FAQs

What does 'Transitions®' mean for the lenses?

Transitions® lenses are photochromic, meaning they automatically darken in bright sunlight and become clear indoors or at night, providing convenience and eye protection in changing light conditions.

Are these sunglasses suitable for all face shapes?

The square frame design is specifically recommended for oval and round face shapes. While anyone can wear them, they are optimized for these contours.

Can I get my own prescription put into these frames?

Yes, these sunglasses come with standard prescription lenses, indicating they are designed to accommodate your specific vision prescription.

What material are the frames made from?

The frames are made from a lightweight material, designed for comfort and durability during extended wear.

How do I clean the lenses without damaging them?

Use a soft microfiber cloth and a mild lens cleaning solution or a drop of mild soap with water. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

What is the difference between the 51-20 and 53-20 sizes?

The numbers refer to lens width (51mm or 53mm) and bridge width (20mm). The 53-20 size is slightly wider than the 51-20.

Do these sunglasses offer UV protection?

Yes, as sunglasses, they are designed to provide protection against harmful UV rays, further enhanced by the adaptive tinting of the Transitions® lenses.

Troubleshooting

Lenses not transitioning properly

Ensure lenses are clean and free from smudges. Transitions® lenses react to UV light; test in direct sunlight. Performance may be slightly reduced in very cold or very hot conditions.

Frames feel uncomfortable or ill-fitting

Check if the size is appropriate for your face. Sunglasses may require minor adjustment by a professional optician for a perfect fit.

Scratches on lenses

Minor scuffs may occur with regular use. Deep scratches cannot be removed. Follow care instructions to prevent future scratches, and store in the provided case.

Care: To maintain the quality of your sunglasses:
