Nose pads on glasses can help the frame fit comfortably on your nose and prevent rubbing on the bridge of your nose. However, they can also be a cause of nose pain if the pads are too small and dig into your nostrils or if the frames are made of a material that irritates your skin. If your nose pad is uncomfortable, try loosening it to see if this helps or trying another type of nose pad. If the discomfort continues, you may need to change your frame or material.
Silicone (also known as polyurethane) nose pads are a popular choice for many glasses styles, including those from Ray Ban. These nose pads are soft and flexible and offer a wide range of sizes to fit different nose shapes. They are available in a variety of colors and styles, from clear to frosted. They are also easy to clean, allowing you to maintain the appearance of your glasses and keep them looking new.
If your Ray Ban sunglasses have a clip on nose pad, it’s easy to replace them. The metal clip that holds the nose pad on your glasses frame simply clips onto a receiver on the stem of the nose pad. To install a new one, first remove the existing nose pad by pulling it off. Then insert the new nose pad by pushing firmly on the nose pad face while holding the back of the nose pad stem receiver. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to the stem as it can easily bend or break off of the frame.
The original acetate Ray Bans are still in production, but the brand now has a more environmentally friendly alternative called Bio-Acetate. It’s similar to cellulose acetate but made from plant-based materials like cotton, wood pulp and cereal crop by-products. It is also a much more sustainable product as it uses less plastic than the original acetate models.
Matte Rubber
Several of the latest Ray-Ban styles ditch the signature shine and opt for a matte rubber finish. The result is a more subtle look that’s super-comfy and cool. The best part is that they’re also super-affordable.
Push in nose pads mount into a receiver on the nose stem of your glasses frame. They are slightly tapered so once they go into the opening they stay put. You can easily identify them by examining the nose stem for a small opening that the pads fit into. If your glasses have screw in nose pads, they mount to the nose stem with a small screw. They can also be replaced by a slide on nose pad which mounts into a recessed indentation on the bridge area of your glasses. You can get these from most eyeglass stores and they are usually sold in flat sheets containing a large number of removable adhesive ray ban replacement nose pads
