FAQs

What is the main benefit of polarized lenses?

Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces, improving vision clarity and reducing eye fatigue, especially in bright conditions.

Are these sunglasses suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the polarized lenses and comfortable fit are designed for extended wear in sunny conditions. However, they are Category 3 and may be too dark for very low light environments.

What does 'Category 3 filter' mean?

A Category 3 filter indicates that the lenses are dark and absorb between 82% and 92% of sunlight, making them suitable for strong sunlight and outdoor activities.

What materials are the frame and lenses made of?

The frame is made of metal and TR90. The lenses are made of polarized bio tac material, specifically TR18 with Eastman seal for high optical quality and resistance.

Do these sunglasses offer full UV protection?

Yes, the lenses offer 100% UV protection, safeguarding your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.

What comes in the box?

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

Can the frame be adjusted for a tighter fit?

Minor adjustments can be made by gently bending the temple arms. For significant adjustments, it's best to seek assistance from an optical professional to avoid damage.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear too dark indoors or in low light.

These are Category 3 sunglasses, designed for bright sunlight. For indoor or low-light conditions, it is recommended to remove them or use eyewear with a lighter tint.

Frame or lenses get smudged easily.

Clean lenses with the provided microfiber cloth. For the frame, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Sunglasses feel loose on the face.

Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by gently bending the temple arms. For significant looseness, consult an optical professional for precise fitting.
