FAQs

Are these frames suitable for progressive lenses?

Yes, these prescription-ready frames are generally compatible with most lens types, including progressive lenses. However, it's best to confirm with your optician based on the specific lens design and your prescription.

What is the best face shape for these frames?

These frames are particularly recommended for square and rectangular face shapes, as their design helps to soften angular features and create balance.

How do I clean the acetate frame?

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the acetate frame. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing and thorough drying with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What is included with the purchase?

The Saint Laurent SL 779 Optical Frames include the original Saint Laurent case and a cleaning cloth.

Can I wear these frames without prescription lenses?

Yes, you can wear them as a fashion accessory without prescription lenses. Many opticians offer non-prescription or 'plano' lenses if you prefer.

What is the material of the frames?

The frames feature a refined acetate construction for the front and temples, combined with a slim metal rim.

How long is the temple arm?

The temple length is 145 mm.

Troubleshooting

Frames feel too tight or too loose

Visit a qualified optician for professional adjustment. They can carefully bend the temples or nose pads for a custom fit.

Lenses are not fitting correctly

Consult the optician where the lenses were fitted. Ensure they used the correct measurements and handled the frame appropriately.

Acetate frame shows signs of warping

Keep frames away from direct heat sources (e.g., car dashboard, hot water). If warping is significant, consult an optician for potential refitting or replacement.

Scratches on the frame or lenses

Minor frame scratches may be buffed by an optician. Lens scratches are typically permanent and may require lens replacement. Use the provided case for protection.
