With spring right around the corner, I need to replace the lenses in my Ray Bans. They've been dropped and scratched over the last three years, and I now have a ding right in my line of vision.

Anyone have an opinion one way or another on off brand lenses?

Factory Ray Ban replacements are over $100. I'm looking at some IKON lenses for $36...

I never concern myself with such trivial matters. I’ll ask my butler’s butler’s housemaid’s broke arse nephew what he recommends and I’ll get back with you.

For the record, I didn't downvote either of y'all.

But that's what I'm looking for... If they are no good, and I need to "just spend the money", I will.

If the off brand are good bang for the buck, I'd rather do that.

Surely I'm not the first OT'er to ever look into this.

Fuse lenses are what you’re looking for.

Is this the state of the economy that Biden left us?

I bought 3rd party lenses for my Costa's last year off of Amazon and they only lasted a few months. Personally I would just go through Ray Ban for the replacement lenses.

Why not just buy some cheap glasses?

I ordered some replacement lenses from Fuse for some Costas, worked great.

Those are called back ups, and I have a few.

My Ray Bans were a gift, and I like the way they fit and feel. I'd like to keep the frames and just replace the lenses.

To the people that said Fuse, I'll look into those.

I have a old pair of Varnet's that I really liked.

Bought some replacements like that, and they fit perfectly.

I have about 30 pair of sunglasses.
I may have a problem.

ETA: Apex was the company

I replaced my Ray Ban lenses with Fuse lenses after a screw fell out of one of the arms and the lens cracked when it hit the ground.

I never realized that the original Ray Ban lenses were glass lenses until I replaced them with Fuse lenses. It made a HUGE difference in the weight of the glasses.

The lenses have been great, and I don't mind the weight difference, but it's something to be aware of

I’ve used Tajima Direct. They do any make/model of sunglasses and honestly, I find their lenses superior to a lot of the major brands as far as clarity, polarization, and scratch resistance etc.
