The Ray-Ban Wayfarer Ease 4340V eyeglasses bring the legendary Wayfarer silhouette into everyday prescription wear. Since the original Wayfarer debuted in 1952, it’s been worn by everyone from James Dean to modern style icons—and the Ease keeps that heritage alive while fixing the one thing some wearers found challenging: the forward lens tilt.
The 4340V preserves the bold, square Wayfarer profile that’s defined cool for seven decades. You get the same trapezoidal lens shape and thick-rimmed aesthetic, but Ray-Ban eliminated the pantoscopic tilt found on the original RB2140. The original tilt angled lenses downward to reduce glare from overhead light, but many prescription wearers found it created distortion at the top of their field of vision and made the frames slide forward. The 4340V sits flatter on your face—the lenses align closer to vertical, which reduces that optical distortion and keeps the frames stable on your nose for all-day prescription wear. The full-rim acetate construction provides maximum lens stability, while integrated flex hinges adapt to different head widths without pinching.
These frames measure 50-22-150mm with a total width of approximately 133mm, making them a versatile fit for most adults. The square shape works particularly well for round and oval faces, adding structure and definition.
The Wayfarer Ease 4340V is fully prescription-ready and available in an impressive range of colors: classic black and Havana tortoiseshell, transparent options in blue, grey, brown, and violet, plus tortoiseshell stripe patterns. The frames ship with demo lenses and come with a Ray-Ban case and cleaning cloth. They’re compatible with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses, and work with anti-reflective coatings, blue-light filtering, and photochromic options.
If you’ve always loved the Wayfarer look but found the original’s tilt uncomfortable, or if you’re simply looking for a prescription frame with genuine heritage and modern wearability, the 4340V delivers both.
