The Ray-Ban RB5279 eyeglasses bring modern sophistication to an everyday essential. Part of Ray-Ban's Highstreet collection, these square acetate frames deliver the brand's signature quality in a versatile, contemporary silhouette that works from the office to the weekend.
Classic Square Design for Everyday Wear
The RB5279 features a full-rim square frame shape that flatters round and oval face shapes by adding definition and balance. Available in classic black, rich havana tortoiseshell, and two-tone combinations with translucent green or grey accents, these frames let you express your personal style. The iconic white Ray-Ban logo on each temple adds an understated mark of authenticity.
Built from durable acetate, the RB5279 is both lightweight and strong. The full-rim construction provides excellent lens retention and durability, while flexible hinges offer a comfortable fit that adapts to different head sizes and reduces pressure on the temples.
Prescription-Ready & Versatile Sizing
These frames are fully prescription-ready and available in two lens widths: 53mm for smaller to medium faces, and 55mm for medium to larger faces. The 18mm bridge and 145mm temples provide a balanced, secure fit. Whether you need single vision, progressive, or computer lenses, the RB5279's full-rim design accommodates a wide range of prescriptions and lens treatments including anti-reflective coatings and blue light filtering.
The RB5279 combines quality acetate construction, thoughtful design, and Ray-Ban's decades of optical expertise in a versatile square frame.

Ordered 3 pairs and all are perfect. Thank you!
Came in with everything I had ordered.
I broke my current frames and ordered the new ones from them. Communication was unbelievable. They let me know when they receive the order when it shipped tracking everything. They were half the price of what Lens Crafter wanted to charge me for the exact frames. Frames were brand new excellent condition and fast service. I will definitely buy more frames from them.
Price was great and the frames were authentic and exactly as expected. The prescription lenses from my old pair was able to be transferred to the new frames without a hitch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Ray-Ban 5279 eyeglasses suitable for prescription lenses?
Yes, the Ray-Ban RB5279 frames are fully prescription-ready. The full-rim acetate construction accommodates single vision, progressive, bifocal, and computer lenses. You can add various lens treatments including anti-reflective coatings, blue light filtering, and photochromic (Transitions) lenses. The frames work well with most prescription strengths.
What face shapes do Ray-Ban 5279 frames suit best?
The Ray-Ban RB5279 features a square frame shape that works best for round or oval face shapes. The angular lines help add definition and balance to softer facial features. The frames are available in two sizes (53mm and 55mm lens width) to accommodate different face widths, with the 55mm option particularly well-suited for broader faces.
Do Ray-Ban 5279 eyeglasses have spring hinges?
Yes, the Ray-Ban RB5279 eyeglasses feature spring-loaded flex hinges that provide a comfortable, adaptive fit. The spring hinges allow the temples to flex outward slightly, accommodating different head sizes and reducing pressure points. This feature enhances durability and all-day comfort, making them ideal for extended wear.
How much do Ray-Ban RB5279 frames weigh?
The Ray-Ban RB5279 frames are lightweight acetate construction, typically weighing around 25-30 grams depending on size and color variant. Multiple customer reviews specifically mention the lightweight feel and all-day comfort, with wearers noting they often forget they're wearing them. The acetate material provides durability without adding unnecessary weight.
What sizes are available for the Ray-Ban 5279?
The Ray-Ban RB5279 is available in three lens widths: 53mm, 55mm, and 57mm. All sizes feature an 18mm bridge width and 145mm temple length. The 53mm works well for small to medium faces, the 55mm suits medium to large faces, and the 57mm is ideal for wider faces. The lens height is approximately 37mm across all sizes.
Are Ray-Ban 5279 frames unisex?
Yes, the Ray-Ban RB5279 is designed as a unisex frame suitable for both men and women. The square shape and range of sizes (53mm-57mm) make it versatile enough to fit different face shapes and sizes. The classic design and multiple color options—from bold black to subtle tortoiseshell—appeal to a wide range of style preferences regardless of gender.

Ray-Ban 5279 vs Clubmaster 5154 vs 5362: Which Frame Is Right for You?
Choosing between Ray-Ban prescription frames often comes down to style preference and face shape. Here's how the RB5279 compares to two popular alternatives in our collection.
RB5279 vs Clubmaster 5154: Modern Square vs Retro Browline
The RB5279 and Clubmaster 5154 represent two distinct Ray-Ban aesthetics. The RB5279 offers a contemporary full-rim square design that works equally well in professional and casual settings. Its acetate construction and spring hinges provide all-day comfort at a more accessible price point ($111-$222).
The Clubmaster 5154, by contrast, delivers Ray-Ban's iconic retro browline style with a metal upper rim and acetate lower frame. This semi-rimless design is lighter but comes at a premium ($132-$280) and works best for those seeking a distinctive vintage look. The Clubmaster suits square and rectangular faces, while the RB5279's square shape flatters round and oval faces.
Choose the RB5279 if: You want a versatile, modern frame that transitions seamlessly from work to weekend, prefer full-rim durability for stronger prescriptions, or need a more budget-friendly option.
Choose the Clubmaster 5154 if: You love retro style, have a square or rectangular face shape, prefer a lighter semi-rimless design, and want a more distinctive statement frame.
RB5279 vs RB5362: Comparing Square Acetate Frames
Both the RB5279 and RB5362 are modern square acetate frames in similar price ranges. The RB5279 has a longer track record with extensive customer reviews praising its comfort, spring hinges, and versatile sizing. It's available in more color options and has proven durability over years in the market.
The RB5362 offers a fresh alternative design within the same category, though with less customer feedback and potentially different fit characteristics. For most shoppers, the RB5279's established reputation and proven comfort make it the safer choice.
