Q: What do the size numbers 52-20-140 mean on these sunglasses? A: They indicate the lens width (52 mm), bridge width (20 mm) and temple length (140 mm). This helps you compare the fit to a pair you already own. The Guinevere cat‑eye frame generally suits small to medium face widths.
Q: Can an optician fit prescription lenses into this frame? A: Often yes. High‑quality acetate frames like this can usually accept prescription sun or clear lenses. Feasibility depends on your prescription, lens thickness and the lens shape. Your optician can assess and fit lenses professionally.
Q: How can I adjust the fit if the frame feels loose or tight? A: Acetate frames should be adjusted by a professional using gentle heat to fine‑tune the temples and bridge. We do not recommend home heating or bending, which can damage the frame or finish.
Q: How should I clean and care for the lenses and frame? A: Rinse off dust with lukewarm water, add a drop of mild dish soap, then dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid paper towels, clothing, hot water, alcohol, acetone and household cleaners that can damage lens coatings. Store the sunglasses in their case when not in use.

Q: Do the lenses offer UV protection and are they polarised? A: Tom Ford sun lenses are designed to provide full UV protection. This pair features brown and blue gradient lenses; they are not described as polarised in the product information. Polarisation reduces glare from water, snow and roads and is separate from UV protection. If a pair is polarised, it will be explicitly stated in the product information.
Q: Are gradient lenses good for driving? A: Gradient lenses are darker at the top and lighter at the bottom, helping reduce overhead glare while keeping dashboards and displays clear. They are for daytime use and are not recommended for night driving. For intense glare (water or snow), consider polarised lenses.
Q: Can an optician fit prescription lenses into this frame? A: Often yes. High‑quality acetate frames like this can usually accept prescription sun or clear lenses. Feasibility depends on your prescription, lens thickness and the lens shape. Your optician can assess and fit lenses professionally.
