FAQs
What does 'Category 3 filter' mean for the lenses?
A Category 3 filter offers dark tinting that absorbs 82-92% of sunlight, making it suitable for bright outdoor conditions and strong sun exposure.
Are these sunglasses suitable for sports?
Yes, the durable TR90 frame and secure fit from the updated design make them suitable for many outdoor activities. However, for high-impact sports, specialized eyewear might be more appropriate.
What is TR18 lens material?
TR18 lenses are known for their excellent optical quality, high durability, and are environmentally friendly, bearing the Eastman seal.
Can I wear these if I have a prescription?
These are non-prescription sunglasses. If you require prescription lenses, you would need to consult an optician about fitting prescription lenses into this frame, if possible.
How do I clean the gradient lenses without damaging them?
Gently rinse the lenses with lukewarm water, then use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to dry. For stubborn smudges, use a lens-specific cleaning solution designed for coated optics.
What is the main difference from the original Minimal model?
The Minimal Max model features a slightly larger frame for an improved, more comfortable fit compared to the original Minimal model.
Are these sunglasses polarized?
The product description does not mention polarization. These lenses feature a Category 3 filter and UV protection, but polarization is not specified.
Troubleshooting
Lenses appear too dark indoors or on overcast days.
These sunglasses feature a Category 3 filter, which is optimized for bright sunlight. For lower light conditions, consider using a lighter shade of sunglasses or removing them.
Frames feel slightly loose or slip.
The TR90 frame offers some flexibility. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If persistent, consult an optician for potential adjustments or consider adding ear grips.
Scratches on the lenses.
Scratches are typically irreversible. Avoid placing the sunglasses lens-down and store them in their case. Clean gently with a microfiber cloth.
Frame feels stiff or not flexible.
While TR90 is flexible, extreme cold can make it temporarily less pliable. Ensure the sunglasses are at room temperature. If the frame feels abnormally stiff, check for manufacturing defects.
