FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for all face shapes?

Yes, the pilot style is widely considered a universal shape that complements most facial structures.

Can I replace the lenses with prescription lenses?

While the frame is durable, you should consult an optician to confirm if your specific prescription fits the lens curvature of the Carrera Glory model.

Does the gold finish peel or flake off?

The frame is made from high-quality materials designed for longevity; however, proper care and avoidance of harsh chemicals are required to preserve the finish.

Are these sunglasses polarized?

Please check the specific packaging or product label provided at purchase, as lens technology specifications can vary by production batch.

How should I clean the zinc frame?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the frame and immediately follow up with a dry microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.

Troubleshooting

The frame feels loose on the face.

Visit a local optician to have the temples professionally adjusted for a more secure fit.

Smudges or oil buildup on the lenses.

Clean the lenses with a dedicated lens cleaning spray and a clean microfiber cloth; avoid using rough tissues or clothing.

Hinge stiffness or squeaking.

A very small drop of specialized eyewear lubricant applied to the hinge can help, but avoid getting oil on the lenses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Carrera Glory sunglasses, proper care is essential. Since the frames are crafted from zinc, avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or saltwater, which can compromise the gold finish.

  1. Cleaning: Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses and frame after each use to remove skin oils and fingerprints.
  2. Storage: Always store your glasses in a hard-shell protective case when not in use to prevent bending the metal frame.
  3. Adjustment: If the frames feel too tight or loose, take them to a professional optician for safe, heat-assisted adjustments to the temples.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically check the hinge screws to ensure they remain tight and secure.
