Troubleshooting

Lenses do not stay securely attached

Ensure the clip is fully open before attaching and that the eyeglass frame is not too thick or unusually shaped. Try attaching to a different part of the frame if possible.

Magnification is blurry

Ensure the lenses are clean and properly aligned with your line of sight. Verify they are clicked into their lowest position. Check that your eyeglasses are correctly positioned on your face.

Difficulty flipping lenses up or down

Gently maneuver the lenses. If they feel stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing the pivot mechanism. They should move smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:
