FAQs
What does 'Category 3 filter' mean for these sunglasses?
A Category 3 filter offers high protection against solar glare and allows between 8% and 18% of light transmission, making it suitable for most daylight conditions.
Are these sunglasses suitable for very bright sunlight?
Yes, with polarized lenses and a Category 3 filter, they offer excellent protection and glare reduction for bright sunny conditions.
How should I clean the polarized lenses?
Use a soft microfiber cloth and a dedicated lens cleaning solution. Gently wipe the lenses to remove smudges and dirt. Never use paper towels or rough fabrics.
What is the benefit of polarized lenses?
Polarized lenses reduce glare reflected from surfaces like water, roads, and snow, improving visual comfort and clarity.
Can I get prescription lenses fitted into these frames?
These are optical frames, meaning they are designed to be fitted with prescription lenses by an optician. The specific frame dimensions will determine compatibility.
How durable is the acetate frame?
Acetate is a strong and flexible material, but it can be sensitive to extreme heat. Avoid leaving them in hot environments like a car's dashboard.
What does 'non-spring hinge' mean?
A non-spring hinge does not have a flexible mechanism to help the temples spring back into place. This means they need to be manually opened and closed and may require more careful handling.
Troubleshooting
Lenses appear smudged or dirty
Clean the lenses gently with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution. Avoid touching lenses with fingers.
Sunglasses feel loose or slip down
Check if the temple length is suitable. Minor adjustments may be possible by a professional optician. Be cautious due to the non-spring hinge.
Frame feels stiff or difficult to adjust
Acetate frames are not as flexible as metal frames. Avoid forcing adjustments. If significant adjustment is needed, consult an optician.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear sunglasses. No setup is required.
Compatibility: Designed for adult use. The dimensions (Lens width: 56 mm, Bridge width: 17 mm, Frame width: 140 mm, Temple length: 145 mm) are standard for most adult wearers, but checking against personal measurements is recommended.
Care:
- Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth (like a microfiber cloth) and a lens cleaning solution. Avoid using abrasive materials or household cleaners, which can damage lens coatings.
- Frame Care: Wipe the acetate frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid exposing the sunglasses to high temperatures (e.g., leaving them on a car dashboard in the sun) as acetate can warp.
- Storage: Store your sunglasses in the provided branded case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
