- How does the RB1971 compare with the Ray-Ban Aviator?
- The RB1971 uses a squared lens instead of the Aviator's teardrop shape. Both are thin full-rim metal frames, so the fit and weight feel similar. The Square 1971 reads as more angular and modern.
- Is the RB1971 good for round faces?
- The square lens shape adds angles that balance a rounder face. The thin metal frame keeps it from looking heavy. Try them on if you can, since the lens is fairly large.
- Are the lenses polarized?
- Ray-Ban offers the RB1971 with both standard and polarized lenses. Check the lens marking on the specific pair before buying if polarization matters to you.
- Can I put prescription lenses in the RB1971?
- The full-rim metal frame can take prescription lenses through Ray-Ban or an optician. The thin rim limits how thick the lenses can be, so high prescriptions may not fit well.
- What comes in the box?
- Ray-Ban typically ships the RB1971 with a case and a cleaning cloth. The exact case style varies by model and retailer.
- Does the metal frame bend easily?
- The frame is thin and light, so it can bend if sat on or dropped. It can usually be adjusted back by an optician, but treat it more gently than a thick acetate frame.
