FAQs
Are these sunglasses suitable for very bright, sunny days?
These sunglasses feature UV Category 3 lenses, which offer good protection for bright sunlight. For extremely intense light conditions, such as on glaciers or during water sports, a higher category filter might be more appropriate.
Can I put prescription lenses in these sunglasses?
Yes, the Chanel Oval Sunglasses are designed to be prescription friendly. You can take them to an optician to have your specific prescription lenses fitted.
How should I clean the lenses to avoid scratches?
Always use the provided microfiber cleaning cloth or a similar soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using tissues, paper towels, or abrasive cleaners, as these can scratch the polyamide lenses.
What is included with the sunglasses?
The sunglasses come complete with their original hard case, a dedicated cleaning cloth, and a certificate of authenticity and guarantee.
What material are the frames made of?
The frames are made from 100% acetate, a durable and lightweight plastic known for its premium finish and ability to hold color.
How do I know if the sunglasses will fit my face?
The sunglasses have a lens width of 54mm, lens height of 37mm, frame width of 126mm, bridge width of 18mm, and temple length of 140mm. These dimensions are standard for many adult faces, but trying them on or comparing to existing sunglasses is recommended.
What does 'UV Category Filter 3' mean?
UV Category 3 indicates that the lenses block between 82% and 94% of visible light, offering good protection against bright sunlight. They are suitable for everyday use but not for very specific, high-intensity light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel loose or tight
Adjust the temple arms slightly if needed, or consult an optician for professional fitting. Ensure the bridge width is appropriate for your nose.
Lenses are smudged or dirty
Gently clean the lenses using the provided cleaning cloth and a small amount of lens cleaning solution if necessary. Avoid tap water, which can contain minerals.
Frame feels flimsy or damaged
Inspect the frame for any cracks or loose hardware. If damage is found, contact customer support or an authorized retailer, utilizing the included guarantee.
Sunglass arms slip down the nose
Check if the temple length (140mm) and bridge (18mm) are correctly sized for your face. Slight adjustments by a professional might help, or consider specialized nose pads if compatible.
