Yes as long as the frame has two lenses. Fill out the form on the Hunters HD Gold Website: Rx / Custom Order for further instructions.
No, unfortunately not, we can only make lenses for your frame if it has two separate lenses.
No, our lenses are not scratch-proof. They are treated with a high-quality dual-layer scratch-resistant coating that significantly improves durability against minor abrasions from normal daily handling. However, scratch-resistant does not mean scratch-proof, no lens material or coating can fully prevent scratches in all situations.
Trivex lenses (which we use for their superior impact resistance) are inherently more prone to surface scratches than some other materials if not cared for properly.
To keep your lenses looking clear for as long as possible, we strongly recommend the following care habits:
- Always clean lenses with a microfiber cloth.
- Avoid using paper towels, shirt fabric, or any rough materials, as these can cause micro-scratches.
- Store your eyewear in a protective case when not wearing it.
- Rinse lenses with clean water first to remove dust or debris before wiping, this prevents particles from being rubbed across the surface.
Following these simple steps will greatly extend the life and clarity of your lenses.
If the lenses we make are < / > 1mm your lenses will not fit correctly. It’s truly lenses custom fit for your frame. We have found out that some manufactures will have differences in the frame on the exact same model.
