Frequently Asked Questions
Only if they lack UV protection. Dark lenses without UV400 cause pupils to dilate, allowing more harmful UV rays to enter. Always verify UV protection certification before buying, even for budget sunglasses.
No. Never wear sunglasses at night or in low light — they reduce visibility and increase accident risk. Use anti-glare night driving glasses instead, which have yellow-tinted lenses that enhance contrast.
Rinse with lukewarm water, apply a drop of mild dish soap, gently rub with your fingers, rinse again, and pat dry with a microfiber cloth. Never use paper towels, tissues, or shirt fabric — they scratch lenses over time.
