How to Identify Your Sunglass Model
How to Identify Your Sunglass Model
When searching for your sunglass model on our site, providing fewer details often works better. Start with the four to eight characters of the model number or the frame name. We simplify the process by excluding the additional numbers that manufacturers sometimes include.
For instance, if you have a Ray-Ban frame, check the inside of the arm for an RB#### code. Enter those numbers into our lens search tool, and you'll see relevant models and photos to help you identify your frame.
It’s crucial to double-check the lens width to ensure a perfect fit. Look for the two numbers before the small square on your sunglass arm or measure your lenses following our guide to confirm the size.
Keep in mind that some brands, like Persol, Prada, and Ray-Ban, may use the same model number for different frame sizes. For example, Ray-Ban Aviator Large Metal frames (model RB3025LM) are available in three sizes: 55mm, 58mm, and 62mm. Verifying your lens width ensures you get the perfect replacement lenses for your frames.
How to Install Replacement Lenses for Various Frame Types
How to Install Replacement Lenses for Various Frame Types
Full Frame Lenses
To remove the original lenses from a full-frame design, identify the thinnest or straightest part of the frame as your starting point. Push the lens from the concave side while gently pulling the frame away to release the lens. Warming the frame slightly can make the plastic more pliable and easier to work with. For installation, start by aligning the most curved section of the lens (typically near the arm) into the frame. Work around the frame by securing the arm side first, followed by the top and then the nose side. The lens should snap into place with a gentle click.
Metal Full Frame Lenses
For metal frames, locate the small screw, usually hidden near the arm hinge. Loosen this screw slightly to create space for the lens but avoid removing it completely. Insert the replacement lens into the frame, ensuring proper alignment, and then retighten the screw to secure it in place.
Half-Rim Lenses
To remove lenses from half-rim frames, hold the lens firmly and push it toward the arm. Simultaneously lift the nose bridge area, and the lens will unclip easily. For installation, align the thin edge of the lens into the arm-side groove. Then, press the lens upward into the frame until it clicks securely into position.

How to Clean and Care for Your Seek Optics Lenses
How to Clean and Care for Your Seek Optics Lenses
Proper care ensures your Seek Optics lenses maintain their clarity and durability. Follow these simple steps to keep them looking and performing their best.
Cleaning
- Daily Wipe-Down: Clean your lenses every time you wear them. Start by gently blowing off any dust or dirt to prevent scratches.
- Use Microfiber Cloth: Always use the microfiber cloth or pouch provided with your lenses, or a soft, clean cloth. Avoid paper towels or tissues, which can act like sandpaper and damage the lens surface.
- Warm Soapy Water: For tough smudges, wash your lenses with warm, soapy water. A mild dish soap (without added moisturizers) works perfectly. Specialist lens sprays are also effective but not necessary.
Storage
- Store Safely: Keep your sunglasses in their protective case or pouch when not in use. While lenses are scratch-resistant, they’re not scratch-proof. Proper storage minimizes the risk of damage.
- Face-Up Placement: When putting your sunglasses down, always place them upside down with the arms open to avoid scratches on the lenses.
- Clean Before Storing: Before storing your sunglasses for extended periods, such as during the winter, clean both the lenses and frames to prevent any buildup or degradation.
Additional Tips
- Check Screws: Use an optical screwdriver to ensure that screws are tight but not over-tightened. The arms should open smoothly without unfolding on their own.
- Protect from Heat and Sunlight: Although designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high heat can damage both the lenses and frames. This is especially true if they’re dirty or wet, so clean them regularly.
- Replace Lenses: If your lenses become scratched or worn, Seek Optics offers high-quality replacement lenses to give your sunglasses a fresh, new look without needing to replace the frames.
By following these tips, you’ll enjoy long-lasting performance and crystal-clear vision with your Seek Optics lenses.
Why Choose Polarized Lenses from Seek Optics?
Why Choose Polarized Lenses from Seek Optics?
Polarized lenses are among the highest quality options in eyewear, offering a thin, specialized layer that eliminates glare by blocking reflected light. This makes everyday activities clearer and more comfortable. Seek Optics’ polarized lenses are designed to reduce eyestrain, irritation, fatigue, redness, and even headaches caused by harsh lighting conditions.
Key Benefits of Seek Optics Polarized Lenses
- Enhanced Safety: Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces like car hoods and wet roads, making driving on sunny days safer. By improving visual clarity, they help you focus and react faster, ensuring a safer experience.
- Reduced Eyestrain: Glare causes squinting, which can lead to tired, red, or irritated eyes, as well as headaches. Seek Optics polarized lenses minimize glare, helping your eyes stay relaxed and comfortable throughout the day.
- Perfect for Water Activities: Polarized lenses are ideal for water sports and activities. They cut through surface reflections, allowing you to see beneath the water more clearly, whether you're fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying the view.
- Sharper Vision: Users of Seek Optics polarized replacement lenses often report enhanced color perception and crisper image quality. These lenses help you see with clarity in a variety of environments, making them perfect for both outdoor adventures and everyday wear.
How to Test Polarized Lenses
Testing for polarization is simple. Hold the lenses in front of a reflective surface, such as water or a car windshield. Rotate them slightly—polarized lenses will reduce the reflection or glare significantly, showing their effectiveness in action.
Invest in Seek Optics polarized lenses to experience unmatched comfort, clarity, and protection for your eyes in any environment.
