Troubleshooting
Frames feel loose on the face
Take the sunglasses to an authorized optician to have the temples professionally adjusted for a secure fit.
Lenses are smudged or blurry
Clean the lenses gently with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. If build-up persists, use a small amount of non-alcohol based lens cleaner.
Hinges feel stiff or squeaky

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sunglasses last, handle them by the temples rather than the front frame to prevent misalignment. When not in use, always store the sunglasses in their protective case to avoid scratches on the lenses or pressure damage to the bio-acetate frame. To clean the lenses, use a microfiber cloth specifically designed for eyewear; avoid using paper towels or abrasive fabrics, as these can leave micro-scratches on the lens coating. If the frames become dirty, clean them using mild soap and room-temperature water, then pat dry with a soft cloth. Keep the sunglasses away from extreme heat sources, such as leaving them on a car dashboard, as high temperatures can deform the bio-acetate over time.
