FAQs
What does 'bi-gradient' mean for the lenses?
Bi-gradient lenses have a gradient tint applied twice, offering enhanced shade at the top and bottom of the lens where the sun's rays are most direct, while remaining clear in the middle for unobstructed vision.
Can I get my prescription put into these sunglasses?
Yes, the Ray-Ban Aviator Metal II is specifically designed with flat temples to easily accommodate prescription lenses. You will need to visit an optician to have them fitted.
What material is the frame made of?
The frame is primarily constructed from Zinc, offering durability and a lightweight feel.
How do I clean the polished enamel coating?
Wipe the frame gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or cleaning solutions that could scratch or dull the finish.
Are these sunglasses suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the lightweight zinc frame and comfortable fit, especially with adjustable nose pads, make them suitable for all-day wear.
What is the difference between these and standard Aviator sunglasses?
The Aviator Metal II features flatter temples for better prescription lens integration and uses bi-gradient lenses for enhanced sun protection, offering a more modern interpretation of the classic design.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel too tight or loose
Adjust the nose pads gently for a more customized fit. If the temples feel too tight, a professional optician may be able to make minor adjustments.
Lenses are smudged or dirty
Rinse the lenses under cool water to remove debris, then gently wash with a mild soap and water. Dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
Frame appears bent or distorted
Avoid attempting to bend the frame yourself. Take the sunglasses to an optical store for professional adjustment.
