Yes, the Ray-Ban RB3686 sunglasses are fully prescription-ready. The full-rim metal frame design accommodates prescription lenses, including single vision, progressive, and polarized prescription options. Our in-house lab can customize these frames with your exact prescription for optimal vision correction.
What is Ray-Ban Chromance lens technology?
Ray-Ban Chromance lenses use a revolutionary pigment that calibrates light to enhance color intensity and visual clarity. They feature polarization to eliminate glare, a six-layer anti-reflective coating to reduce blur and eye strain, and hydrophobic treatment to repel water and fingerprints. All Chromance lenses provide 100% UVA/UVB protection.
What face shapes work best with the Ray-Ban 3686?
The Ray-Ban 3686's square metal frame shape is especially flattering on round and oval face shapes, as the structured angles provide nice contrast to softer facial features. The 57mm lens width and adjustable nose pads also make these sunglasses suitable for square face shapes seeking a modern, sporty look.

The Ray-Ban RB3686 measures 57mm lens width, 19mm bridge width, and 140mm temple length (57-19-140). The frame width is approximately 138-142mm hinge-to-hinge, with a lens height of about 43mm. This sizing provides a narrow to medium fit suitable for most adult face sizes.
Are the Ray-Ban 3686 lenses polarized?
Polarization depends on the specific variant you choose. The Ray-Ban 3686 is available with both polarized and non-polarized lens options.

Ray-Ban 3686 vs. Similar Square Metal Frames
Choosing the right square metal Ray-Ban sunglasses depends on your style preference and performance needs. The Ray-Ban 3686 stands out as a modern, sport-inspired option with advanced lens technology, while alternatives like the 3569 and Square 1971 offer different aesthetic approaches.
Ray-Ban 3686 vs. Ray-Ban 3569
Both the 3686 and Ray-Ban 3569 feature square metal frames with full-rim construction and prescription-ready capability. The key difference lies in the 3686's availability with Chromance lens technology, which enhances color clarity and contrast through advanced polarization and anti-reflective coatings. The 3686 also has a more athletic, '90s-inspired design with slightly more coverage. If you prioritize cutting-edge lens technology and a sporty aesthetic, the 3686 is the better choice. The 3569 offers a similar silhouette at a lower price point for those who don't need Chromance enhancement.
Ray-Ban 3686 vs. Ray-Ban Square 1971
The Ray-Ban Square 1971 represents vintage-inspired square styling, while the 3686 takes a modern, performance-oriented approach. The Square 1971 is lighter and more affordable, making it ideal for everyday casual wear and retro fashion enthusiasts. However, the 3686's stainless steel construction, adjustable nose pads, and Chromance lens options make it superior for active lifestyles, outdoor sports, and situations where enhanced visual clarity matters. Choose the Square 1971 for timeless style; choose the 3686 for performance and modern design.
Why Choose the Ray-Ban 3686? The 3686 offers the best combination of contemporary square styling, lightweight durability, and advanced lens technology in Ray-Ban's metal collection. Its sporty design, Chromance availability, and prescription-ready construction make it ideal for active individuals who refuse to compromise on style or performance.
