Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Gentle Monster Dodo 01 sunglasses maintain their condition, follow these care steps:

  1. Storage: Always store the glasses in the provided protective case when not in use to prevent frame distortion or lens scratching.
  2. Cleaning: Use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe the lenses. Avoid using abrasive paper towels or clothing, which can create micro-scratches on the acetate surface.
  3. Adjustment: If the frames feel loose, take them to a professional optical specialist to heat and adjust the acetate temples for a custom fit.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically check the hinge screws and ensure they are secure; avoid exposing the frame to extreme heat, such as leaving them on a car dashboard, to prevent warping.
