FAQs
Are these glasses ready to wear with a prescription?
No, the Persol PO3399V comes with clear demo lenses. You will need to take them to an optician to have your prescription lenses fitted.
What is the 'Havana' or 'Tartaruga' finish?
Havana, also known as Tartaruga (Italian for tortoise), is a classic pattern featuring shades of brown and amber, mimicking the look of tortoiseshell. It's a timeless and versatile design.
How do I clean my acetate frames?
Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a specialized eyewear lens cleaner can be used. Avoid soaps or harsh chemicals.
Can I wear these if I have a wide face?
The frame dimensions are standard (Bridge: 20mm, Temple: 145mm). While designed for a regular fit, individual comfort varies. It's best to try them on or consult with an optician about the fit.
What size are these frames?
The Persol PO3399V features a lens width of 53mm or 55mm (depending on the specific variant within the model line), a bridge width of 20mm, and temple arms of 145mm.
Does it come with a case?
Yes, this model includes the original Persol case for protection.
Is the frame suitable for progressive lenses?
Generally, yes. The height of the frame (35mm or 36mm) should be adequate for most progressive lens designs, but it's always best to confirm with your optician.
Troubleshooting
Frames feel too tight or too loose.
Visit an optician for professional adjustment. Acetate frames can be gently heated and reshaped by experts for a perfect fit.
Lenses are not prescription-ready.
Take the frames to an optician to have the demo lenses replaced with your custom prescription lenses.

Avoid exposing the frames to excessive heat. If warping occurs, consult an optician for potential correction or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Persol PO3399V is designed to accommodate most standard prescription lenses. Compatibility with specific high-index or specialized lenses should be confirmed with your optician. The frame is suitable for adult wear and is unisex.
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your acetate frames:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the lenses and frame with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear. Avoid household cleaners, as they can damage lens coatings or the frame material.
- Storage: When not in use, store the frames in the provided original Persol case to protect them from scratches and dust.
- Handling: Avoid leaving the frames in extreme temperatures (e.g., on a car dashboard in direct sun) as heat can warp acetate.
