Ray-Ban RX6489 Aviator Pilot Eyeglasses
On orders over Dhs 500
Most of our frames are “one size,” designed to fit a wide range of faces. A few styles come in multiple sizes. Use your current glasses as the best reference, or follow the quick steps below.
1) How to read frame size (on your glasses)
Look inside the temple (arm). You’ll see numbers like: 52□18–140
-
52 = Lens width (mm)
-
18 = Bridge width (mm)
-
140 = Temple length (mm)
Match these to the new frame for the most reliable fit.
2) Quick fit by face width (no glasses handy?)
Use a ruler (millimeters) across your face at the pupils, or try the “credit-card test” (a card is ~54 mm wide).
| Face width | Typical lens width | Typical bridge | Temple length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Narrow | 48–51 mm | 15–18 mm | 135–140 mm |
| Medium | 52–54 mm | 16–19 mm | 140–145 mm |
| Wide | 55–57 mm | 17–21 mm | 145–150 mm |
Tip: Sunglasses often run 1–2 mm larger than optical frames for a comfortable, slightly looser fit.
3) One-size frames—how to choose
-
Compare the listed size to your current frame stamp (e.g., if you wear 52□18–140, look for something close: 51–53 lens, 17–19 bridge, 140–145 temple).
-
If between sizes, pick slightly larger for sunglasses and closer match for optical.
-
Small adjustments (nose pads, temple bend) by an optician can fine-tune the fit.
4) What each number changes
-
Lens width: overall frame width/coverage.
-
Bridge: comfort on the nose; higher bridge = more space.
-
Temple length: behind-ear comfort; longer temples for larger heads or if temples feel tight/short.
5) Common size examples
-
Optical (unisex): 50–54 / 17–19 / 140–145
-
Sunglasses (unisex): 52–56 / 16–20 / 140–150
-
Smaller faces: start at lens width 48–50
-
Larger faces: look at 55–57
6) Still unsure?
-
Match your current frame numbers first.
-
Check our product photos on model notes (if available).
-
You can message us your current size (e.g., 52□18–140) and preferred fit (snug/standard/relaxed)—we’ll suggest options.
Ray-Ban
Aviation optics turned archive
Ray-Ban began in 1937 as aviation eyewear engineered by Bausch & Lomb for US Army Air Corps pilots. Its catalogue is still built on archive shapes rather than seasonal designs — Aviator, Wayfarer, Clubmaster and Round are all in continuous production.

The Ray-Ban RX6489 Aviator is a full-rim pilot eyeglass frame for men and women, with a metal front and metal temples. It comes with demo lenses, so you can add single-vision, progressive, reading or non-prescription lenses when you order. It has an adjustable nosepads fit and often suits square, heart and oblong face shapes. Available in 7 colourways (Arista Gold / Clear, Silver / Clear, Gunmetal / Clear, Black / Clear, 3086, 2945 and 2946) and 2 sizes (55 and 58).
The Aviator outline for prescription, in 55mm and 58mm on a 14mm bridge, 48mm to 50mm deep. Metal front and arms, adjustable pads, Base 4, 140mm arms throughout. Gold, silver, gunmetal and black. The depth is the useful part: a 48mm lens leaves room for a progressive corridor that a shallower rectangle does not.

Who makes Ray-Ban eyewear?
Ray-Ban is owned and manufactured by EssilorLuxottica, which acquired the brand from Bausch & Lomb in 1999. It is a house brand rather than a licensed one, so frames are designed and produced in-house.
Which Ray-Ban model should I start with?
The three originals cover most faces. Aviator is a metal pilot with adjustable pads, so it fits a wide range of nose bridges. Wayfarer is a flat-top acetate that suits rounder faces. Clubmaster is a browline that adds a horizontal line across the brow.
Are Ray-Ban frames at OptiVision authentic?
Yes. Every Ray-Ban frame we sell is sourced through authorised supply and arrives with its case, cloth and manufacturer documentation. All frames carry a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Can Ray-Ban sunglasses be made with prescription lenses?
Most Ray-Ban sun models can be glazed to prescription, and Ray-Ban also produces a dedicated optical range. Wrapped and strongly curved frames have limits on the prescription range they can take — our opticians will confirm before ordering.
What is the difference between Ray-Ban and Ray-Ban Meta?
Ray-Ban Meta is a separate smart-eyewear line built with Meta, launched in 2023 on the Wayfarer, Headliner and Skyler shapes. The frames and lenses are Ray-Ban; the camera, audio and assistant software are Meta's.
Where are Ray-Ban frames made?
Ray-Ban production sits within EssilorLuxottica's own manufacturing. Country of manufacture is printed inside the temple of each frame and varies by model.
