FAQs

 Should I choose Gent XL or Gent XXL prescription sunglasses? 

Gent XL measures 155mm across the frame, compared with 165mm for Gent XXL. The XL also has a shallower frame and narrower bridge, so the difference goes beyond overall width.

The Gent offers a lower-profile shape, but the right fit depends on your individual measurements and preferences. 

Use our Fitting Guide for a suggested size. Head shape and bridge fit also matter. UK prescription customers can request sample frames to try at home before ordering.

 Are polarised prescription lenses included in the price? 

The starting price includes standard 1.5 single vision, non-polarised prescription sun lenses with full UV400 protection and an anti-scratch coating.

Polarised lenses are an optional upgrade to help reduce reflected glare from surfaces such as roads and water. Bifocals, thinner lenses and additional coatings also cost extra.

Use Select lenses to explore the options and see your updated total before adding your sunglasses to the cart.

 How do I order and send you my prescription? 

Choose your frame and lens-colour combination, then tap Select lenses and follow the steps to choose your lenses and upgrades. You can upload a photo or PDF of your prescription, enter the details manually, or choose to email it to us after ordering.

If you choose to send it later, email your prescription to info@fadeddays.co.uk with your order number. Please allow up to 14 calendar days for UK delivery from the date we receive your prescription.
