The Ray-Ban Mega Wayfarer 0840V eyeglasses take one of the most recognizable frame designs in history and give it a contemporary, oversized update. Introduced in 2022 as part of Ray-Ban’s ongoing Wayfarer evolution, the Mega Wayfarer builds on the legacy of the original 1952 design—the first plastic-framed sunglasses that revolutionized eyewear—with bolder proportions and modern details that demand attention.
What sets the 0840V apart is its substantial presence. The full-rim square frame features noticeably thicker temples than the Original or New Wayfarer, creating a more pronounced silhouette that works especially well if you want frames that make a statement. Two silver accent details replace the traditional rivets on the frame front, adding a subtle modern touch to the iconic horn-rimmed shape. Available in five distinct colorways—from classic black and rich striped havana to transparent brown, green, and blue options—the Mega Wayfarer lets you choose how bold you want to go.
The frames are constructed from durable propionate, a cellulose-based plastic that’s lighter and more flexible than standard acetate. Propionate resists deformation, holds its shape over time, and is hypoallergenic—important if you wear your glasses all day. The material also allows for the smooth, polished finish Ray-Ban is known for.
Measuring 51mm (lens width) × 21mm (bridge) × 145mm (temple length), the 0840V offers a medium-to-large fit that flatters most face shapes, particularly oval, round, and heart-shaped faces. The square geometry adds structure and balance to softer features. These frames are prescription-ready and can accommodate single-vision, bifocal, or progressive lenses, making them a versatile choice whether you need them for everyday wear, computer work, or reading.
The Mega Wayfarer sits comfortably in the Wayfarer family tree: more substantial than the New Wayfarer (RB5184) but without the pronounced pantoscopic tilt of the 1952 Original. If you love the Wayfarer look but want something that really stands out, the Mega Wayfarer delivers that presence without losing the DNA that’s made this design a cultural icon for over 70 years.
