FAQs
Are the lenses UV protected?
The product description states 'Clear lenses polarized'. While polarization reduces glare, it does not inherently guarantee UV protection. It is recommended to confirm UV protection with the seller or an optician, or consider lenses with added UV coating.
Can I get prescription lenses fitted?
Yes, these are eyeglass frames and can typically be fitted with prescription lenses by a qualified optician.
What is the meaning of 56-18 sizing?
This refers to the lens diameter (56mm) and the bridge width (18mm) of the eyeglasses. This is a standard measurement for eyewear.
How do I clean the gunmetal frame?
Wipe the frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to maintain the finish.
Are these suitable for bright sunlight?
These feature clear lenses, so they are not designed to function as sunglasses in bright sunlight. They are best suited for indoor use or moderate lighting conditions where glare reduction is beneficial.
What is the benefit of polarized clear lenses?
Polarized clear lenses reduce glare from flat surfaces like screens and roads without altering the color perception of the viewed objects. This can enhance visual comfort and reduce eye strain in specific environments.
Troubleshooting
Eyeglasses feel loose or tight
Visit an optician to have the frame adjusted for a perfect fit. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made at home with specialized tools, but professional fitting is recommended.
Lenses are smudged or dirty
Clean the lenses using a microfiber cloth and approved lens cleaner. Rinse with cool water first if there is debris to avoid scratching.
Frame appears bent or damaged
Handle the frame with care. For significant damage, consult an optician for potential repair or replacement options.
