How heavy are the frames?

What material is the hinge made from?

Troubleshooting

Use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and water to gently remove skin oils from the scraped acetate texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated architectural aesthetic
  • High-durability titanium hinge components
  • Distinctive scraped acetate texture
  • Sturdy construction for long-term use

Cons

  • Heavier than standard lightweight frames at 49.7 grams
  • Not optimized for narrow facial structures
  • Requires professional fitting for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Akoni Columba frames, professional fitting is highly recommended upon receipt to align the temples with your ears and bridge. Compatibility is universal for most prescription lenses, though the high-quality acetate should be handled by a professional optician to avoid overheating during the lens insertion process. For daily care, use the provided cleaning cloth to wipe away oils and debris. Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners, as these can damage the specialized scraped acetate finish; instead, use mild soap, lukewarm water, and a microfiber cloth for deep cleaning.
