Thanks for this. I followed your guide and was able to swap a chipped lens in my Ray-ban Wayfarers when two opticians said it couldn't be done. Had to remove the arms, but that was no hassle and used a hair dryer. Wouldn't have had the confidence without your guide how. Much appreciated.

Hi. Thanks for this video ... especially the second removal to show that it isn't that easy, lol. I ended up having to carefully use a Dremel and a heat gun to get the lens out. New lens was easy to install just some heating like you presented and I now have my RayBans back! Thanks.

You grab my attention with that hair dryer... I thought you were going to use the hammer method. 😂 Nice work

Thanks so much for making this video it was much need!

Perfect instructions!

thanks for the video ! I used the water method . The water cooled pretty fast when I put the sunglasses in so I had to reheat the water a few times but once the frames got up to temp the old cracked glass came out in one piece. Then I reheated the water and submerged the frame again and then installed the new lens. Popped right in.

Sir, does this method work with Ray-Ban reading glasses? Thank you.

Will the heat damaged polarized lenses?

Thanks this worked, i just put it in water and pushed them out, my glasses are stylr 4226 so might be a bit easier than the wayfarer

First, I want to thank you for creating the video but OMG, was this a pain to do. I had two pairs with damage to the opposite lenses so I figured out of two I would make one. I thought that the water method would be the easiest but I had no luck with that even though the water was approaching boiling and the glasses were so hot that the heat from the lense was coming through my leather work gloves. The hair dryer seemed to work better and I was able to remove one of the lenses with what I about as much pressure as I expected but I couldn't get the cracked one out to save my life. Since the lense was already cracked a small hammer solved that problem. Putting in the new one was a nightmare and took me almost 45 minutes of heating and pressure and finally I used the corner of a wood cutting board to snap in the last corner of the lense. Acetate

Brother can I turn off the ray ban lights please answer me if we broke the lens can it's fine or not?

honestly thought that was a hammer at first... expected this to be satire haha

Are the Original wayfarer lens the same shape/size of the folding one? Can I swap between the two?

Folding, Ease and Wayfarer Original have the same glass lenses

Where can we order ray ban lenses for sunglasses with the Rayna logo?

pushing out from the bottom is working great compared to pushing from the corner/bridge. Thank you so much for the tip, It went perfectly in after drawning in 80°c water for 30'sec.

I didn't even need to heat... just massage the bottom with a little pressure and voilá.. =)

One of the hardest things to do! I did the hairdryer method and burned my fingers! Nothing easy about this, I got the lense in by trying different approaches/ entry points for each lense!

A much needed tutorial. Is the same steps for glass lenses and plastic lenses? Can this process be applied to aviators (metal frames)?

No I wouldn’t heat up plastic lenses using this method you could damage them. But the good news here is all original Ray-Ban wayfarer sunglasses have glass lenses

Hi. Ray Ban 2184 One temple on the glasses is higher than the other, how to fix this?

@sean1973x2009

When I purchased my Italian manufactured Ray Ban Wayfarers, my optometrist told me every persons' face is *not* symmetrical. He stated that the temples would be higher or lower, depending... but anyways, a hot-air soldering station would allow heated air to be projected in a very small area to do exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Be careful !

Thanks so much. It worked for me. I dipped them in very hot water for a few minutes, then used the hair dryer. The frame was very hot and I could barely touch it. It was tricky but with some patience it worked.
