Care Advice To clean day-to-day, use lens cleaner and a microfibre cloth. For a deeper clean, please visit an optician.
Notes For optimal modern standard UV protection, please have these sunglasses reglazed by an optician to be sure they offer full protection. As the law that governs standards on UV protection was only introduced in the 1980s, all sunglasses made before then may not offer UV protection to modern standards.
