Setup and Initial Use

Follow these steps for initial setup and fitting:

1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the sunglasses from their packaging. Inspect for any visible damage.
2. Initial Fit: Place the sunglasses on your face. Ensure they rest comfortably on your nose bridge and the temples sit securely over your ears without causing pressure.
3. Adjustments: If the fit is too loose or too tight, or if the sunglasses sit unevenly, minor adjustments to the nose pads or temple tips may be required. It is recommended to have these adjustments performed by a qualified optician to avoid damage.

Operating Instructions

These sunglasses are designed for general use to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and reduce glare. They are not intended for direct observation of the sun or for use as safety glasses in industrial environments.

• Wearing: Always hold the sunglasses by the frame when putting them on or taking them off to avoid touching the lenses and leaving fingerprints.
• Protection: The lenses provide 100% UV protection, suitable for various outdoor conditions.
• Handling: Avoid placing the sunglasses face down on hard surfaces to prevent scratching the lenses.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Tom Ford sunglasses.

Cleaning the Lenses:

1. Rinse the lenses with lukewarm water to remove any loose dirt or dust.
2. Apply a small drop of mild, pH-neutral soap (like dish soap) to each lens.
3. Gently rub the lenses with your fingertips.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
5. Dry the lenses with a clean, soft microfiber cloth specifically designed for eyewear. Avoid using paper towels or rough fabrics, as these can scratch the lenses.

Cleaning the Frame:

Wipe the frame with a damp, soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, a small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.

Storage:

When not in use, always store your sunglasses in their original protective case to prevent scratches and damage. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme heat (e.g., on a car dashboard), as this can warp the frame or damage the lens coatings.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Loose Screws: If a screw on the hinge or nose pad becomes loose, gently tighten it with a small eyewear screwdriver. Do not overtighten. If you do not have the correct tool or are unsure, consult an optician.
• Scratched Lenses: Minor scratches may be polished by an optician. Deep scratches often require lens replacement.
• Bent Frame: If the frame becomes bent, do not attempt to straighten it yourself, as this can cause breakage. Take the sunglasses to a professional optician for repair.
