3. Operating Instructions
3.1. Wearing the Sunglasses

3.2. Changing Lenses
The Wiley X Guard Advanced features an interchangeable lens system, allowing you to adapt to various light conditions.
- Removal: Hold the frame firmly. Gently push the lens out from the inside near the nose bridge, then carefully work it out from the frame grooves. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the frame or lens.
- Installation: Align the new lens with the frame grooves, starting from the outer edge. Carefully press the lens into place, ensuring it snaps securely into the frame, especially around the nose bridge area. You may hear a slight click when the lens is fully seated.
- Verification: After installation, gently flex the frame to ensure the lens is securely held and does not easily dislodge.
Caution: Always handle lenses by their edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Use the provided microfiber cloth for cleaning.
3.3. Lens Tints and Their Applications
- Grey Lenses: Provide maximum glare reduction without distorting colors. Ideal for bright, sunny conditions.

4. Maintenance
4.1. Cleaning Lenses and Frames
- Lenses: Use the provided microfiber cleaning cloth to gently wipe away dust, smudges, and fingerprints. For more thorough cleaning, rinse lenses under lukewarm water to remove abrasive particles, then use a mild soap or lens cleaning solution and dry with the microfiber cloth. Avoid using paper towels or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage lens coatings.
- Frames: Wipe the frames with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
4.2. Storage
When not in use, store your Wiley X Guard Advanced Sunglasses in the provided zippered clamshell case. This protects them from scratches, dust, and impact. Avoid leaving sunglasses in direct sunlight in enclosed spaces (e.g., a car dashboard), as extreme heat can damage the frames and lens coatings.
5. Troubleshooting
- Lenses Difficult to Change: Ensure you are applying even pressure and following the removal/installation steps carefully. Lenses are designed to fit snugly for security. If excessive force is required, re-evaluate your technique.
- Lenses Pop Out Easily: Verify that the lenses are fully seated in all frame grooves, especially near the nose bridge. A slight click indicates proper installation. If the issue persists, inspect the frame and lenses for any visible damage.
- Scratched Lenses: Minor scratches can sometimes be polished with specialized lens repair kits, but deep scratches may require lens replacement. Always store lenses in the protective case and clean with appropriate materials.
- Frame Damage: If the frame is bent or broken, contact Wiley X customer support for repair or replacement options.
