FAQs

What does 'polarized' mean for these sunglasses?

Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, and roads. This improves visual clarity, reduces eye strain, and enhances contrast, making them ideal for outdoor activities.

Are these sunglasses suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the lightweight TR90 frame and polarized lenses are designed for comfort during extended wear, especially in bright conditions. However, their darkness may be less ideal for very low light environments.

How do I clean the polarized lenses properly?

Use a soft microfiber cloth and a specialized lens cleaning solution. Never use paper products or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the lens coatings.

What is the UV protection level?

These sunglasses offer 100% UV protection, safeguarding your eyes from both UVA and UVB rays.

What is a Category 3 filter?

A Category 3 filter indicates dark lenses suitable for bright sunlight. They absorb 82-92% of visible light, providing good protection and visibility in strong outdoor lighting conditions.

Can I wear these sunglasses for driving?

Yes, they are excellent for driving in bright daylight due to glare reduction. However, they are not suitable for driving at night or in twilight due to their dark tint.

What does 'Carey' refer to in the frame color?

Carey is a tortoiseshell pattern, described here as a polished, semi-translucent finish, giving the frame a classic and sophisticated look.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or slip down the nose.

The TR90 frame offers some flexibility. Gently adjust the temples or consider adding small nose pads for a more secure fit. If significant adjustment is needed, consult an optician.

Lenses appear foggy or streaky after cleaning.

Ensure you are using a clean microfiber cloth and a lens-appropriate cleaning solution. Rinse the lenses with cool water before wiping if they are particularly dirty. Avoid using solvents or household detergents.

Reduced clarity or discomfort in low light conditions.

The Category 3 filter and dark green lenses are optimized for bright sunlight. For overcast days or lower light, consider a lighter lens tint or alternative eyewear. These sunglasses are not recommended for driving at night or in dimly lit conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed as a unisex model, they are compatible with most adult head shapes. The polarized lenses are best suited for bright, sunny outdoor conditions.

Care: To maintain the performance of the polarized lenses and the frame, follow these care instructions:

  1. Clean lenses using a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or paper towels, which can scratch the lens coating.

  4. Avoid leaving them in high-temperature environments (like a car dashboard in direct sun) as this can damage the frame and lenses.
