Check the measurements shown on the product page and compare them with a pair that already fits comfortably. Frame width, lens width, bridge width and temple length provide a more reliable guide than face shape alone.

Frame width is the complete width of the front. Lens width measures one lens at its widest point. Bridge width is the distance between the lenses, while temple length measures the arms from the hinges to their ends.

Face-shape guides can provide inspiration, but they are not strict rules. Choose a frame whose proportions feel balanced, fit securely and reflect your personal style.

We aim to represent every colour accurately. Screen settings, lighting and natural variations in recycled or patterned materials may cause small differences in tone and finish.

The frame should sit comfortably without pressing the temples, repeatedly sliding down the nose or touching your cheeks. Your eyes should appear reasonably centred within the lenses.

If you already use comfortable ready-to-wear readers, your current strength provides a useful starting point. Otherwise, use our Reading Strength Guide and choose the lowest strength that makes ordinary text comfortably clear.

No. It provides general shopping guidance and does not perform an eye examination, diagnose an eye condition or issue an optical prescription.

The plus number indicates the magnifying power of the lenses for near tasks. Higher numbers provide stronger near assistance, but stronger does not necessarily mean more suitable.

Yes. Standard ready-to-wear readers use the same spherical power in both lenses. They do not correct differences between the eyes, astigmatism or other individual prescription requirements.

Possibly, but computer screens are normally viewed farther away than books or phones. A strength that works for close reading may feel too strong for screen work.

No. Standard reading glasses are intended for close-up tasks and should not be used for driving or activities requiring clear distance vision.

Lens specifications are displayed on each product page. Where stated, Oceanides sunglasses feature UV400 lenses designed to protect against UVA and UVB radiation.

Polarised lenses are included where this is expressly stated in the product description. Check the specifications of your selected model before purchasing.

Polarised lenses are designed to reduce reflected glare from surfaces such as water, roads and glass.

No. Sunglasses are not designed for direct observation of the sun, artificial UV sources or solar eclipses.

Check the lens category and use restrictions shown on the product or packaging. Very dark lenses may not be suitable for driving, particularly at night or in low-light conditions.

Our eyewear collections use recycled plastic selected and processed for frame production. The specific material information for each model is displayed on its product page.

Recycled and patterned materials may show subtle variations in colour, transparency or texture. These small differences can make each frame visually distinctive without affecting its intended function.

Our process includes selecting suitable recovered material, transforming it into recycled pellets, developing the frame design, manufacturing the components and inspecting the finished product.

Check the symbols and disposal instructions on each packaging component. Recycling requirements vary by location, so follow the guidance provided by your local authority.

Avoid abrasive cloths, household cleaners, solvents, alcohol-based products and excessive heat unless the product instructions expressly permit them.

Keep your glasses inside their protective case or cover when they are not being worn. Avoid placing the lenses face down on hard or rough surfaces.

Yes. Do not leave the glasses on a car dashboard, next to a strong heat source or anywhere exposed to unusually high temperatures.

Use both hands whenever possible. This helps reduce unnecessary pressure on the hinges and keeps the frame correctly aligned.
