Frequently Asked Questions 

How Do I Choose the Right Lens Shape for My Face?

To choose the right lens shape for your face, think of contrasts. If you have a round face, then square lenses will look great on you. If you have a square face, then choose a pair of sunglasses with rounder lenses. 

Are Oversized Frames Suitable for All Face Shapes?

Oversized frames are suitable for all face shapes. What matters most is that you find a pair of sunglasses that fits your face properly. To see if the oversized shades you’re looking at will fit you, measure the width of your favorite frames from hinge to hinge. If the pair of sunglasses you’re looking at has a width of +/- 4mm of your favorite pair, then it will fit.

Why Is UV Protection Important in Sunglasses, Especially During Spring?

UV protection is important in sunglasses because it blocks harmful UV rays that can lead to health issues, including reduced vision, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Your eyes can also experience short-term issues from the sun, including Photokeratitis, which is temporary painful eye damage from UV light.

Depending on where you live, the UV rays can become intense during the spring. The sun is at its highest angle in the summer, so UV exposure is the worst. However, it can also become severe in late spring, so it’s crucial to wear sunglasses that offer 100% UV protection or are rated 400 UV.

What Are Some Tips for Maintaining and Caring for My Sunglasses to Ensure Longevity and Performance?

To ensure longevity and performance for your sunglasses, clean your sunglasses every week or two. Using room temperature water and clean hands, wash your sunglasses with a few drops of mild dish soap. Only use the pads of your fingers to wipe away dirt or grime, and dry them with a microfiber towel.

Additionally, don’t leave your sunglasses in the car, where they can be warped from the heat. Store them in a case to protect them from drops and scratches, which can compromise UV-blocking and polarized sunglasses coatings.
