FAQs
What does category 3 lens mean?
Category 3 lenses allow only 8-18% of light to pass through, making them ideal for high-brightness conditions like summer sun and beach environments.
Are these sunglasses polarized?
The product specifications indicate they offer 100% UV protection and category 3 tint; please check the specific packaging if polarization is a requirement for your needs.
Can I replace the lenses with prescription ones?
While the injected frame is durable, it is best to consult with an optometrist to confirm if your specific prescription fits the lens curvature and frame size of the AN4345 model.
Are these suitable for women?
While marketed as a men's style, these sunglasses are unisex in design and can be worn by anyone who appreciates the 62mm wide fit.
How do I ensure the frames don't break?
Avoid placing heavy objects on the sunglasses and always use two hands when taking them off to prevent the hinges from misaligning over time.
Troubleshooting
Smudges or oil on the lenses
Clean gently with a clean microfiber cloth and a mild lens cleaner. Avoid soap or household detergents.
Frame feels loose on the face
The injected frame is durable but rigid; take the glasses to a local optician to have the temples professionally adjusted for a better grip.
Difficulty seeing in shaded areas
Because these are category 3 lenses designed for bright light, remove the sunglasses when entering dimly lit areas or tunnels for safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Arnette Flipside sunglasses last for years, adhere to these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use only a microfiber cleaning cloth and dedicated lens spray. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive fabrics which can scratch the lens coating.
- Storage: Always store the glasses in a protective case when not in use to prevent frame distortion or lens scratching.
- Compatibility: These glasses have a lens width of 62mm, which is considered a wider fit. They are best suited for individuals who generally wear larger frame sizes.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the temple screws to ensure they remain tight. Avoid leaving the glasses in high-temperature environments, such as a hot car dashboard, which can warp the injected frame material.
