"The quality of Ray Ban sunglasses (at least a portion of them) has been worse than some of the cheaper glasses around. The two Ray Ban sunglasses I bought had issues within 2 years. The lenses changed color and the shade (paint) on the lens chipped. What is worse, the company refuses to the replacement. They are asking $12 (+postage) for inspection. The repair is extra. My experience is pretty much on par with some of the Amazon reviews and the consumer affairs link below. I highly suggest thinking of twice before buying a Ray Ban. Especially with this (lack of) customer support!
