Product Information

Full details

The Retrosuperfuture 96B Optical Frame in Black is designed for adults seeking a versatile, prescription-ready eyewear solution for daily and professional use. Its primary benefit is the modern, squared acetate design that adds structure and definition to softer face shapes like round and oval. A minor caveat is its specific suitability for certain face shapes, potentially overwhelming very angular or small faces. This frame offers a decisive look with its black color and structured design, making it ideal for both men and women who value a strong personal style.

FAQs

Are these frames suitable for progressive lenses?

Yes, the 96B Optical Frame can accommodate most lens types, including progressives. Your optician can confirm compatibility based on your specific prescription and lens choice.

What is the best face shape for this frame?

These frames are specifically recommended for round and oval faces, as their squared shape adds definition and angles.

Can I wear these without prescription lenses?

Yes, you can wear them as a fashion accessory. If you choose not to install prescription lenses, consider clear non-prescription lenses or discuss 'dummy' lenses with your optician.

How should I clean the acetate frame itself?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the frame. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the acetate.

Troubleshooting

Frames feel uncomfortable or slip down

Visit an optician for professional adjustment. They can fine-tune the nose pads and temple arms for a better fit.

Acetate frame develops a white film

This can be due to oxidation or dryness. Gently clean with a slightly damp cloth and apply a small amount of specialized acetate polish if available.

Scratches on lenses or frame

Minor lens scratches may be buffed out by an optician. Frame scratches can sometimes be polished, but significant damage may be permanent. Handle with care.
