How should I clean the lenses?

Can the tint of the lens be changed?

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or too tight.

Due to the acetate material, significant adjustments should be avoided. If the fit is uncomfortable, consult with an optical professional for potential minor adjustments or consider if the size is appropriate.

Tinted lens seems too dark or too light for intended use.

The lens is designed for aesthetic and specific UV protection. If visibility is a concern in varied light conditions, these may be best suited for bright, sunny environments. Consider the specific tint's purpose for optimal use.

Smudges or fingerprints on the lens.

Use a dedicated microfiber cleaning cloth designed for eyewear. For stubborn smudges, a lens cleaning solution can be applied sparingly to the cloth, then gently wipe the lens.
