The Ray-Ban Caravan Reverse R0102S sunglasses bring a futuristic twist to a 1950s icon. Inspired by the original Caravan that debuted in 1957, this modern reimagining flips convention on its head—literally—with Ray-Ban's first-ever concave lens design. Instead of curving outward like traditional sunglasses, the Reverse lenses curve inward toward your face, creating a distinctive profile that's impossible to miss.
Reverse Lens Technology: Form Meets Function
The concave lens design isn't just about aesthetics. Ray-Ban engineered the inverted lens shape to maintain optical precision across both front and rear surfaces, delivering sharp, accurate vision without distortion. An advanced anti-reflective coating from EssilorLuxottica minimizes reflections and reduces glare, making these sunglasses as functional as they are eye-catching.
The inward curve follows the natural contour of your cheekbones, designed to fit a wide range of face shapes. The square lens shape works particularly well on oval and round faces, while the 58mm lens width and 15mm bridge offer a medium fit suitable for average face sizes. Adjustable nose pads let you fine-tune the fit for all-day comfort.
Sustainable Design, Iconic Style
The Caravan Reverse features a lightweight stainless steel frame with a sleek double bridge—a signature detail that adds structure and visual interest. Available in polished gold, gunmetal, black, and silver finishes, each pairs with carefully selected lens tints including classic G-15 green, gradient brown, mirrored blue, and polarized options.
Ray-Ban incorporated sustainable materials into the Reverse collection. The bio-nylon lenses contain bio-based carbon content from renewable sources, reducing environmental impact without compromising performance. All lenses provide 100% UV protection to shield your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
What to Know Before You Buy
The concave lens design creates a unique look and fit. Because the lenses curve inward, they sit closer to your eyes than standard sunglasses. Some wearers with longer eyelashes may experience "lash crash"—when lashes touch the lenses. If you typically need low-bridge fit sunglasses or find that Aviator-style lenses rest on your cheekbones, the Reverse design may actually solve that problem by following your face's natural curve.
These are sun protection sunglasses and cannot be fitted with prescription lenses due to the inverted lens geometry. The Caravan Reverse comes with a protective case, cleaning cloth, and Ray-Ban's manufacturer warranty. Each pair ships ready to wear with non-prescription lenses that meet the highest optical standards.

Was looking for something a little different and came across the Ray-ban caravan reverse. Received them and they where perfect! Thank you designeroptics.com
Great buy! I highly recommend, fast shipping and great quality glasses and very affordable price. Thanks
As much as I love the aviator style these just look and fit my face so much better. I have a smaller face. I love these.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get prescription lenses in the Ray-Ban Caravan Reverse R0102S?
No, the Caravan Reverse is not available with prescription lenses due to the unique concave lens design. The inverted lens geometry is engineered specifically for non-prescription use. If you need prescription sunglasses, consider the original Ray-Ban Caravan 3136 or New Caravan 3636, both of which are prescription-ready and available at Designer Optics.
What makes the Reverse lens different from regular Ray-Ban sunglasses?
The Reverse lens curves inward (concave) toward your face instead of outward (convex) like traditional sunglasses. This inverted design was created using a proprietary 3D modeling system and follows the natural curve of your cheekbones. The lenses feature advanced anti-reflective coating that reduces glare by up to 70% and are made from bio-nylon with 41% bio-based carbon content for sustainability.
What size is the Ray-Ban Caravan Reverse R0102S?
The Caravan Reverse R0102S has a 58mm lens width, 15mm bridge width, and 140mm temple length, making it a medium-sized frame. The hinge-to-hinge measurement is approximately 131mm, which is ideal for average face sizes. The square lens shape and adjustable nose pads help it fit a variety of face shapes, particularly oval and round faces.
Will my eyelashes touch the lenses on the Caravan Reverse?
Because the concave lenses curve inward toward your face, some wearers with longer eyelashes may experience "lash crash" where lashes touch the lenses. This is more common with the Reverse collection than traditional sunglasses. However, many people find the fit comfortable, and the design actually works well for those who typically need low-bridge fit frames or find standard Aviators rest on their cheekbones.
Are the Ray-Ban Caravan Reverse lenses polarized?
Most Caravan Reverse colorways feature non-polarized lenses with anti-reflective coating. However, select variants like the 001/83 (Arista Gold with Polar Dark Brown) and 001/LB (Arista Gold with Polar Pink) do offer polarized lenses. Check the specific color code when ordering to confirm whether your chosen variant includes polarization.
How does the Caravan Reverse compare to the original Caravan 3136?
The Caravan Reverse features inverted concave lenses that curve inward, while the original Caravan 3136 has traditional convex lenses. The Reverse has a more modern, futuristic aesthetic with bio-nylon lenses and advanced anti-glare coating, but it's not available with prescription lenses. The original Caravan 3136 is prescription-ready, lighter weight, and has a more classic, understated look with thinner frame lines.

Ray-Ban Caravan Reverse vs. Original Caravan: Which Should You Choose?
The Ray-Ban Caravan family offers three distinct options, each serving different needs. The Caravan Reverse R0102S represents Ray-Ban's most innovative design, while the original Caravan 3136 and New Caravan 3636 offer prescription capability and classic styling.
Caravan Reverse R0102S: The Future of Caravan
The Reverse is for those who want cutting-edge design and don't need prescription lenses. Its concave lenses create a futuristic aesthetic that turns heads, while the advanced anti-reflective coating reduces glare by up to 70%—significantly better than standard lenses. The bio-nylon lenses with 41% bio-based carbon content make this the most sustainable option in the Caravan lineup.
However, the inverted lens design means it's sun-only. If you need vision correction, this isn't the right choice. Some wearers also report eyelash contact due to the inward-curving lenses, though many find the fit actually improves comfort by following the cheekbone's natural curve.
Original Caravan 3136: Classic Heritage
The Caravan 3136 stays true to the 1957 original with thin metal frames and a lightweight, understated design. It's prescription-ready, making it the practical choice if you need corrective lenses. The traditional convex lens shape means no eyelash issues, and the lower price point ($144-$191) makes it more accessible.
The trade-off? You miss out on the Reverse's advanced anti-glare technology and sustainable materials. The classic design is less distinctive—perfect if you want subtle style, but not ideal if you're looking to make a statement.
New Caravan 3636: Modern Middle Ground
The New Caravan 3636 modernizes the original with thicker frame lines, bold metal construction, and iconic rivet details. It's prescription-ready like the 3136 but has a more contemporary, statement-making aesthetic. The flatter 4-base curve gives it a modern profile that sits closer to your face than the original's 6-base curve.
At $141.40-$292, it's the priciest option and the heaviest. It's best for those who want prescription capability with a bolder look, but it lacks the Reverse's innovative lens technology.
Our Recommendation
Choose the Caravan Reverse R0102S if you have perfect vision or wear contacts and want the most innovative, sustainable, and visually striking option. The concave lenses and anti-glare technology deliver superior performance for sun protection.
Choose the original Caravan 3136 if you need prescription lenses and prefer classic, understated style at a better price point.
Choose the New Caravan 3636 if you need prescription lenses but want a bolder, more modern aesthetic with thicker frames and contemporary details.
