The Ray-Ban Junior RY1642 Eyeglasses bring the iconic Wayfarer look to kids who want to match their parents’ style. These prescription-ready frames feature a pillow shape with full-rim acetate construction in vibrant translucent colors – from bold blues and teals to classic black and playful red-yellow combinations – designed specifically for children ages 8-12.
Inspired by the legendary Ray-Ban Wayfarer (first introduced in 1952 and worn by everyone from James Dean to modern style icons), the RY1642 scales down that classic square-ish silhouette to fit smaller faces. The pillow frame shape offers a softer, rounder take on the traditional Wayfarer geometry, sitting comfortably on developing features without the sharp angles of adult frames. Available in both 46mm and 48mm eye sizes, these frames accommodate growing kids through elementary and middle school years.
The bi-layered acetate frame delivers the durability parents need and the lightweight comfort kids demand. Acetate is hypoallergenic, flexible enough to handle daily wear, and comes in the kind of bright, translucent finishes that make wearing glasses fun rather than a chore. The single bridge design distributes weight evenly, and the full-rim construction means these frames can handle stronger prescriptions without lens pop-out issues.
These frames ship with demo lenses and are ready for your optician to fit with your child’s prescription lenses – single vision, progressive, or with protective coatings like blue light blocking or photochromic options. The Ray-Ban signature logo sits on each temple, giving kids that authentic Ray-Ban look they recognize from the adult collection.
Parents appreciate that Ray-Ban Junior frames are designed to stand up to active lifestyles – tossed in backpacks, dropped on playgrounds, and worn from morning classes to after-school sports. The acetate construction flexes rather than snaps, and the regular hinges are easy for opticians to adjust as your child grows. Each pair includes a Ray-Ban cleaning cloth and protective case.
