FAQs

Are these glasses suitable for very young children?

These are designed for kids and offer a durable, lightweight build. However, the best fit depends on the child's individual facial structure. We recommend consulting with an optician to confirm suitability and ensure proper fitting for your child.

What does 'Bio-Based' mean for these eyeglasses?

'Bio-Based' indicates that the materials used to create the frame are derived from renewable sources, such as plant-based plastics, making them a more sustainable choice compared to traditional petroleum-based plastics.

Can I get these with prescription lenses?

Yes, the RB1641 Optics Kids Bio-Based frames are designed to accommodate prescription lenses. You will need to take them to an optician for lens fitting.

How do I clean the frame itself?

The frame can typically be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For stubborn marks, a mild soap and water solution, followed by thorough rinsing and drying with a soft cloth, is usually sufficient.

What is the typical lifespan of these eyeglasses for a child?

The lifespan depends heavily on the child's activity level and how well the glasses are cared for. The durable construction aims to provide longevity, but regular wear and tear are expected with children's accessories.

Are there other color options available for this model?

Yes, the RB1641 Optics Kids Bio-Based model comes in various color combinations. Please refer to the product details or consult with a retailer for available sibling models.

Troubleshooting

Eyeglasses feel too loose or too tight

Consult an optician to adjust the temple arms or nose pads for a perfect fit. Minor adjustments can often be made at no charge.

Lenses are frequently smudged

Ensure you are cleaning the lenses with a proper lens cleaner and microfiber cloth. Smudging can also occur if the lens coating is damaged; consult your optician.

Frame appears bent or damaged

Handle the frames gently. For minor bends, an optician may be able to carefully reshape them. For significant damage, replacement parts or new frames may be necessary.

Skin irritation around the nose or ears

This could be due to an improper fit or a reaction to the frame material. Ensure the fit is correct, or discuss potential hypoallergenic nose pads with your optician.
