FAQ

Please contact an optical, bicycle or sports dealer. They will be happy to order your desired sports glasses. Many retailers are already our customers. 

Many of our products are always in stock and usually arrive at the dealer within 1-2 days. We ask for your understanding should an item be sold out and thus the delivery is delayed. Swiss Eye will of course inform the specialized shop about the status of your order.

For the current products we have spare parts in stock (nose pads etc.). Here we ask you to contact your specialized shop.

You can find more information under downloads or on our YouTube channel.

Due to the many different options, the range is wider than with direct glazing. Nevertheless, one also comes here into a range that may not be technically feasible to make it comfortable for the wearer. This should also be clarified by an optician.
