3.1 Wearing Your Sunglasses

The lenses are non-polarized and provide protection against harmful UV rays. While they reduce glare, they do not eliminate it in the same way polarized lenses do. Always use caution when viewing reflective surfaces or driving.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Instructions
To ensure the longevity and clarity of your sunglasses, follow these cleaning guidelines:
- Hand Wash Only: Use mild soap and lukewarm water to gently clean the lenses and frame.
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use alcohol-based cleaners, ammonia, or other abrasive solvents, as these can damage the lens coatings and frame material.
- Dry with a soft cloth: Use a clean, soft microfiber cloth to dry the sunglasses. Avoid paper towels or rough fabrics, which can scratch the lenses.
4.2 Storage
When not in use, store your Carrera 273/S sunglasses in their protective case to prevent scratches and damage. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, such as on a car dashboard, as this can warp the frame or damage the lenses.

5. Troubleshooting
Most issues with sunglasses are related to fit or minor damage. Here are some common concerns:
- Loose Screws: If a screw on the hinge or nose pad becomes loose, gently tighten it with a small eyewear screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
- Bent Frame/Temples: If the frame or temples are slightly bent, it is recommended to take them to a professional optician for adjustment to avoid further damage.
- Scratched Lenses: Unfortunately, lens scratches are generally permanent. Proper cleaning and storage are the best prevention.
