Collection: Ray-Ban Extra Small Glasses

Ray-Ban extra small glasses solve one of the most common eyewear frustrations: frames that are simply too big. This collection gathers the smallest optical frames Ray-Ban makes — including junior and youth fits alongside petite adult styles — so anyone with a narrow face or a child who needs their first proper pair can find frames that actually fit. There are 36 genuine, authorised-stockist styles here priced from around £50 to £125, all 100% authentic and ready to be glazed with your prescription at Ardor Eyewear.

Who Ray-Ban extra small glasses are made for

Extra small typically means a lens width of roughly 44–48mm with a narrow bridge and shorter temples. That makes Ray-Ban extra small glasses ideal for children and teens, for adults with petite or narrow faces, and for anyone who has always found standard frames sliding down their nose or sitting too wide at the temples. Because the eyes should sit centrally in the lenses for both comfort and correct optical alignment, choosing the right small size genuinely improves how your glasses perform, not just how they look.

The edit blends Ray-Ban's junior line with adult icons scaled down. You will find kids' styles such as the RY9095V Junior Thalia, alongside adult codes like the RX4378V, RX5397 Elliot, RX5395 Thalia, RX5428 and RX5387 in their smallest sizes. That means a child can wear the same design heritage as an adult, and petite grown-ups get true icons — from the Wayfarer-inspired to round metals — in a size that fits.

Junior and youth fits

Ray-Ban Junior (the "RY" codes) is engineered for younger wearers, with more flexible, durable builds and dimensions suited to smaller faces. If you are buying a first pair of prescription glasses for a child, these frames offer grown-up styling with a fit and resilience made for everyday school life.

How to choose the right extra small fit

Getting the size right is the whole point of this collection, so focus on the numbers printed inside the temple arm — lens width, bridge width and temple length (for example 46-16-130):

• Lens width is the biggest factor. For extra small, look for roughly 44–48mm.
• Bridge width matters for children and lower nose bridges; adjustable nose pads on metal frames help fine-tune the fit.
• Temple length should let the arms sit comfortably over the ears without pinching.

If a current pair fits well, matching those three numbers is the quickest route to comfort. Our team is happy to advise if you are unsure.

Materials: acetate and metal

Ray-Ban extra small glasses come in both classic acetate and lightweight metal. Acetate frames, like the Wayfarer-style shapes, offer bold colour and a sturdy feel that stands up to daily wear — a plus for children. Metal frames, such as round-metal styles, are light and slim with adjustable nose pads, which many petite adults prefer. Both can be glazed with the full range of prescription lenses.

Prescription lenses fitted at Ardor

Every frame here is optical (the "V" and standard "RX" codes denote Vista/optical fronts) and ready for your prescription. We can glaze:

• Single vision for distance or reading.
• Varifocal and bifocal for multiple distances.
• Blue-light filtering for screen-heavy days and homework.
• Photochromic lenses that darken outdoors.

Prescription orders are typically glazed in around 7–10 working days, with free UK delivery. You can also order the frame with clear demo lenses and glaze it at your own optician.

Caring for small frames

Small frames — especially children's — benefit from a hard case and a habit of two-handed removal to keep the arms even. Clean lenses with a microfibre cloth, keep acetate out of prolonged heat, and bring the glasses back for a free adjustment if they loosen. For active kids, a retainer strap can help keep frames secure during sport and play.

The Ray-Ban heritage, sized down

Ray-Ban has been making eyewear since 1937, and the shapes in this collection — the Wayfarer family, the Round Metal, clean ovals and rectangles — are the same icons that have defined the brand for generations. What the extra small size does is make that heritage accessible to wearers who are usually overlooked: children moving into their first real prescription frames, and petite adults who have spent years compromising on fit. There is real value in a child growing up in a genuine, well-built frame rather than a flimsy substitute, and equal value in an adult finally finding an icon that sits correctly on a narrow face. Because Ray-Ban builds these to the same standard as its larger frames, you are never trading quality for size.

Buying children's glasses with confidence

Choosing glasses for a child can feel daunting, so it helps to focus on three things: fit, durability and the child's own preference. A frame that fits — eyes centred in the lenses, arms comfortable over the ears, bridge sitting without pinching — will actually be worn, which is half the battle. Ray-Ban Junior frames are engineered to take the knocks of school life, and letting a child pick a colour or shape they like makes them far more likely to keep the glasses on. As an authorised stockist we supply only genuine frames, and our team can advise on measurements if you are ordering without an in-store fitting.
