Product Information
Full details
The Akila Psyche Sunglasses are designed for adults seeking a timeless, 90s-inspired accessory that balances retro aesthetics with modern craftsmanship. These unisex frames provide the key benefit of reliable 100% UVA/UVB protection, ensuring eye safety during extended outdoor use. One caveat to consider is that the rounded, smooth-edge design provides a specific vintage silhouette that may not suit all face shapes compared to sharper, angular frame styles.

FAQs
Do these sunglasses provide polarized lenses?
The Akila Psyche provide 100% UVA/UVB protection, but please refer to the specific retailer packaging to confirm if your specific unit includes a polarization layer.
Can I replace the lenses with prescription ones?
Yes, the Psyche frame is generally compatible with standard prescription lens replacement through a certified optician.
Are these glasses suitable for smaller faces?
The rounded design is standard-sized; individuals with very petite face shapes may find the fit slightly wide.
What is the best way to store these when traveling?
Always use a hard-shell case to prevent pressure damage to the frame or scratching the lenses while in transit.
How do I ensure the hinges stay tight?
Avoid wearing them on your head, as this stretches the temples and puts unnecessary stress on the rivets.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel loose on the face
Take the frames to a professional optician to have the temples adjusted for a more secure fit.
Lens smudges that won't go away
Use a specialized lens cleaning solution and a clean microfiber cloth; avoid soap with lotions or perfumes.
Hinges feel stiff
Verify there is no debris in the hinge joint; if persistent, apply a tiny drop of frame-safe lubricant or seek professional maintenance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Akila Psyche sunglasses, store them in a protective hard case when not in use to prevent surface scratches. For cleaning, rinse the lenses under lukewarm water to remove abrasive dust particles, then wipe gently using a microfiber cloth. Avoid using household glass cleaners or paper towels, as these can strip the protective lens coatings over time. Check the hinge screws periodically to ensure they remain snug; if you notice any resistance when folding the temples, do not force them. These frames are designed for standard adult fitment.
