Operating Guidelines

The Saber Advanced Shooting Glasses are designed for optimal performance in various conditions. Ensure proper fit and lens selection for your specific activity.

• Lens Selection: Choose the appropriate lens color for your environment. Dark lenses are ideal for bright conditions, while clear or amber lenses are better for low light or enhancing contrast.
• Secure Fit: Adjust the flexible nose piece and ensure the temples or tactical strap provide a snug, comfortable fit to prevent slippage during activity.
• Eye Protection: Always wear your Wiley X Saber Advanced glasses when engaging in activities that pose a risk of eye injury, such as shooting, hunting, or industrial work.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Wiley X Saber Advanced Shooting Glasses.

• Cleaning Lenses: Use the provided microfiber cleaning cloth to gently wipe lenses. For stubborn smudges, breathe lightly on the lens surface before wiping. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage lens coatings.
• Storage: Store your glasses in the included zippered case when not in use. This protects them from scratches, dust, and impacts.
• Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the glasses to extreme heat (e.g., leaving them on a car dashboard in direct sunlight) or sharp objects, which can cause damage to the frame or lenses.
• General Care: Do not wash, dry, or iron the glasses.

Troubleshooting

• Lenses appear blurry or scratched: Ensure lenses are clean using the provided microfiber cloth. If scratches are present, replacement lenses may be available from Wiley X.
• Glasses do not fit securely: Adjust the flexible nose piece for a tighter or looser fit. Ensure temples are fully extended and properly attached. Consider using the tactical strap for a more secure fit during active use.
• Difficulty changing lenses: Ensure you are applying firm, but controlled, pressure as demonstrated in the setup instructions and video. If the lens or frame appears damaged, do not force it.
