FAQs

Are these sunglasses truly polarized?

Yes, the Oliver Peoples Paul Newman Sun sunglasses feature polarized lenses designed to reduce glare effectively.

What is the main benefit of gradient lenses?

Gradient lenses are darker at the top and lighter at the bottom, offering protection from overhead sun while allowing better visibility for reading or looking at devices below.

What material is the frame made of?

The frame is constructed from high-quality acetate, known for its durability and comfortable feel.

Are these suitable for driving?

Yes, the polarized gradient lenses make them particularly well-suited for driving, enhancing visibility and reducing glare.

How should I clean the lenses?

Gently clean with a microfiber cloth. For tougher smudges, use a mild soap and water, rinse, and dry with a soft cloth.

Do these offer UV protection?

Yes, the lenses provide protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Can the lens color be changed?

The lenses are a core design feature. Prescription lenses can typically be fitted by an optician if required, but the original gradient tint is fixed.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or too tight

Adjustments can sometimes be made by a professional optician. Avoid attempting to bend the frames yourself excessively, as this can cause breakage.

Lenses are smudged or dirty

Use a dedicated lens cleaning solution or a mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft microfiber cloth.

Frame feels uncomfortable after extended wear

Ensure you have the correct fit. If they consistently cause discomfort, consult an optician for professional fitting or adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sunglasses require no setup; they are ready to wear upon purchase. They are compatible with most adult head sizes due to their universal design.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the lenses with the provided microfiber cloth or a similar soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials, paper towels, or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch the lenses or damage the coatings.
  2. Storage: When not in use, store the sunglasses in their protective case to prevent scratches and damage.
  3. Handling: Avoid leaving them in high-temperature environments (like a car dashboard on a hot day), as excessive heat can warp the frame.
  4. Water: While the lenses offer sun protection, prolonged exposure to saltwater or chlorine can be detrimental. Rinse with fresh water if exposed and dry thoroughly.
