FAQ's
CLEANING AND CARE
The lens is the surface to be careful with. Use the microfiber cloth included with your glasses, and mild soap and water when they need more than a wipe. Strong cleaners strip the oleophobic coating on the inside of the lens — the layer that keeps skin oil and fingerprints from sticking — and once it's gone, the lens smudges faster and stays smudged.
The frame is far tougher — cleaning gets most makeup and sunscreen off.
IF THEY GET HOT
Left in a hot car, the frame softens. Let them cool on their own, without pulling or bending, and they return to their original shape. The material has a memory — which is also why we ask you not to bend the arms to adjust the fit.
BIODEGRADABLE FRAMES?
Are Saunt Eyewear frames biodegradable? They do not break down fast enough to be considered biodegradable. When the frames do break down, they turn into non-toxic micro plastics.

Choosing the Right Size
Choosing the right eyewear can be a complex process. This guide will help you find your best match. All eyewear has different functional and aesthetic characteristics, so we use three pieces of information to determine the following:
Size Fit Wrap Bridge
What is frame size?
The frame size refers to the horizontal width of the frame, measured between the outer most hinge point of the frame front. Our frames come in one or multiple sizes. See the range in the chart below:
SIZE CHART
How do I find the right size for me?
To find your correct frame size, use a ruler to measure the outer hinge-to-hinge distance of a pair of glasses that you already own and that fits you well. Consider this measurement as a guide point.
What is the fit?
Fit is the functional information which determines the amount of width for a given size.
-
X-Small to Small: provide a narrow fit with less gap at temporal region.
-
Medium: a regular fit for an average face size.
-
Large to X-Large: a wider fit designed for those broader faces.
Frame Wrap
Frame wrap is how tightly the frame and lens wrap to the contour of the head and is determined by:
-
Lens Base Curve: The lower the base curve number that flatter the lens. Flatter lens curves lend themselves to flatter frame designs.
- Frame Design: Based on the desired design and aesthetic, we may wrap the frame more or less with the given lens.
What are the bridge types?
The three bridges:
-
High bridge fit: offers a more secure and comfortable fit for those with a high nose bridge and lower cheekbones. A good choice if the bridge of your nose is above the level of your pupils.
-
Low bridge fit: offers a more secure and comfortable fit for those with a low nose bridge and higher cheekbones. A good choice if eyewear tends to slide down your nose, sit too low, or press on your temples or cheeks.
-
Universal fit: this option accommodates most face shapes.
OPTICS

Polarized lenses enhance your vision cutting glare and reducing eye strain.

Collaboration
Adrian Franks
I don’t remember exactly how Adrian and I(Tom) connected but I do recall seeing his artwork and beyond the bright colors, textures and imagery that evoke a sense of historical context for people of color, he was also drawing eyewear. It’s not every day I see an artist with a keen interest in eyewear so I reached out and asked if he was interested in bringing one of his designs to life, the rest is history.
THE MACHINIST
This style is dedicated to my father, Named “The Machinist” in remembrance father Willie James Franks Jr., who was a Journeyman Master Machinist (Ironman). “The Machinist” frames celebrate the zeal of those who do the work
VIBE ALIGNED
This is a cool style and unlike many designs I(Tom) develop, this took one iteration, one shot and it was right.
Having the process go this smoothly resulting in a keenly unique frame design is really cool and speaks to our energy being in total alignment.
