Frequently Asked Questions

How do the magnetic clip-on sunglasses attach to Cool Clip frames?

Cool Clip frames feature small, precision-placed magnetic attachment points built into the frame front. The matching clip-on sunglasses have corresponding magnets that align with these points, allowing the clip to snap securely into place with a simple motion. The magnetic hold is strong enough to keep the clip-on secure during normal activities like walking, driving, or bending over, but releases easily when you want to remove it. No tools, screws, or complicated mechanisms are required—just position the clip near the frame and the magnets do the rest.

Can I get prescription lenses in both the frame and the clip-on?

The Cool Clip system is designed with prescription lenses in the base frame only. The magnetic clip-on attachment comes with non-prescription polarized sunglass lenses that provide UV protection and glare reduction. This design allows you to use your regular prescription for clear vision while adding sun protection when needed. If you require prescription sunglasses with a different lens power (such as for specific outdoor activities), you would need a separate pair of prescription sunglasses.

Are Cool Clip frames durable enough for daily wear?

Yes, Cool Clip frames are constructed from durable materials designed to withstand daily use. Many models feature spring hinges that provide flex and reduce stress on the frame when putting them on or taking them off. The magnetic attachment points are embedded securely in the frame material and engineered to maintain their hold through thousands of attachment cycles. The frames are also designed to maintain proper alignment so the clip-on continues to fit flush against the lenses over time.

What happens if I lose the magnetic clip-on attachment?

Replacement clip-on attachments can typically be ordered separately for Cool Clip frames. Since each clip-on is designed to match a specific frame model, you'll need to know your frame's model number (such as CC823 or CC840) to order the correct replacement. Contact Designer Optics customer service with your frame information, and they can help you source a replacement clip-on that matches your frame's size, shape, and magnetic attachment configuration.

Do the clip-on lenses provide UV protection?

Yes, Cool Clip magnetic clip-on lenses are polarized and provide 100% UVA and UVB protection. The polarization also reduces glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, car hoods, and pavement, which improves visual comfort and reduces eye strain during outdoor activities and driving. This makes Cool Clip frames particularly useful for people who spend significant time outdoors or behind the wheel.

Are Cool Clip frames suitable for strong prescriptions?

Cool Clip frames can accommodate a range of prescription strengths, though the suitability depends on the specific frame size and your prescription requirements. Larger frame sizes generally work better for higher prescriptions as they allow for thicker lens edges to be properly fitted and edged. When ordering, consult with an optician about your prescription strength and pupillary distance to ensure the frame you choose will work well with your lenses. Some prescriptions may require high-index lenses to reduce thickness and weight.
