Ray-Ban 3498 Original Replacement Lenses

Ray-Ban 3498 Replacement Lenses - Original Lenses RB3498

Restore your sunglasses with Ray-Ban RB3498 replacement lenses, made as original Ray-Ban lenses specifically for this adult sun model. They are the ideal replacement if your lenses are scratched or damaged, or if you want to change the color, finish or performance of your sunglasses without replacing the frame.

The Ray-Ban RB3498 stands out for its rectangular, sporty and lightweight design, with a metal structure created for comfort and durability in everyday wear. Replacing only the lenses lets you keep your original frame while restoring sun protection, visual clarity and the technical look of your sunglasses.

Compatibility with Ray-Ban RB3498

These lenses are compatible exclusively with the following model:

• Model: Ray-Ban RB3498
• Brand: Ray-Ban
• Available sizes: 61 mm and 64 mm
• Available diameters: 65 mm and 68 mm
• Shape: rectangular
• Curve: Base 8
• Lens material: polycarbonate / organic material
• Use: sun
• Target user: adult

Before placing your order, check the reference engraved on the inside of your sunglasses temple. You will usually find an inscription similar to this:

RB3498 002/71 61□17

In this example:

• RB3498 indicates the sunglasses model.
• 61 indicates the lens size.
• The middle code, such as 002/71, identifies the original frame and/or lens color.

You should always select the same size shown on your frame to ensure a proper fit. For this model, the difference between 61 mm and 64 mm is significant, as each size uses a lens with specific measurements.

These lenses have a Base 8 curve, designed to match the wraparound shape of the RB3498 correctly. If the frame is bent, open or has lost its original shape, we recommend checking it before installing the new lenses to avoid stress or poor fit.

If your sunglasses are not the RB3498 model or you are not sure about the exact reference, you can visit our category of original Ray-Ban lenses to find the compatible lenses for your model.

Original Ray-Ban lenses

This product consists of original Ray-Ban lenses for the RB3498 model. They are manufactured to the specifications of the original model, respecting the rectangular shape, Base 8 curve, finish and fit inside the front metal rim.

The lenses for the RB3498 model are made of polycarbonate / organic material. This material helps keep the sunglasses lightweight and works well with a curved, sporty design intended for comfortable daily wear.

Because these are original Ray-Ban lenses, they include the Ray-Ban logo. On polarized versions, the marking may appear as Ray-Ban P, depending on the original manufacturer reference.

Available colors for Ray-Ban 3498

You can choose from different original Ray-Ban colors to recover the original look of your sunglasses or give them a different style.

• 71 - Green
• 81 - Polarized gray
• 9A - Polarized green
• T5 - Polarized brown gradient

Color availability may vary depending on Ray-Ban stock and production.

Can I change the color or choose polarized lenses?

Yes. You can choose a different color from the one originally fitted to your sunglasses, as long as you correctly select the RB3498 model and the corresponding size: 61 mm or 64 mm.

You can also install a polarized version if it is available in your size. Polarized lenses help reduce disturbing glare produced by surfaces such as roads, water, snow or glass, making them a highly recommended option for driving, traveling or outdoor activities.

Polarized lenses and visual performance

Polarized lenses reduce glare and improve visual comfort in bright conditions. They are especially useful for driving, sports, outdoor activities and situations with intense reflections.

Gradient versions or lenses with special finishes remain compatible with the RB3498 model, provided that the correct size is selected.

Metal frame with front rim

The Ray-Ban RB3498 uses a metal structure with a front rim that holds the lens in place with a screw. To replace the lenses, you need to loosen the rim, remove the old lens and fit the new one while respecting the original shape, size and curve.

For this reason, it is important to use lenses designed specifically for the RB3498 model and for the correct size. We do not recommend adapting lenses from other models, even if they may look similar.
