FAQs
What does 'Category 2 filter' mean for these sunglasses?
A Category 2 filter allows between 19% and 43% of visible light to pass through. This means they block 57-81% of sunlight, making them suitable for moderate daylight conditions but potentially less so for very bright, intense sunlight.
Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?
Yes, the Category 2 filter and clear optical quality make them suitable for driving in moderate light conditions. However, for very bright or rapidly changing light conditions, consider sunglasses with a different filter category.
What is TR18 material for lenses?
TR18 is a type of plastic known for its lightness, strength, and resistance to chemicals. Lenses made from TR18 offer good optical clarity and impact resistance.
How should I clean the lenses without damaging them?
Always use the provided microfiber cloth or a clean, soft optical lens cloth. For persistent dirt, rinse the lenses with cool water and then gently dry them with the cloth. Avoid paper products or rough fabrics.
What is the 'Eastman seal' mentioned for the lenses?
The Eastman seal indicates that the lenses are made using high-quality materials and manufacturing processes, often associated with durability and superior optical performance.
Can the blue color of the lenses affect my vision?
The blue tint is primarily cosmetic but can slightly alter color perception. Most users find it comfortable for everyday use, but some may notice a subtle shift in how colors appear.
What comes included with the sunglasses?
Each pair of Hawkers Point sunglasses comes with a microfiber cleaning cover and a protective box for storage and transport.
Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These sunglasses require no setup; they are ready to wear upon arrival. They are compatible with most face shapes due to their unisex design. To ensure longevity and maintain optical clarity:
- Cleaning: Use the provided microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses. For tougher smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a lens-cleaning solution. Avoid using abrasive materials or household cleaners, as they can damage the lens coating.
- Storage: When not in use, store the sunglasses in the included box or microfiber cover to protect them from scratches and dust.
- Handling: Avoid leaving them in extreme heat (e.g., on a car dashboard), as this can warp the acetate frame. Handle by the frame, not the lenses, to minimize fingerprints and potential damage.
