FAQs

What does UV Category 3 mean?

UV Category 3 lenses provide high protection against sun glare and filter 82-92% of visible light, making them suitable for bright sunlight conditions.

Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?

Yes, the grey Category 3 lenses offer good color perception and reduced glare, making them suitable for most driving conditions, but check local regulations regarding sunglasses tint levels.

How do I know if the medium fit will work for me?

A medium fit typically corresponds to standard measurements. If you generally find sunglasses fit well, these should be suitable. For precise sizing, refer to the lens width (55mm), bridge width (18mm), and temple length (140mm).

Can I replace the lenses with prescription lenses?

While not explicitly stated, some acetate frames can be fitted with prescription lenses by an optician. It is recommended to consult with your optician before purchasing.

How should I store my sunglasses when not in use?

Always store your Chanel sunglasses in the original protective case provided to prevent scratches on the lenses and damage to the frame.

What is the frame made of?

The frame is made of acetate, a durable and high-quality plastic known for its lightweight feel and glossy finish.

Do these sunglasses offer protection against blue light?

The description focuses on UVA/UVB protection. Specific blue light filtering is not mentioned, but the grey lenses help reduce overall light intensity.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or slip down

The medium fit may require minor adjustment. Consult an optician for professional fitting or consider a subtle ear-hook adjustment if comfortable.

Lenses are smudged or dirty

Use a dedicated lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth for best results. Avoid using clothing or tissues which can scratch.

Frame feels tight on the temples

Acetate frames can sometimes be adjusted by a professional optician for a more comfortable fit.
