FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for everyday wear, not just fishing?

Yes, the Fortis Polarised Sunglasses - OW001 are designed for general use in bright conditions. They offer excellent glare reduction and UV protection, making them suitable for driving, hiking, or any outdoor activity where reducing glare is beneficial.

How do I know if my prescription glasses will fit under these?

These sunglasses are designed to fit over most standard-sized prescription eyeglasses. If your prescription glasses have very wide or unusually shaped frames, they may not fit comfortably. It is best to try them on with your prescription glasses if possible.

Do the polarized lenses affect the view of digital screens?

Polarized lenses can sometimes cause a rainbow effect or make it difficult to see digital screens (like smartphone displays or car dashboards) at certain angles due to their light-filtering properties.

What is the main advantage of polarized lenses?

The main advantage is the reduction of glare reflected off surfaces like water, snow, roads, and car hoods. This improves visual clarity, reduces eye strain, and enhances color perception.

Are these sunglasses heavy?

The sunglasses are designed to be lightweight for comfortable extended wear, even when worn over prescription glasses. However, the overall weight will be slightly more than standard sunglasses due to the need to accommodate prescription eyewear.

What kind of UV protection do they offer?

They offer 100% protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays, safeguarding your eyes from sun damage.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel too tight or too loose over prescription glasses.

Gently adjust the arms of the sunglasses. If they are too tight, try to slightly bend the arms outwards. If too loose, try to bend them inwards. Ensure your prescription glasses are seated correctly within the sunglasses.

Reduced visibility or distortion.

Clean both the sunglasses lenses and your prescription lenses thoroughly with a microfiber cloth and appropriate lens cleaner. Ensure the sunglasses are positioned correctly on your face and over your prescription glasses.

Sunglasses slip down the nose.

Ensure the arms are adjusted for a snug fit behind the ears. Check that the sunglasses are not sitting too far forward on your prescription glasses. Some minor adjustments to the temple arms can help create a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply place the Fortis Polarised Sunglasses - OW001 over your existing prescription glasses. Adjust the arms of the sunglasses so they rest comfortably on your ears and the frames sit evenly on your face. Ensure they do not put excessive pressure on your prescription glasses.

Compatibility: These sunglasses are designed to fit over most standard-sized prescription eyeglasses. For best results, measure your prescription glasses or try them on if possible to ensure a good fit. They are not designed for very large or unusually shaped frames.

Care: Clean the lenses regularly with a soft, microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for coated lenses. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, which can damage the polarization and coatings. Store the sunglasses in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches.
