Frequently Asked Questions
-
I’m struggling with some sunglasses I’ve received, what is my next step?
Please get in touch as soon as possible, our dispensing opticians will consult with you over the phone and email to get to the bottom of the issue. In the first instance this is often adaptation to a new lens type, but please rest assured we won’t leave you with glasses that you cannot use.
-
Do clear lenses provide UV protection?
Yes, the UV protection comes from the lens material or a coating. It is not connected to the depth of tint of the lens.
-
What is the difference between contrast-enhancing and neutral lenses?
Neutral lenses provide shade from the brightness of the sun, simply by darkening the environment. Contrast enhancing lenses will darken certain colours more than others, and as a result they can make particular objects or features stand out.
-
What are gradient lenses?
These are lenses that start off darker at the top, and lighten towards the bottom of the lens. Popular for driving and fashion sunglasses!
-
What are polarised lenses?
Polarised lenses eradicate glare, which is caused by reflected light rays. This is particularly useful around water or whilst driving.
-
What are photochromic lenses?
Photochromic lenses are lenses that darken on exposure to UV, in other words they become sunglasses when you go outside on a sunny day! They are also known as light-adjusting, Transitions, Reactolite, Modulator, reactive etc etc etc.
-
My lenses are dirty. How should I clean them?
We recommend using the cloth or microfibre bag that accompanied your glasses. If they are particularly dirty, you can use warm water, or optical cleaning sprays/solutions. Do not use any solvents!
-
Which size sunglasses do I need?
Most wraparound sunglasses will fit almost all head shapes and sizes. That being said, we offer sizings for all of the sunglasses we offer. Personal choice and preference over the look and how they feel in the flesh will always be key. As such, we offer a 28 day free returns service - as well as free UK delivery!
-
How do I change my sunglasses lenses?
This depends on the manufacturer to a degree. With the growth of lens interchange systems, each brand works slightly differently. As such, we suggest checking the instructions that should have been in the sunglasses packaging. Alternatively, please contact us, and we can talk you through the process for your specific sunglasses.
-
Do your sunglasses provide UV protection?
All of our sunglasses offer 100% UV protection.
