FAQs
What does 'Bio-Based' mean for the frame material?
'Bio-Based' indicates that the frame is made from materials derived from renewable biological sources, offering a more sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics.
Are these sunglasses suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the durable construction and comfortable unisex design make them suitable for everyday wear, especially in sunny conditions. However, be mindful of potential screen interference.
How do polarized lenses differ from standard lenses?
Polarized lenses reduce glare reflected off surfaces like water, snow, and roads, providing clearer vision and reducing eye strain. Standard lenses do not offer this glare-filtering capability.
What is the frame material?
The frame is made from metal, specifically zinc, and incorporates bio-based materials.
What is the lens color and feature?
The lenses are dark grey and polarized.
What are the dimensions of the sunglasses?
The lens and bridge width are 56-18.
Can I wear these if I wear prescription glasses?
These are designed as regular sunglasses. If you require prescription eyewear, you would need to consider prescription sunglasses or use contact lenses with these sunglasses.
Troubleshooting
Polarized lens interference with digital screens
This is a known characteristic of polarized lenses. If consistent interference is a major concern for your daily use of digital devices, consider a non-polarized lens option or remove the sunglasses when using such screens.
Sunglasses feel loose or too tight
Minor adjustments can often be made by a professional optician. Do not attempt to force adjustments yourself, as this can damage the frame. If you are within the return period, check the return policy for fit-related issues.
Scratches on lenses
Minor scratches are difficult to remove. Always use a microfiber cloth for cleaning and store the sunglasses in their case to prevent future scratches.
