FAQs
What type of lenses can I put in these frames?
These are optical frames and can accommodate most standard prescription lenses, including single vision and progressive lenses. It is essential to have them fitted by a qualified optician.
What face shapes are these frames best suited for?
The square frame silhouette is recommended for round and oval face shapes, as it adds angles and definition to softer features.
How should I clean the lenses of my Ralph By Ralph Lauren glasses?
Use a soft microfiber cloth and a specialized lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
Can I wear these frames for sports?
These are designed as everyday optical frames and are not specifically built for high-impact sports. For athletic activities, sports-specific eyewear is recommended.
What is the material of the frame?
The frame is constructed from acetate, a durable and lightweight plastic material known for its polished finish.
How do I adjust the fit of the glasses if they slip down my nose?
Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by an optician. They can adjust the nose pads or temples to ensure a secure and comfortable fit without damaging the frame.
Are these glasses polarized?
These are optical frames and do not come with polarized lenses. Polarization is a lens feature that must be specified when ordering prescription lenses from an optician.
Troubleshooting
Frames feel too tight or too loose
Visit an optician for professional adjustment. They can gently bend the temples or nose pads to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
Lenses become scratched
Clean gently with a microfiber cloth and specialized lens cleaner. For significant scratches, lens replacement by an optician may be necessary.
Frame material feels rough or dull
Ensure you are using the correct cleaning methods. Stubborn grime might require a professional cleaning service at an optical store.
One temple arm is bent or misaligned
Attempt minor adjustments carefully with appropriate tools, or seek professional adjustment from an optician to avoid breaking the frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean lenses regularly with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using paper towels or rough fabrics, which can scratch the lenses.
