Full details
The Akoni Columba in Grey is designed for adults seeking a premium, architectural take on the classic Wellington eyewear silhouette. These unisex frames provide a sophisticated aesthetic and a robust build, making them an excellent choice for daily wearers who value durability and style; however, due to their substantial 49.7-gram weight and frame geometry, they are primarily optimized for medium to wider face shapes.

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.
