FAQs

What makes the lenses polarized?

The lenses have a special filter that blocks out intense, reflected light (glare), allowing you to see clearer and reducing eye strain.

Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?

Yes, the polarized lenses significantly reduce glare from the road and other vehicles, improving driving safety and comfort in sunny conditions.

What does 'Category 3 filter' mean?

A Category 3 filter is suitable for strong sunlight outdoors. It absorbs 82-92% of sunlight, providing good protection and comfort in bright conditions.

Can I wear these for sports?

The durable TR90 frame and secure fit make them suitable for many outdoor sports in sunny weather. However, for high-impact sports, consider specialized eyewear.

What is included in the box?

The box includes the sunglasses, a microfiber cover for cleaning and protection, and a storage box.

Are the lenses interchangeable?

The product information does not specify interchangeable lenses. It is best to treat the existing lenses as fixed for optimal performance and durability.

What is the frame material?

The frame is made of TR90, a durable and flexible plastic, combined with gold stainless steel temples.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear smudged after cleaning

Ensure you are using a clean microfiber cloth and a lens-appropriate cleaner. Avoid touching the lenses directly with your fingers.

Sunglasses feel loose or slip down

Minor adjustments to the temples might be possible. For significant fitting issues, consider consulting an optician or professional.

Reduced visibility in low light

These are Category 3 sunglasses, designed for bright sunlight. Visibility will be reduced in overcast or low-light conditions. For such conditions, consider sunglasses with a lighter tint or different filter category.
