FAQs

What does 'tortoiseshell design' mean?

Tortoiseshell refers to a pattern that mimics the natural markings of a turtle's shell, typically featuring a mix of translucent browns, ambers, and sometimes black or gold flecks. It's a classic and popular aesthetic for eyewear.

Are these sunglasses polarized?

The product description does not specify polarization. These sunglasses feature dark-tinted lenses for general sun glare reduction.

What is the frame material?

The product information specifies 'Polyester' as the material for the clothing variant, which typically indicates the frame material for accessories like sunglasses.

Can I wear these for sports?

While durable for everyday wear, these sunglasses are primarily fashion accessories. For rigorous sports, eyewear specifically designed for impact resistance and secure fit is recommended.

How do I know if the cat-eye shape will suit me?

The cat-eye shape is generally flattering on many face shapes, particularly oval, round, and square. The upswept outer edges can help to lift and balance facial features.

Are these suitable for driving?

The dark-tinted lenses offer good protection in bright sunlight. However, for driving, especially in varied light conditions or at dawn/dusk, lighter or specifically designed driving lenses might be more appropriate to ensure optimal visibility.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or slip down

Ensure the moulded nose pads are correctly positioned. If the frame arms feel too wide, a professional optician may be able to make minor adjustments, or consider a sunglass retainer.

Lenses are smudged or dirty

Clean the lenses gently with a microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear can be used.

Scratches on lenses

Minor scratches may be difficult to remove and can affect vision. Avoid placing lenses on surfaces and always store in a case. Unfortunately, deep scratches often require lens replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sunglasses require no setup; they are ready to wear upon purchase. They are compatible with most adult head sizes due to their standard frame dimensions. To care for your sunglasses and maintain their appearance, it is recommended to:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the lenses with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or paper towels, which can scratch the lenses.
  2. Storage: Store the sunglasses in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage. Keep them away from extreme heat, such as a car dashboard on a hot day.
  3. Handling: Always handle the sunglasses by their arms rather than the lenses to avoid smudging and applying undue pressure.
