FAQs

What makes the "cigarette circle" unique?

The "cigarette circle" is a distinctive design element that emerged from the evolution of the Aviator, intended to allow the wearer to temporarily rest the sunglasses hands-free.

Are these sunglasses suitable for all light conditions?

The polarized lenses are excellent for reducing glare in bright conditions. For very low light, they might darken the view more than non-polarized lenses.

What is the primary benefit of polarized lenses?

Polarized lenses significantly reduce glare reflected off surfaces like water, snow, and roads, providing clearer vision and reducing eye strain.

How do I know if this limited edition model is authentic?

Purchase from authorized Ray-Ban retailers or directly from Ray-Ban. Look for official branding and packaging.

What material is the frame made of?

The frame is constructed from durable zinc material.

Can I replace the lenses if they get scratched?

Lens replacement is possible through authorized Ray-Ban service centers or opticians, though specific availability for limited editions may vary.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or tight

Adjust the nose pads gently or seek assistance from an optician for professional fitting.

Lenses appear foggy or smudged

Clean the lenses thoroughly with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution. Ensure the cloth is clean.

Difficulty seeing digital screens (e.g., phone, GPS)

This is a common characteristic of polarized lenses. Try tilting your head slightly or removing the sunglasses when using digital devices.
