Troubleshooting
Lenses appear dirty or smudged frequently.
Ensure you are using a clean microfiber cloth and a dedicated lens cleaning spray. Avoid touching the lenses with your fingers, as skin oils can cause smudges.
Sunglasses feel loose or slide down my nose.
The fit of sunglasses can sometimes be adjusted. Visit an authorized Ray-Ban dealer or a professional optician for a proper frame adjustment. Do not attempt to bend the frame yourself, as this can cause damage.
Discomfort behind the ears or on the nose bridge.
Check if the sunglasses are seated correctly. If discomfort persists, a professional adjustment by an optician can tailor the fit to your specific face shape, adjusting temple arms or nose pads.
Small scratches appear on the lenses.
