Since 1937, Ray-Ban has explored the unknown to create eyewear that fuses timeless design with cutting-edge technology. Today, that thirst for innovation continues with the launch of Ray-Ban CHANGE, a light-responsive frame, powered by Transitions. Ray-Ban CHANGE offers a dynamic shift in style depending on the lighting conditions. The frames adjust their color tone when exposed to UV light, creating a unique look that changes as you move between indoor and outdoor environments.

Created to evolve with you, Ray-Ban CHANGE offers a revolutionary take on the Original Wayfarer and its contemporary cousin, the Wayfarer Oval, available in sun and optical styles with a host of uniquely patterned pigments.

“Ray-Ban continues to break boundaries and set new trends, keeping innovation at the forefront of design. Tapping into the power of Transitions and its technology, birthed a new way to experience eyewear through light-responsive frames known as Ray-Ban Change,” said Federico Buffa, Chief Marketing Officer, EssilorLuxottica. “We took the leader in lenses, Transitions, and the leader in frames, Ray-Ban, to unify in one dynamic product, giving consumers the opportunity to make their functional eyewear fashionable.”

Combining the traditional handcrafting of cellulose acetate with this advanced innovation, Ray-Ban CHANGE is designed to sync with the light. The unique colors and patterns of the frame are created using Transitions photochromic dyes, which rapidly activate when exposed to UV light.

The addition of Transitions pigments renders each pair with a unique character, meaning every pattern is one-of-a-kind. As the light gets stronger, so does the pigment. The frame activates within seconds in sunlight and fades back within minutes indoors.

The lenses are available in eight exclusive colors. All colors have been optimized to be true to tone at all stages offering vibrant tints in any light. While being fully clear indoors, and beautifully colored outdoors, CHANGE frames provides endless possibilities of pairing to complement any look.  A product enabling consumers to showcase the versatility of their personality, offering a magical appearance that adapts to the nuances of our lives and the diversity of our styles, at every moment.
