The Ray-Ban Round Gaze RB3947V eyeglasses bring a fresh, contemporary take on the classic round frame. This semi-rimless design features a metal rim along the top half of the lens with the bottom secured by a nylon wire—a construction that keeps the look clean and lightweight while maintaining the durability Ray-Ban is known for.
Semi-Rimless Metal Construction
Looking at the frame, you'll notice the gold-toned metal rim gracefully curves around the top of each round lens, while the lower half remains open and airy. The slender temples extend straight back with subtle Ray-Ban branding etched along the side. The bridge sits between the lenses with integrated nose pads that adjust to fit your face comfortably. This semi-rimless construction delivers two real benefits: the frames weigh less than full-rim equivalents, and they give you an unobstructed lower field of vision—helpful when you're reading or looking down at your phone.
Prescription-Ready for Your Vision Needs
These frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The round lens shape and semi-rimless design work well with most prescriptions, though your optician can guide you on lens material if you have a stronger prescription. Available in three sizes—48mm, 51mm, and 53mm lens width—with a consistent 22mm bridge. The round shape flatters square and heart-shaped faces by softening angular features, and the adjustable nose pads let you dial in the fit so the frames sit exactly where you need them.
The RB3947V comes in several finishes including gold, silver, bronze-copper, and black, so you can match your style. Stainless steel construction means these frames can handle daily wear without feeling heavy on your face. A versatile, understated pair that works equally well in the office or on the weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Ray-Ban 3947V eyeglasses compatible with progressive or bifocal lenses?
Yes, the Ray-Ban Round Gaze 3947V frames are fully compatible with progressive and bifocal lenses. The semi-rimless design accommodates most prescription types, including single-vision, lined bifocals, and no-line progressives. The round lens shape provides adequate vertical space for multifocal prescriptions, and the adjustable nose pads help position the bifocal segment correctly for reading.
What face shapes work best with the Ray-Ban 3947V round frames?
The Ray-Ban 3947V round frames work particularly well for square and heart-shaped faces, as the curved lines soften angular features. The round shape also complements oval faces. If you have a round face, you may prefer more angular frames for contrast, though the semi-rimless design keeps the look lighter than full-rim round frames.
What's the difference between semi-rimless and full-rim eyeglasses?
Semi-rimless frames like the 3947V have a metal rim on the top half of the lens, with the bottom secured by a nylon wire or rimless support. This makes them lighter and less obstructive than full-rim frames, which completely enclose the lens. Semi-rimless designs offer a cleaner, more minimalist look while still providing good durability and lens security.
How do I choose the right size for the Ray-Ban 3947V?
The 3947V comes in three lens widths: 48mm (smaller fit), 51mm (medium), and 53mm (larger). All sizes have a 22mm bridge width. Check your current glasses for measurements printed on the inside of the temple—they're usually formatted as lens-bridge-temple (e.g., 51-22-145). If your current frames are 49-51mm lens width, start with the 51mm size. The adjustable nose pads help fine-tune the fit.
Are the Ray-Ban 3947V frames lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, customers consistently report that the 3947V frames are lightweight and comfortable. The semi-rimless metal construction weighs less than full-rim frames, and the adjustable nose pads distribute weight evenly. Multiple reviews mention the frames don't slip during wear and feel comfortable enough for extended daily use.
What comes included with the Ray-Ban Round Gaze 3947V eyeglasses?
The Ray-Ban 3947V eyeglasses come with a Ray-Ban protective case and cleaning cloth. The frames arrive ready for prescription lenses to be installed by a licensed optician. At Designer Optics, our experienced lab opticians can install your prescription lenses with options including anti-reflective coatings, blue light blocking, and various lens materials.

Ray-Ban Round Gaze 3947V vs. Round Metal 3447V: Semi-Rimless or Full-Rim?
If you're drawn to Ray-Ban's round metal aesthetic, you're likely deciding between the Round Gaze 3947V (semi-rimless) and the Round Metal 3447V (full-rim). Both deliver that classic circular lens shape and metal construction, but the frame design creates a different wearing experience.
The 3947V Round Gaze features a semi-rimless design—metal rim on top, nylon wire on the bottom. This construction shaves weight and gives you a more contemporary, minimalist look. The open lower half reduces visual obstruction and creates an airier feel on your face. Customers note the 3947V feels lighter during all-day wear and offers a less prominent appearance. It starts at $114.88, making it the more affordable option.
The 3447V Round Metal is the full-rim version, with metal encircling the entire lens. This traditional construction provides maximum durability and lens security—the frame holds the lens in a groove all the way around. It's the choice if you prefer a more classic, substantial look or if you're concerned about long-term durability with active use. The full rim does add a bit more weight and visual presence. It starts at $123.90.
Our take: Choose the 3947V Round Gaze if you want a lighter, more modern interpretation of the round metal frame—especially if you appreciate minimalist design. Choose the 3447V Round Metal if you prefer the traditional full-rim look and want maximum frame durability. Both are prescription-ready and work with the same face shapes (square, heart, and oval faces), so it really comes down to your aesthetic preference and how much frame you want on your face.
