Care & lens swap
Look after your lens.
A HINDSIGHT lens is engineered to last. Treat the surface like any high-quality optic: clean it gently, store it in the soft case, and swap with care. Both Artemis and Morpheus accept the same lenses, so the steps below apply to either frame.
Swap your lens
The swap is two minutes once you have done it once. Take the time to align the bumps on the first try and the lens snaps in cleanly.
- Pop the lens out. Hold the frame in one hand and press the lens with the thumb of the other until it pops free of the frame.
- Store the removed lens. Place it in the soft pouch the new lens came in. Keep the lenses out of pockets and bags where they can scratch.
- Insert the new lens. Line up the raised bumps on the lens with the grooves on the inside of the frame.
- Check alignment. The mirror bend lines on left and right lens should be parallel. If one looks rotated, rotate the lens slightly until it matches.
- Seat the lens. Wiggle the nose bridge gently. The lens bumps should sit cleanly in the groove on both sides.
- Test. Hold the frame up to a window. The mirror should resolve sharply. If it looks blurry, the bumps are not fully seated. Realign and retry.
Clean the lens
Use a soft, lint-free cloth and warm water. The mirrored coating is durable but it is still optical surface, so the rules for any premium sunglass apply.
- Rinse first. Grit on the lens scratches when you wipe.
- Wipe in straight lines, not circles. Less likely to leave a mark.
- Avoid alcohol-based wipes. They can degrade lens coatings over time.
- Avoid clothing as a wipe (cotton t-shirts, fleece, polyester all pick up grit).
Store the frame
- Use the soft case the frame ships in. Keeps grit off the lens and absorbs minor knocks.
- Avoid leaving the frame on a hot dashboard. Heat softens acetate and can deform the frame over hours.
- Keep both lenses (the day lens and the Night Lens, if you have it) in their pouches when not in the frame.
Adjust the fit
The frame ships with rubber leg grips and rubber nose grips. They are pre-fitted. If the frame slides on the bridge of your nose during a hard ride, swap to the spare nose grip pads in the box.
- Press the old grip out of the nose-bridge slot with a fingernail.
- Press the new grip in until it clicks. Same routine on both sides.
- For a tighter temple grip, slide the rubber leg grip up the temple arm towards the hinge by a few millimetres. The frame will hug the side of the head more firmly.
When to ask for help
If the lens does not seat cleanly, the mirror looks rotated, or the frame arrives damaged, email contact@hindsight.store with the order number and a photo. We aim to reply within one working day.
