Do AM Eyewear sunglasses suit larger heads or smaller faces?

Yes. Every AM Eyewear frame is engineered with proportional balance to suit specific face shapes and head sizes. Many styles come in multiple dimensions, with wider fronts, longer temples and ergonomic nose pads for larger heads, and refined slim silhouettes for narrower faces. For the best fit, compare the measurements on the product page with a pair you already own and love.

How do I select the right size sunglasses?

Each product page lists the frame dimensions to guide your choice. If you already own a well-fitting pair, compare the eye, bridge and temple measurements to find a similar fit. This helps ensure the frame sits correctly on your nose, temples and ears for all-day comfort.

Are the lenses polarised? Should I choose polarised or non-polarised lenses?

Many AM Eyewear sunglasses use Zeiss polyamide nylon lenses and selected styles are available with polarised options. Choose polarised lenses if you spend long hours outdoors, are around water, snow or other reflective surfaces, or want maximum glare reduction and contrast. Choose non-polarised lenses if you prioritise colour accuracy, use screens frequently or prefer the most natural visual experience. Both options provide full UV protection and optical-grade clarity.

What is the difference between photochromic, gradient and polarised lenses?

Polarised lenses reduce glare by filtering horizontal light waves, making them ideal for driving, beaches, boating and harsh light environments. Gradient lenses are darker at the top and lighter at the bottom, giving sun protection while still letting you see clearly when reading, using a phone or driving, with an elevated style look. Photochromic lenses automatically adjust their tint based on UV exposure, becoming darker outdoors and lighter indoors, so one pair can adapt to multiple environments. All AM Eyewear lenses offer full UV protection and high optical clarity regardless of type.

What makes Zeiss lenses better than regular sunglasses lenses?

Zeiss lenses are known for precision optics, superior clarity and advanced UV protection. AM Eyewear sunglasses use Zeiss lenses with high-performance coatings to reduce reflections, improve contrast and protect your eyes. This combination delivers sharper vision, reliable sun protection and long-term visual comfort compared to generic sunglass lenses.

How should I clean and care for my sunglasses?

Always clean lenses with a microfibre cloth and lens-safe cleaning spray, avoiding alcohol or harsh chemicals. Rinse under lukewarm water if there is sand, salt or debris on the frame. Store your sunglasses in their case when not in use and avoid leaving them on the car dashboard where heat can warp acetate. Proper care preserves lens coatings, maintains frame integrity and extends the life of your sunglasses.

Not all eyewear is created Equal

See through the difference

CURED ITALIAN ACETATE.

We cure our Italian acetate for an extended period of time in specially designed ovens, ensuring the acetate is in a more stable state when it’s used for production so it’s less likely to warp or twist.

VISOTTICA COMOTEC HINGES.

We use the superior quality of COMOTEC hinges because their Italian made products receive strenuous testing to ensure their hinges don’t fail when they are put through a hard life.

CUSTOM TITANIUM NOSE PADS WITH ION PLATING.

We have specially developed our nosepads using high-grade titanium that is treated with Ion plating. Unlike many others platings, Ion plating is hypoallergenic which is vital because nose pads are in constant contact with the skin.r

JAPANESE TITANIUM.

We use high grade Japanese Titanium because it has the highest strength-to-density ratio of any metallic element, making it very lightweight, strong and it’s also highly resistant to corrosion.

THE BLACK SCREWS.

We use black in colour individually laser cut high grade Stainless steel SS304 screws (normally used for high-end Swiss watches) as they are stronger and do not bur like conventional mould injected optical screws.

18KT GOLD PLATED.

We use 9KT, 18KT or 22KT Gold in the plating of our metal components in order to give our frames the required gold tone to highlight their luxury look.

18KT GOLD PLATED HEX HEAD SCREWS.

Sourced from Swiss watch factories, these are the strongest screws that will never tarnish or burr.

EMBEDDED LOGOS.

We secure our logos by rst laser engraving a cavity, deep embedding them and then applying a layer of epoxy over the top. This leaves our logos smooth to the touch, with a luxurious gold appearance and ensures they do not come free.

I absolutely love my AM Eyewear Schirk sunglasses in Peach Photochromatic - would give 10 stars if I could! The soft peach tone of the frame is so beautiful and flattering, and the lenses are gorgeous to look through. The gold and silver detailing on the temples add such a special, distinctive touch that makes these sunglasses feel extra luxurious. I get so many compliments whenever I wear them. A beautiful combination of style, comfort and individuality. I couldn’t be happier with them!
