Prescription & Usage

The Ray-Ban RX6494 is an excellent choice for a variety of prescriptions and provides great comfort for all-day use.

• Progressive (Varifocal) Lenses: With a lens height of 41.1 mm to 42 mm, this frame provides ample vertical space to accommodate all types of progressive (multifocal) lenses. The height ensures a smooth progression between the distance, intermediate, and near vision zones.
• High Prescriptions: As a metal frame, it can support high-index (thinner) lenses well. For very strong prescriptions, opt for the thinner lens material (e.g., 1.67 or 1.74 index) to minimize lens thickness and weight, which is particularly noticeable with metal frames.
• Usage: The Pillow/Square shape is a smart, professional design suitable for both men and women. The metal construction and adjustable nosepads allow for a finely tuned fit. This frame is highly recommended for use as all-day eyeglasses, including reading, computer work, and driving, due to its comfortable design and generous lens height.
