Barcelunettes eyewear care and optical guidance

CARE & OPTICAL GUIDANCE

Designed in Barcelona and handcrafted in Japan using premium materials selected for longevity, comfort, and refined visual character.

Prescription Compatibility

All Barcelunettes frames are prescription-ready and can be fitted by a qualified optician using custom optical lenses.

Many clients choose to recreate the original lens aesthetic using bespoke gradient tints, anti-reflective coatings, or sun prescription lenses tailored to their individual requirements.

Our sunglasses are fitted with lightweight polyamide lenses featuring UV400 protection and refined anti-reflective treatments for visual comfort and clarity.


Care & Longevity

Each Barcelunettes frame is handcrafted using premium Japanese acetate and carefully finished metal components. Proper handling and storage will help preserve the integrity of the frame and lenses over time.

  • Store your eyewear inside the supplied case when not in use
  • Clean lenses using water, mild soap, and a microfiber cloth
  • Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials
  • Do not expose frames to excessive heat or prolonged direct sunlight
  • Avoid placing eyewear face-down on hard surfaces

Professional Fit & Adjustment

Each frame is pre-adjusted before delivery, though individual facial structure and prescription requirements may require further refinement by an optician.

For optimal comfort, alignment, and long-term wearability, we recommend periodic professional adjustment when necessary.
