Product Information
Full details
The Hawkers Eclipsa in Black is an ideal choice for fashion-forward adults who appreciate a nostalgic Y2K aesthetic combined with modern lens technology. These unisex sunglasses offer a lightweight, durable wearing experience and reliable UV protection for everyday outdoor activities, though their Category 2 lens filter means they may be less effective in extremely bright or harsh glare conditions compared to darker polarized lenses.

FAQs
Are these sunglasses polarized?
The Hawkers Eclipsa features TR18 lenses with excellent optical quality, but they are categorized by their light transmission levels rather than polarization.
What does a Category 2 lens mean?
A Category 2 lens allows 19-43% of light to pass through, meaning it absorbs 57-81% of sunlight. It is intended for average outdoor brightness.
Can I replace the lenses with prescription ones?
Because the Eclipsa uses a specific mask-style lens design, replacing them with standard prescription lenses is often not possible. Consult an optician for feasibility.
Are these glasses unisex?
Yes, the Eclipsa model is designed with a unisex frame shape and black finish that suits all genders.
How do I store them to prevent damage?
Store them in a microfiber pouch or hard protective case to shield them from dust, debris, and accidental impacts.
What material is the frame made of?
The frame is constructed from an ultra-lightweight, durable metal designed for comfort and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Lenses are smudged or blurry
Clean thoroughly with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. If residue persists, use a small amount of mild, pH-neutral soap and rinse with lukewarm water.
Frame feels too loose on the face
Gently tighten the temple arms behind the ears or visit an optical shop for a custom adjustment of the metal hinges.
Screws are becoming loose
Use a precision jeweler's screwdriver to carefully tighten the hinge screws, taking care not to over-tighten.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Hawkers Eclipsa sunglasses in pristine condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a microfiber cloth or a dedicated lens cleaning spray. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive fabrics, as these can create microscopic scratches on the TR18 lenses.
- Storage: Always store the glasses in a protective hard case when not in use to prevent the metal frame from bending or lenses from being scratched.
- Adjustment: If the fit feels loose, take them to a professional optician to adjust the metal temple arms gently; avoid aggressive bending to prevent snapping the metal hinges.
- Heat Exposure: Do not leave the sunglasses on a car dashboard during summer, as the heat can cause the lens coatings to degrade or the metal frames to become uncomfortably hot to the touch.
