FAQs
What is the main benefit of the polarized clip-on lenses?
The polarized clip-on lenses significantly reduce glare from reflective surfaces, improving visual clarity and reducing eye strain in bright conditions.
Are these sunglasses suitable for women?
These sunglasses are specifically designed for men, with dimensions and styling tailored for a male fit. While personal preference varies, they are marketed towards men.
How do I clean the lenses without scratching them?
Use a soft, microfiber cleaning cloth. For tougher smudges, dampen the cloth slightly with water or a lens-cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear. Avoid paper towels or abrasive cloths.
Can I replace the clip-on lenses with different colors?
The CA 368/C model typically comes with a specific set of clip-on lenses. While other compatible clip-on lenses might exist from Carrera, they are not standard replacements for this specific model.
What are the dimensions of the sunglasses?
The dimensions are 51mm for the lens width, 21mm for the bridge width, and 145mm for the temple length.
How durable is the metal frame?
The metal frame is designed for durability in everyday use. However, like all metal frames, it can be bent or damaged if subjected to excessive force or improper handling.
Troubleshooting
Clip-on lenses are loose or detach easily.
Ensure the clips are fully engaged with the frame edge. If the clips are bent, gently adjust them with pliers. If the issue persists, the clip-on mechanism may be worn and require replacement.
Polarized lenses do not seem to be reducing glare.
Verify that the clip-on lenses are correctly attached and oriented. Some types of glare, particularly from certain digital screens, may still be visible even with polarized lenses.
Frame feels uncomfortable or sits unevenly.
Adjust the temples by gently bending them to better fit the contour of your head. If the frame is bent, try to carefully straighten it. For significant adjustments, consult an optician.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The primary setup involves attaching the polarized clip-on lenses to the main frame. Ensure the clips align with the frame's edge and gently press down until they securely latch. Test the connection by lightly tugging to confirm they are stable.
Compatibility: These sunglasses are designed for adult men. The included clip-on lenses are specifically fitted for the Carrera CA 368/C frame (size 51/21/145) and are not interchangeable with other models.
Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your sunglasses:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, microfiber cloth to clean both the frame and lenses. Avoid abrasive materials or household cleaners, which can damage the lens coatings or frame.
- Storage: When not in use, store the sunglasses in a protective case to prevent scratches and damage. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can warp the frame.
- Handling: Handle the sunglasses by the temples (arms) rather than the lenses to avoid fingerprints and maintain the frame's shape. Be mindful when attaching and detaching the clip-on lenses to prevent stress on the attachment points.
