Product Information
Full details
These Carrera 8054S sunglasses are designed for adult men seeking a blend of classic style and durable construction. The key benefit is their timeless square silhouette made from high-quality acetate, offering both comfort and resilience. A minor caveat is that the acetate material, while durable, requires specific care to maintain its finish. Key features include a full acetate frame and temples for a lightweight feel, high-quality lenses with excellent UV protection, and subtle brand detailing.

FAQs
What is acetate, and why is it used for frames?
Acetate is a plant-based plastic known for its durability, flexibility, and hypoallergenic properties. It allows for vibrant colors and a smooth, comfortable finish, making it ideal for eyewear.
How do I clean the lenses without damaging them?
Use a soft, clean microfiber cloth. For tougher smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be used, but avoid household cleaners, alcohol, or acetone.
Do these sunglasses offer UV protection?
Yes, the lenses are high quality and provide excellent UV protection to shield your eyes from the sun's harmful rays.
What are the exact dimensions of the sunglasses?
The dimensions are: Lens height 41 mm, Lens width 52 mm, Bridge 21 mm, and Temples 145 mm.
Can I adjust the fit of the temples?
Acetate temples can be adjusted carefully, often with gentle heat. However, it's best to consult an optician for professional adjustments to prevent breakage.
Where is the Carrera branding located?
The Carrera brand is engraved on the lens, serving as a subtle mark of authenticity.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the temples slightly. Acetate can be gently manipulated with heat (e.g., a hairdryer on a low setting), but professional adjustment is recommended to avoid damage.
Lenses are smudged or dirty
Use a dedicated microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution. Avoid using your shirt or other rough materials which can scratch the lenses.
Frame appears dull or discolored
Ensure you are not using harsh cleaning agents. Gentle cleaning with a microfiber cloth should restore the finish. If discoloration persists, it may be due to prolonged exposure to certain chemicals.
