ban replacement lenses with free shipping, checked by qualified opticians in our own workshop in Granada.

Model compatibility

These replacement lenses are made for Ray-Ban model 1972, with an irregular octagonal lens shape and a metal frame. They are cut for the specific geometry of this model, so they should not be chosen only by comparing the shape with other similar Ray-Ban frames. With an eight-sided metal rim, precision matters.

How to identify your model and size

Check the inside of the temple arm before ordering. You should find the Ray-Ban 1972 model reference and the lens size 54. Lens size is measured horizontally across the lens, not diagonally from corner to corner. This product is size 54, with a 56 mm diameter.

Frequently asked questions

Do these fit any octagonal Ray-Ban frame?
No. These lenses are intended for Ray-Ban 1972. Similar-looking frames may have different angles, rim channels or sizes, so the temple reference must be checked.

How do I know if I need size 54?
Look inside the temple arm for the model and size marking. This product is size 54, which refers to the horizontal lens width.

Are they original Ray-Ban lenses?
Yes. They are original Ray-Ban replacement lenses and include the Ray-Ban logo, supplied through official EssilorLuxottica distribution.

Are the lenses glass or plastic?
The product attributes specify mineral glass. Certain lens options add finishes such as gradient, mirror, polarized or photochromic depending on the selected code.

Is there a polarized option?
Yes, option 78 - blue gradient grey polarized - glass is listed as polarized. Original Ray-Ban polarized lenses carry the Ray-Ban P marking.

Can I install them at home?
The RB1972 is a metal frame, so the rim is normally opened carefully at the screw and the lens is seated in the correct position. If you are not used to optical screws, we recommend visiting an optician.

What if my frame is slightly bent?
The original lens has the correct geometry for the RB1972. If the metal rim has lost shape, an optician should adjust it before tightening the lens in place.
