Ochis glasses are designed to stay with you for years.
Care Rituals
Small habits that help your glasses last for years.
Put them on and take them off with both hands
One-handed removal twists the frame a little every time. Over months, that's how a pair starts sitting crooked.
Travel with a hard case
Most scratches don't happen while you wear your glasses. They happen in a bag.
Clean with the microfiber cloth
Water and the cloth handle almost everything. A dry lens wiped with a dusty cloth is what leaves fine scratches.
Put them down lenses up
Face-down on a table is the fastest way to scratch a lens. And if it does happen — a scratched lens can always be replaced.
What's normal, not a defect
Natural material behaves differently from plastic. Here's what to expect — none of it is a fault.
The surface lightens
After months of daily wear the finish becomes a little paler. A drop of mineral oil brings it back — see below.
No two frames are identical
The coffee texture runs differently through every batch, so your pair won't match the photos exactly, or anyone else's.
The coffee scent fades
It's strongest in the first weeks and settles down after that. The material hasn't changed.
What to avoid
Heat
A car dashboard, a radiator, hours in direct sun. Heat is the one thing that can change the shape of the frame.
Alcohol and household cleaners
They strip the finish. Water and the microfiber cloth are enough.
Ultrasonic cleaners
Fine for metal frames, not for ours.
Adjusting the Fit
All Ochis frames can be adjusted to fit your face better.
The easiest way is to visit any optician — it takes a minute and they usually do it for free. If you'd rather do it yourself:
Warm the temple tips to around 55 °C (131 °F), then bend them slowly with light pressure.
- Inward if the glasses feel loose
- Outward if they feel too tight
Work in small steps and let the frame cool between them. Bending a cold frame, or forcing a warm one too quickly, can crack a temple — and that turns into a repair. If you're unsure, send us a photo first.
Lens Replacement
Need new prescription lenses later?
No problem. Any experienced optician can replace the lenses in your Ochis frame with prescription, blue-light, photochromic or new sun lenses.
If you need any advice before replacing them, just contact us — we're always happy to help.
Restoration
We developed our own frame restoration technology, allowing us to repair even heavily damaged frames — sometimes even broken in half — with minimal visible traces and full functionality.
Some repairs are paid, depending on the damage. We'll look at your photos and tell you the cost before you send anything.
Restoration Process
1. Contact Us — Tell us what happened and share a few photos of your glasses.
2. Assessment — We carefully evaluate the damage and recommend the best restoration option, with the cost.
3. Send Your Glasses — Ship your frame to our workshop for repair and restoration.
4. Restoration — We repair, restore, polish, and adjust the frame by hand.
5. Return Delivery — Your restored glasses are carefully packed and shipped back to you.
