Go to Settings app > Face ID & Passcode, and turn off "Require Attention for Face ID" (the text below mentions it's needed for some sunglasses)
Strange, FaceID works with one of my Ray Ban’s but not the other. Must be due to the type of lens. G20 lenses pair doesn’t work but the mirror flash does.
My polarized G20 Aviators work fine, as do all of my Oakleys (Fire Iridium Polarized, 2x Black Iridium Polarized) ... but I also have the attention thing turned off. You might want to try that.
Turn off "Require attenton for Face ID". This makes sure your eyes are open and with decent sunglasses like Ray Bans they block infrared light.
My wifes cheap prescription glasses work fine but my mirrored raybans it cant see my eyes as they filter infrared.
Turn that option off and its just as secure, works with sunnies but does mean your other half can unlock your phone while you sleep.

My Ray-Ban Wayfarers with non-polarised G-15 green lenses never worked without Require Attention turned off, but I recently had them replaced with polarised G-15 green prescription lenses and they work every time, even with Require Attention on.
The only time FaceID doesn’t work for me is when I put my Iron Man mask on, which is roughly 22 times per day.
