FAQs

Are the Prada Prc 08S sunglasses available with prescription lenses?

The Prc 08S model is primarily designed as fashion sunglasses. While some optical shops may offer prescription lens fitting for this frame, it's not a standard feature and depends on the specific optical lab's capabilities.

What is the difference between standard and polarized lenses on this model?

Standard lenses offer UV protection. Polarized lenses include an additional filter that blocks reflected light (glare) from surfaces like water, roads, and snow, providing clearer vision and reduced eye strain in bright conditions.

How do I know if this frame shape will suit my face?

These sunglasses are recommended for round, oval, and heart-shaped faces. The pillow shape and defined volumes can balance features. Trying them on in person or consulting a style guide for face shapes is the best approach.

Can I clean the sunglasses with my shirt?

It is strongly advised not to clean the lenses with clothing or any abrasive material. This can cause micro-scratches over time, degrading lens clarity. Always use a dedicated microfiber cloth.

What does the 'Nero' color option mean?

'Nero' is the Italian word for black. Therefore, the 'Black | Nero' color option refers to the frame and lens color being black.

What are the dimensions of the sunglasses?

The lens width is 50 mm. The frame has a narrow pillow shape with a slim-height profile, designed for a versatile everyday fit.

How should I store my Prada sunglasses?

Always store your Prada sunglasses in the protective case provided. This will shield them from scratches, dust, and potential damage when not being worn.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel too tight or too loose

The temples are designed to be gently adjusted by a professional optician for a custom fit. Avoid attempting to adjust them yourself, as this can damage the frame.

Lenses are smudged or dirty

Gently clean the lenses using a microfiber cloth and a mild lens cleaner. For stubborn smudges, rinse with cool water first, then dry with the microfiber cloth.

Frame appears warped

Acetate can be sensitive to heat. Allow the sunglasses to cool down slowly at room temperature. If the warping persists, consult an optician for potential adjustment.

Logo on temple is fading

The enamel filling the laser-engraved logo is durable but avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning. If fading is significant, it may be a manufacturing defect; contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft microfiber cloth and a mild, specialized lens cleaner. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or abrasive materials, which can scratch the lenses.
  2. Frame Care: Clean the acetate frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using solvents, alcohol, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the acetate material.
  3. Storage: When not in use, store your sunglasses in the protective case provided to prevent scratches and damage.
  4. Avoid Heat: Do not leave the sunglasses exposed to high temperatures, such as on a car dashboard, as heat can warp the acetate frame.
