FAQs
Are these sunglasses suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the lightweight TR90 frame, adjustable nose pads, and ergonomic design make them comfortable for extended wear, especially in bright sunlight.
What does 'polarized' mean for the lenses?
Polarized lenses reduce glare reflected off surfaces like water, snow, and roads. This improves visual clarity, reduces eye strain, and enhances contrast, providing a more comfortable viewing experience.
Are the lenses safe for driving?
Yes, the polarized lenses are excellent for reducing glare while driving in sunny conditions. However, Category 3 lenses can be too dark for dawn, dusk, or very overcast weather. Always ensure visibility is adequate for safe driving.
What is TR90 material?
TR90 is a high-quality Nylon known for its exceptional flexibility, impact resistance, and lightweight properties, making it an ideal material for durable and comfortable eyeglass frames.
What level of UV protection do these sunglasses offer?
These sunglasses offer 100% UV protection with UV400 technology, blocking all harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Can I wear these in low-light conditions?
The Category 3 filter is designed for bright sunlight and absorbs 82-92% of visible light. They are not recommended for low-light conditions, overcast skies, or indoor use as they may reduce visibility too much.
What accessories are included?
The sunglasses come with a microfiber box and a lid for convenient and safe storage.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel too tight or loose
Adjust the silicone nose pads by gently bending them inwards or outwards. For temple fit, consult a professional optician for precise adjustments to the TR90 temples.
Lenses appear blurry or have smudges
Clean the lenses using the provided microfiber cloth. Ensure the cloth is clean and free of debris. If smudges persist, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear.
Frames feel stiff or are difficult to open/close
The TR90 material is designed for resistance. Ensure the hinges are not obstructed. If stiffness persists after initial use, a professional optician may be able to assist.
