Original Ray-Ban RB0502S Wayfarer Reverse Replacement Lenses

Original Ray-Ban R0502S Wayfarer Reverse lenses

Restore your Ray-Ban R0502S Wayfarer Reverse with original Ray-Ban replacement lenses and keep the distinctive concave Reverse look. If your frame is still in good condition, replacing only the lenses is the smart option: free shipping and savings of up to 60% compared with buying new sunglasses.

Model compatibility

These lenses are made for the Ray-Ban R0502S Wayfarer Reverse. They are not standard flat Wayfarer lenses and should not be fitted into similar-looking frames. The listed lens curvature is Hyperbolic paraboloid 2-4, which is essential to the Reverse design.

The frame colour does not determine compatibility. What matters is the model reference and the correct size.

How to identify your model and size

Check the inside of the temple arm. You should find the model reference R0502S followed by the lens size. This replacement is available in size 50 and size 53. Size 50 corresponds to height 42 and diameter 54 mm; size 53 corresponds to height 46 and diameter 60 mm.

Because this is a concave Reverse lens, measuring the old lens by eye can be misleading. The temple marking is the safest way to order the correct lens option.

Material, protection and lens finishes

These lenses are made from polycarbonate and designed for sunglass use. The 83 brown option is polarized; if you want polarization, choose the lens option explicitly marked as polarized. Other available lens finishes include solid tints, gradient colour and mirror.

UV400 protection blocks 100% of UVA and UVB rays. With the Reverse concept, keeping the original geometry is particularly important: a flat generic lens would change the appearance and the intended fit.

Why replace only the lenses

If your R0502S frame is comfortable and undamaged, new original lenses make it feel like a fresh pair without paying for a complete new sunglass. It is also a more sustainable choice because you keep using the frame you already own.

Frequently asked questions

Do these fit the classic Wayfarer? No. These lenses are specifically for Ray-Ban R0502S Wayfarer Reverse and use Hyperbolic paraboloid 2-4 curvature. A flat lens from another Wayfarer model will not reproduce the Reverse design.

How do I choose size 50 or 53? Look inside the temple arm for the size marking. For R0502S, choosing the correct size is essential for a secure fit.

Are they original Ray-Ban lenses? Yes. They are original Ray-Ban replacement lenses from the official EssilorLuxottica channel and include the Ray-Ban logo.

Are all colours polarized? No. Only 83 - polarized brown - plastic is polarized. Choose that option if you specifically need polarized lenses.

Can I install them at home? Acetate frames are usually pressure-fitted, often with gentle controlled heat. If you are not used to fitting lenses, an optician should do it to avoid damaging the frame.

Will the frame colour matter? No. Compatibility depends on model R0502S and size 50 or 53, not on the frame colour.
