The Ray-Ban Elliot RB2197 sunglasses are square frames with slim acetate construction and softly rounded angles. They're unisex and work well if you want something clean-lined without a lot of visual weight.
The full-rim acetate frame comes in 52mm or 50mm lens widths with a 19mm bridge and 145mm temples. The lightweight acetate stays comfortable through long wear days. The proportions suit oval, round, and heart-shaped faces particularly well.
You can get them in classic havana tortoise, polished black, or a distinctive yellow-blue havana pattern. Each color pairs with different lens tints—gradient blue-grey, solid brown, classic green, and polarized options are available.
Prescription-Ready Versatility
These frames accept prescription lenses, including single vision, progressive, and polarized prescriptions. Ray-Ban lenses provide 100% UV protection, and polarized versions cut reflected glare for driving and water activities. The squared lens shape and adequate depth accommodate most prescription ranges without messing with the frame's profile.
Clean Geometry, Ray-Ban Quality
The Elliot gives you an all-acetate alternative to metal styles like the Hexagonal. It's straightforward geometry—no extra details, just clean lines. Signature Ray-Ban logos sit subtly on the temples, and each pair ships with a protective case and cleaning cloth.

For Ray-Bans that retail at $230.00 to be made in China are a rip off.
I love them
But was disappointed how long it took to get them!
Definitely worth the buy and fast shipping. Overall great experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Ray-Ban Elliot 2197 sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Ray-Ban Elliot RB2197 is fully prescription-ready and accepts single vision, progressive, and polarized prescription lenses. The squared lens shape and frame depth accommodate most prescription ranges, and you can add your prescription during checkout or send it after purchase.
What face shapes do Ray-Ban Elliot sunglasses fit best?
The Elliot RB2197 features a narrow to average fit with a high bridge, making it ideal for smaller faces and narrow face shapes. The squared silhouette with soft angles is especially flattering on oval, round, heart, and square face shapes, and the slim acetate lines won't overwhelm petite features.
What is the difference between Ray-Ban Elliot 2197 and Leonard 2193?
Both the Elliot RB2197 and Leonard RB2193 belong to the same design family and share the contemporary squared silhouette with slim acetate construction. The Elliot is slightly smaller with a 52mm lens width and narrower fit, while the Leonard offers a 53mm lens width for a slightly larger coverage. Both are prescription-ready with similar styling.
Do Ray-Ban Elliot sunglasses come with polarized lenses?
The Ray-Ban Elliot RB2197 is available with both standard and polarized lens options. Polarized versions eliminate glare, increase clarity, and enhance contrast, making them excellent for driving, water activities, and bright outdoor conditions. Check the specific model code to confirm polarization (codes ending in /48 typically indicate polarized lenses).
What are the measurements of Ray-Ban Elliot RB2197?
The Ray-Ban Elliot RB2197 comes in two sizes: 50mm and 52mm lens width, both with a 19mm bridge width and 145mm temple length. The frame features a high bridge fit and measures approximately 126mm total width, designed for narrow to average face sizes with a lens height of approximately 43mm.
What type of UV protection do Ray-Ban Elliot sunglasses provide?
All Ray-Ban Elliot RB2197 sunglasses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection. The crystal glass lenses offer exceptional optical clarity and durability while blocking harmful ultraviolet rays. This protection is built into the lens material itself, not just a coating, ensuring reliable eye protection in all lighting conditions.

Ray-Ban Elliot 2197 vs Leonard 2193 vs Bill 2198
All three models represent Ray-Ban's contemporary approach to square acetate frames, but each serves a slightly different fit and aesthetic preference.
Ray-Ban Elliot RB2197 is the most compact option with its 52mm lens width and narrow fit. The high bridge design and slim acetate lines make it ideal for smaller faces and those who want a refined, understated look. It's the best choice if you have a narrow to average face shape and prefer frames that won't overwhelm your features.
Ray-Ban Leonard RB2193 shares the same design DNA as the Elliot—both belong to the Leonard family—but offers a 53mm lens width for slightly more coverage. If you liked the Elliot's aesthetic but need a touch more frame, the Leonard delivers the same minimalist vibe with broader proportions. It's particularly well-suited for average to medium face widths.
Ray-Ban Bill RB2198 brings a similar square acetate construction but with its own distinct character. While it shares the contemporary minimalist approach, the Bill has different bridge geometry and lens proportions that may fit differently depending on your face shape.
All three are prescription-ready, offer 100% UV protection, and come in multiple lens options including polarized. Choose the Elliot for the most refined, narrow fit; the Leonard for a slightly larger version of the same design; or the Bill for a comparable square frame with its own personality.
