Before you wear them
- Never look directly at the sun through any sunglasses, including during an eclipse.
- Polarised lenses can make phone screens, car displays and some dashboard readouts hard to see at certain angles.
- These are fashion sunglasses, not safety or sports eyewear, and are not impact-rated protection.
- See an optometrist if you need prescription lenses or have an eye condition.

PowderedPurple assessment
Ray-Ban RB2240F Wayfarer, colourway 1442/48 is identified from the SmartBuyGlasses South Africa listing. The retailer describes the frame as wayfarer full rim. Listed details: Acetate frame material, grey on black frame colour. The retailer lists the audience as unisex; this label does not confirm fit. Measurements listed: lens width 52 mm, bridge width 22 mm, temple length 150 mm. Compare them with a frame that fits you; they do not measure your face. Lens details recorded by the retailer: black lens colour, crystal lens material, listed as polarised, UV category 3. Verify the exact lens option and UV statement before purchase; tint and polarisation do not establish UV protection. These are listing facts, not hands-on findings: they do not establish fit, comfort, durability or optical performance. PowderedPurple has not worn or adjusted this frame. Check the exact variant, current availability, prescription options and return terms with the retailer.
Decision checks
- Compare the listed 52-22-150 mm measurements with a pair you already wear comfortably; the listing does not establish how this frame will fit.
- Polarisation is listed; consider screen readability in your usual settings, and confirm the exact lens option with the retailer.
- The retailer lists filter category 3; PowderedPurple has not independently measured it, so confirm the selected lens carries that category.
