Your 3-step guide to identifying your sunglass model

Finding your sunglasses model number is easier than you think. Follow our expert-designed guide to quickly locate the crucial details on your frames.

Step 01

Identify your brand or model name

Start by looking for a brand name or logo on the frame. Some sunglasses also have a model name, usually printed on the inside of the temple arm. For example, Ray-Ban is the brand and Wayfarer is the model.

Step 02

Identify your model number

Most manufacturers print the model number on the inside of the temple (arm) or the bridge. It often starts with letters (like 'RB' for Ray-Ban or 'OO' for Oakley) followed by a series of numbers.

Step 03

Locate the lens width

The string of numbers often includes the lens width, bridge width and temple length. For example, '54□16 140' means a 54 mm lens, a 16 mm bridge and a 140 mm temple. The lens width, the first number, is the one that matters for a replacement. Brands such as Persol, Prada and Ray-Ban often use the same model number for several different sizes.
