FAQs
What is the main benefit of the blue filter lenses?
The blue filter lenses are designed to enhance contrast and reduce glare, which can make colors appear more vibrant and improve visual clarity in bright conditions.
Are these sunglasses suitable for sports?
While they offer good sun protection for everyday activities, they are not specifically designed for high-impact sports. For strenuous activities, consider sport-specific eyewear.
How do I clean the lenses without scratching them?
Always use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For dirt or smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a lens-approved cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials.
What are the dimensions of these sunglasses?
The dimensions are: Lens width: 58 mm, Bridge width: 17 mm, and Temple length: 145 mm.
Can these sunglasses be adjusted for a better fit?
Minor adjustments can be made to the temple arms by gently bending them. For significant adjustments, it is best to visit an optician for professional fitting to prevent frame damage.
What face shapes do these sunglasses best suit?
The compact size and standard dimensions are designed to suit a range of face shapes, offering a versatile and balanced fit for most adults.
What material is the frame?
The product description indicates a 'Matte Black Gold' finish, suggesting a durable frame construction suitable for daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel too tight or too loose.
Gently adjust the temple arms by slightly bending them. If the issue persists, consult an optician for professional fitting. Avoid excessive force.
Lenses are smudged or dirty.
Clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth. For persistent smudges, use a mild lens cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use paper towels or clothing, as they can scratch the lenses.
Frame feels warped.
Avoid leaving the sunglasses in direct sunlight or high heat. You may be able to gently reshape them, but it's recommended to seek professional adjustment from an optician to avoid damage.
Reduced clarity or color distortion.
The blue filter may alter color perception. If this is problematic for your intended use, consider sunglasses without this feature. Ensure lenses are clean.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth (like a microfiber cleaning cloth) to wipe the lenses. For tougher smudges, dampen the cloth slightly with water or a lens-cleaning solution approved for coated lenses. Avoid using abrasive materials or household cleaners, as they can damage the lens coating.
- Storage: When not in use, store the sunglasses in a protective case to prevent scratches and damage. Keep them away from direct heat sources, as prolonged exposure can warp the frame.
- Handling: Avoid resting the sunglasses on their lenses. Hold them by the temples or the bridge when putting them on or taking them off.
