WHEN INSTALLING NEW LENSES, YOU NEED TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE. Technique I used successfully: essentially, you use a table as the surface so that you can press your body weight with your hand onto lens so that the lens/frame is sandwiched between your hand and the table. To do this find a corner of a sturdy table that you can put just one half of the frame on (so that the frame arms, when extended fully, point towards the floor). Here, the eye portion that sits in your cheekbone and eyebrow should be against the table. Insert your new lens, as instructed in this video into the frame, so that the only portion remaining to insert is the corner nearest the nose bridge. At this point, place a dish towel in between the table corner and the lens frame (you are using the surface of the table to bc essentially act as a back stop as you press the lens into the frame). Ensure the lens is set in place and put another fold of towel between your hand and the lens. Then apply steady pressure to the lens while trying to hold the frame in place. Should pop in, no issues.
I tried really hard doing as you suggested while avoiding braking the frames, and only ended with very tired thumbs/hands. I have tried different ways, from different angles and nothing, the lenses seem to be permanently fixed to the frames. Is there a reason for that? thank you
Glass lenses are very inflexible and can be hard to get out. You can try getting a bowl of warm, soapy water, soaking the frames for around 30 seconds, and then trying to remove the lenses again, repeating this process a few times. Also, many optical shops will assist with lens installation, often for free. So, if you have an optical shop close to you, you can always try bringing them in. Good luck!
Can this be done for Rayban Rx5121 wayfarers (eyeglass frames)? Also, can you pop the glass lenses back in if you want to go back to the original lenses? Thanks
Yes, it is the same method! You can re-install glass lenses. Because the glass is rigid, you can grab a bowl of hot, soapy water and soak your frames for around 30 seconds, this will make the plastic a bit more malleable and easier to work with while you install your lenses. You can also always take them to a big box optical retailer and they can assist with installation, most of the time for free!
Definitely, soap and hot water will work to make your frames more malleable. If you're still having trouble, we suggest bringing your frames into a local optical shop. Most shops will assist with lens installation, often free of charge.
FuseLenses.com Thanks for the reply. I ordered a pair and they are perfect. They look the exact same as in the video here. Best quality aftermarket lenses I have come across yet!
you drop glass lenses on the ground and they shatter ? i tried 2140 g15 lenses what can they withstand and it seems that you would be really surprised xD
not cool...the first lens shattered but the 2nd one popped out. i got the RAYBAN 2140 - ORIGINAL WAYFARER replacement lenses but they didnt fit in my frames...why do you guys have 2 different 2140 lenses on your website? you have the "2140s" & "original 2140s"? my receipt says original 2140 & i even checked on the rayban website and its called original but your original 2140 lenses didnt fit...super disappointed
There are 2 different versions of the RB2140 (don't ask why RayBan decided to do that). The "Wayfarer" is different from the "Original Wayfarer" in shape and size. There is also multiple sizes for each version (50mm and 54mm). You will want to check your frames temples for the exact version and size as the receipt may be wrong.
Hey! Here is the link to those lenses: www.fuselenses.com/ray-ban/original-wayfarer-50.php Our tinted lenses are on sale currently so those are $20, and our lenses go up to $54
Chipped the hell out of one of the lenses and cracked it through. About afraid to try putting the new ones back in. Edit: Soak them in hot water for several minutes. Makes the frame more flexible, expands the plastic and loosens any gunk around the lenses. The new ones just popped right in.
I have this same model but with the rubber coating on the plastic, how would I be able to remove this rubber coating to just have it on plastic since the coating is aging and becoming sticky.
To remove sticky coatings on frame material - I would try a wet magic eraser on it. Rubbing alcohol might also do the trick but that can damage coatings, especially lens coatings so be cautious.
@@fuse_lenses Wouldn't a magic eraser be too strong for the rubber coating? Alcohol with time tends to damage the coating as you mentioned and I would like to preserve it.
We manufacturer our own brand of lenses to fit in Ray-Ban glasses, our lenses will not be glass. If you have a model we don't carry on our site and live in the US we do offer a custom program, check it out here: www.fuselenses.com/custom-lenses
Got it! Unfortunately, we do not currently have those lenses on file. But, we would be able to help you out with our custom program if you are in the US. Check it out: www.fuselenses.com/custom-lenses
FYI if the lens in the frame is broken before taking out use a cloth so the glass doesn’t go in your finger
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Once you do it, it's a no brainer, thanks, kind of scary to do but totally worked.

Years later youre still helping people.. I watched like 10 videos before I got here and your method was the best. Thanks!

Fucking sik! Thanks for sharing ordering tomorrow!! Will install myself! My lenses busted on the ground, time to upgrade!!!
dude, thank you!
i was able to get them out but i can't get them back in , any advice ? soap maybe ?

@@fuse_lenses thanks for the quick reply , I really appreciate
thanks!
Are these what your Glacier Blue lenses look like? Or is Ice Blue a different color?
I was wondering the same
Glacier is the same as Ice blue. We just changed the name a while back
FuseLenses.com Thanks for the reply. I ordered a pair and they are perfect. They look the exact same as in the video here. Best quality aftermarket lenses I have come across yet!
Just made our day😎
do you shipped in israel?
Yes! International shipping starts at $12.
A lot easier on your frames to warm them slightly...*
bad idea my lenses exploded and u ended up cutting my index finger. one popped out tho
Bummer! That's not usually an issue for people. I hope your finger is ok
+psychobillypunk No, you cut your index finger with your clumsiness.
+Bournefort typo meant to say I
That's what I figured. That sucks that you broke your lenses though!
+Bournefort one came out perfect the other exploted I was wtf
This method worked a LOT better than the method I saw and tried from another vid. Thanks.
Good and to the point explanation, without all the nonsense that makes TH-cam videos so boring long. Keep up the good work, man! 👌
This totally does not work on my glasses. I've cracked one of the lenses trying to push it out. Are they glued on some models?
Oh awesome. When I need to replace the lenses I will definitely buy. Thanks.
you drop glass lenses on the ground and they shatter ? i tried 2140 g15 lenses what can they withstand and it seems that you would be really surprised xD
Easy peasy ! Many thanks :+)
Cheap
Hi there! No, we do not stamp the RayBan logo on our lenses.
What do I do if the Fusion lenses will not go back into the New Wayfarer frames?
not cool...the first lens shattered but the 2nd one popped out. i got the RAYBAN 2140 - ORIGINAL WAYFARER replacement lenses but they didnt fit in my frames...why do you guys have 2 different 2140 lenses on your website? you have the "2140s" & "original 2140s"? my receipt says original 2140 & i even checked on the rayban website and its called original but your original 2140 lenses didnt fit...super disappointed

can you put transition lense
Yes! We do have photochromic, or transistion, lenses available on our site. FuseLenses.com
I need to buy some ice blue lenses for my RayBans 2140 901/58 50*22, where do I get them from and price please. Thank you.
Hey! Here is the link to those lenses: www.fuselenses.com/ray-ban/original-wayfarer-50.php

Thanks because I have the hardest time getting them out. When you said they are glass I immediately knew I’d have to apply a lot of pressure.
Warm soapy water helps! If you soak them for about 30 seconds, it can make the frames more malleable and the lenses a little easier to get out.
Also 58MM size
Do you possibly have a link to the lenses you installed? Thanks.
We are currently out of our glacier polarized lenses, but if you tell me what size frame you have I can send you the non polarized link
Man, you the best. God bless!
thank you 👌
Super helpful thank you!

Nice and easy pop.
Do they sell original lens replacements? With the engraving in the corner?
We do not. We only sell our own brand of polycarbonate replacement lenses.
I have this same model but with the rubber coating on the plastic, how would I be able to remove this rubber coating to just have it on plastic since the coating is aging and becoming sticky.

Do the fuse replacement Mende come with the Ray ban logo on them?
Dylan Cooper no logo, sorry!
rb2132 original lens glass of polycabonate?
Hi, our lenses are not original Ray-Ban lenses and are not glass. We manufacture our own brand of replacement lenses.
can i do the same for the 4181 ray ban lenses?
Yep. It's the exact same method for the RB4181.
Thank you! This video helped me out :)
Glad we could help!
Very informative from Vince Vaughn Lookalike ;) THANKS!
