Who needs reading glasses? Anyone who might need a little help seeing the small print. This typically starts to happen in our late 30s (gasp, we know!) and our early 40s. We do offer a plano (0.00 strength) option for anyone who just loves the look of glasses, or who might want the AR coating only to help cut glare.
What color are your sunglass lens? We currently offer our lenses in gray and brown, depending on the color of the frame. The colors are comparable in how much light they transmit. Both are polarized and offer 100% UV protection.
Do your sunglasses offer UV protection? Yes! All of our sunlenses have 100% UVA and UVB protection.
How do your frames fit? We’ve strived for a fit that will work for most face shapes. If for some reason they don’t seem to work for you, let us know and we can process a return or walk you through the best way to get them adjusted, if possible.
Do you accept insurance? Sometimes? Sort of? Let us explain. We don’t accept insurance, but we can help you process a claim if your readers or sunglasses are covered. You have two options. You can email us for an itemized receipt, which you can then send to your insurance company for reimbursement. Or, you can visit our insurance page here, to submit (TBH a lot of private) information so that we can use a company called Anagram to process the claim on your behalf. You pay us, they pay you. Don’t worry, it’s encrypted.
