General Warnings
Demo lenses for presentation purposes only: The included demo lenses in the frame are not intended for daily use. They do not provide protection against UV radiation or mechanical impacts.
Use clip-on sunglasses only in daylight: The clip-on sunglasses are designed exclusively for use in adequate daylight and should not be used in low light or at night.
Not suitable for direct sunlight or solar observation: Even with the clip-on sunglasses, do not look directly at the sun, especially during a solar eclipse.
Not for road use: Check the filter category of the clip-on sunglasses. Clips with filter category 4 (very dark tint) are not suitable for road use.
No UV protection with damaged clips: Damaged or scratched clips may impair UV protection and should be replaced immediately.
Material and Care Instructions
Lens sensitivity: Both demo lenses and clip-on sunglasses are prone to scratches. Clean them only with a microfiber cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or rough surfaces.
Cleaning: Use lukewarm water and mild detergent to remove dirt. Clean the clip separately from the frame to avoid scratches. Avoid chemical cleaners that could damage the clip's coating.
Drying: Allow the frame and clip to air dry. Avoid using lint-prone cloths, as they may contaminate the lenses.
Storage: Store the frame and clip-on sunglasses in a sturdy case to prevent scratches, dust, and deformation.
Avoid chemicals: Keep both the frame and clips away from perfume, hairspray, sunscreen, and other chemicals, as these can damage the material.
Magnetic clips: If the clip-on sunglasses are attached using magnets, avoid placing them near electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields.
Health Warnings
Eye strain: Do not wear frames with demo lenses for extended periods, as they provide no optical correction and may unnecessarily strain the eyes.
Unsuitable tint: Using a clip with the wrong tint for the light conditions (e.g., too dark in poor weather) may impair vision and cause headaches or eye strain.
Allergies: Materials such as plastic, metal, or coatings may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Choose hypoallergenic models if known sensitivities exist.
Not for children: Frames and clip-on sunglasses contain small parts that may pose a choking hazard. Keep them out of reach of children.
Safety Risks
Damaged lenses or clips: Scratched or broken clips may distort vision and cause reflections. Replace them to prevent accidents.
Secure fit of the clip: Ensure the clip is firmly attached to the frame and does not detach unexpectedly to avoid damage or injury.
Impaired field of vision: Clip-on sunglasses may restrict peripheral vision, which can be particularly hazardous during sports activities or while driving.
Risk of glare: Certain tints or coatings on the clip may cause glare under reflective conditions (e.g., snow, water).
Legal Notes
Check the clip's filter category: Clip-on sunglasses should comply with applicable safety standards (e.g., EN ISO 12312-1) and specify the filter category:
Category 0: Clear or lightly tinted (no sunglasses function).
Category 1: Light tint (for cloudy days).
Category 2: Medium tint (for changing light conditions).
Category 3: Dark tint (for strong sunlight).
Category 4: Very dark tint (for extremely bright conditions, such as glaciers; not suitable for road use).
Compliance: Ensure that the frame and clips are CE-marked, certifying compliance with European regulations.
Warranty and repairs: Improper use or care may void the warranty. Repairs should only be performed by authorized dealers.
Additional Notes
Versatile use: Use the clip only in intended scenarios and avoid wearing it in poor lighting or indoors.
Compatibility: Ensure that clips are used exclusively with the designated frame. Improper attachments may cause damage.
Dual function: If the clip is used as sunglasses, it should offer the same level of protection as standalone sunglasses.
