Q: What do the measurements 57-17-140 mean on these Prada sunglasses? A: They refer to lens width (57 mm), bridge width (17 mm), and temple length (140 mm). A 57 mm lens width is generally on the larger side, so these suit medium-to-large fits. If you’re unsure, compare with a pair you already own or check the Product Size on this page.
Q: Can I fit prescription lenses into this frame? A: In most cases, yes. Full‑rim acetate Prada frames are commonly compatible with prescription (graduated) lenses. Your optician can confirm suitability for your exact prescription and lens type before glazing the frame.
Q: Will the 57 mm lens width fit a smaller face? A: 57 mm is usually a larger fit. If you have a narrow face or low nose bridge, an optician can often fine‑tune acetate frames for comfort by warming and adjusting the temples and fit points.
Q: How should I clean and care for acetate frames and coated lenses? A: Rinse off dust, then wash with lukewarm water and a drop of mild, lotion‑free dish soap. Dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid alcohol, acetone, ammonia, window cleaners, paper towels, and rough fabrics, which can damage coatings and acetate. Store in a protective case when not in use.
Q: How can I check typical authenticity markers on Prada sunglasses? A: Look for crisp Prada logos on the temples, a model code that begins with SPR followed by colour/size numbers (e.g., 57‑17‑140), and “Made in Italy” plus CE/UKCA marks. Many authentic pairs also have a tiny laser etching on the left lens or at the temple tip. Details can vary by production year, so assess overall build quality and markings together.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

A 57 mm lens width is generally on the larger side, so these suit medium-to-large fits. If you’re unsure, compare with a pair you already own or check the Product Size on this page.
Q: Do these Prada sunglasses provide UV protection? A: Yes. Prada sunglasses are specified with 100% UVA/UVB protection on current product pages, helping shield eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Q: Are the lenses polarised? A: This listing notes gradient lenses, not polarised. Prada polarised models are typically marked “Polarized” on the temple; you can also do a quick screen-tilt test with a phone or laptop to check for polarisation if needed.
Q: Can I fit prescription lenses into this frame? A: In most cases, yes. Full‑rim acetate Prada frames are commonly compatible with prescription (graduated) lenses. Your optician can confirm suitability for your exact prescription and lens type before glazing the frame.

Avoid alcohol, acetone, ammonia, window cleaners, paper towels, and rough fabrics, which can damage coatings and acetate. Store in a protective case when not in use.
Q: Can scratched lenses be polished out? A: Most scratches on modern coated lenses cannot be safely polished away at home. The reliable solution is lens replacement by an optician or specialist lab.

Many authentic pairs also have a tiny laser etching on the left lens or at the temple tip. Details can vary by production year, so assess overall build quality and markings together.
Q: Are gradient lenses good for driving? A: Often yes. The darker upper tint helps reduce overhead glare while the lighter lower portion keeps the dashboard readable. For glare off water or wet roads, polarised lenses are typically more effective than non‑polarised gradients.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. This listing is noted as having no extras included. If you would like confirmation, please contact us before purchase.
