4. Installation

Replacing sunglass lenses requires careful handling. Follow these general steps:

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Work on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratching your frames or new lenses.
  2. Remove Old Lenses: Gently push the old lenses out from the front of the frame, starting from the nose bridge side. Apply even pressure. Some frames may require slight flexing.
  3. Insert New Lenses: Align the new Apex Lenses with the frame grooves. Start by inserting the outer edge of the lens into the frame, then carefully work your way around, applying gentle pressure until the lens snaps securely into place. Ensure the lens is fully seated in the frame.
  4. Inspect: Check that both lenses are firmly in place and there are no gaps.

If you encounter difficulty, consult a professional optician or search for specific installation guides for your Armani AR8118 frame model.

5. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the clarity of your Apex Lenses.

  • Cleaning: Use a microfiber cloth and a lens cleaning spray specifically designed for eyewear. Avoid using paper towels, clothing, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the lens coating.
  • Storage: Store your sunglasses in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
  • Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not leave your sunglasses in direct sunlight in a hot car, as extreme heat can damage lens coatings and frames.
  • Handling: Always hold your sunglasses by the frame, not by the lenses, to avoid smudges and potential damage.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Apex Lenses, consider the following:

  • Lenses Don't Fit: Double-check that your sunglass model is indeed Armani AR8118. Refer to Section 3 for verification. Ensure you are inserting the lenses correctly, applying gentle, even pressure.
  • Scratches or Damage: While Apex Lenses are durable and impact-resistant, they are not scratch-proof. Follow care instructions to minimize wear.
  • Unclear Vision: Ensure lenses are clean and free of smudges. If clarity issues persist, verify the lenses are correctly seated in the frame.
