FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for all face shapes?

While anyone can wear them, they are specifically recommended for those with square or rectangular face shapes to help soften angular features.

Do the lenses offer UV protection?

Yes, as a premium eyewear brand, Persol lenses are designed to provide essential protection against harmful UV rays.

Can I replace the lenses with prescription lenses?

In most cases, the Persol 2496S frame is compatible with prescription lenses; consult your local optometrist to confirm lens fitting capabilities.

How should I store these sunglasses?

Always store them in their hardshell case to prevent crushing or scratching the lenses and frame finish.

Can I wear these in saltwater environments?

It is recommended to rinse the frames thoroughly with fresh water if they are exposed to saltwater, as salt can cause corrosion on the gold finish over time.

Troubleshooting

The sunglasses feel loose on the face

Visit a professional optical boutique to have the temple arms adjusted for a secure, custom fit.

Smudges or oil buildup on lenses

Use a dedicated lens cleaning spray and a clean microfiber cloth; avoid using clothing or tissues.

Signs of tarnish or buildup on metal

Gently clean with a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe immediately with a dry cloth to prevent oxidation.

  • Ideal for softening square or rectangular face shapes
  • High-quality construction synonymous with the Italian brand

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Persol 2496S sunglasses remain in peak condition, store them in their provided protective case whenever they are not in use. To clean the frames and lenses, use a mild, ph-neutral soap and lukewarm water, then dry thoroughly with a soft microfiber cloth to prevent water spots or oxidation on the gold metal components. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive paper towels, which can scratch the lens surface or damage the metallic finish. If the fit feels loose, take them to a professional optician to adjust the temple arms rather than attempting to bend them yourself, as this can compromise the hinge integrity.
