What is the company doing in light of COVID-19?

We are determined to maintain the same level of confidence among our customers. Today, our facilities around the world are up and running, including our warehouses, labs and production plants in U.S., Italy and China. We have decided to partially reduce our production to implement strong health and safety protocols. Since Luxottica always maintains good level of inventory, we will have you covered. In terms of safety, our vertically integrated supply chain allows us full visibility of the manufacturing and distribution process. When our products leave our factory, they do so in the safest, cleanest manner, packed and shipped by a carefully trained staff member after undergoing extensive checks.

Are your online deliveries safe? 

When you buy online you avoid close contact with people who might be sick. All our courier service partners have strict protocols in place to ensure all precautionary measures are followed. Depending on the courier, you may even request contactless delivery — in which couriers drop off the package at your door or at a designated location without any personal interaction — to reduce the risk of person-to-person transmission for both you and the courier worker.


Can COVID-19 transmit through eyes?

Current research, which is still evolving, shows that the chance of spreading the virus through the eyes is possible, but rare. Studies found only a small amount of virus in tears of infected individuals. That said, in alignment with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you should take all necessary precautions to avoid touching your eyes.


Do glasses help protect against COVID-19?

While glasses may potentially provide some protection from COVID-19, that protection is limited to the shielded area of the eye. The virus can still reach your eyes from the exposed sides, tops and bottoms of your glasses. In alignment with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you should take all necessary precautions to avoid touching your eyes.


How should I clean my glasses in this period?

While glasses may potentially provide some protection from COVID-19, that protection is limited to the shielded area of the eye. The virus can still reach your eyes from the exposed sides, tops and bottoms of your glasses. In alignment with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you should take all necessary precautions to avoid touching your eyes.


What can I do about increased screen time straining my eyes?

There are many studies that associate prolonged computer use with eye strain and discomfort. Ocular surface dryness (due to infrequent blinking) can result in symptoms. To minimize this, you should follow the 20-20-20 rule: take a break every 20 minutes and look at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. You can also change your computer display brightness, increase font size and minimize glare with proper lighting.

Where are my Costas made?

Most of our Costas are hand assembled in USA, because we have yet to find a machine that does the job as well as a real, live person. We receive parts for our sunglasses from all around the world

Costas assembled in USA are examined by no fewer than eight pairs of eyes before they ever shield yours. It's the only way we know how to keep the high standards we need to confidently back every pair of Costas with a limited warranty. See our Limited Warranty landing page for limited warranty details and limitations.


How to Choose the Best Pair of Sunglasses?

Click here to answer three easy questions, and we can help you find the perfect pair of sunglasses. If you still need help choosing your perfect sunglasses please contact us. We'd love to help you choose the best fit and the right style.


How do I know what pair of sunglasses will fit me?

One size doesn't always fit all. That's why we’re continually innovating new sunglass frame styles. On our website, each sunglass style is labeled as either narrow, regular, or wide fit. Regular fit is our most common. When shopping online, you can choose to filter sunglasses by fit to see which frame options might be best for you. Specific sunglass measurements are available under the “Sunglass Specs” tab on each sunglass detail page. If for any reason the fit just doesn’t work out for you once you’ve received your sunglasses, you can return them! return policy for more details. Start shopping by fit: Narrow | Regular | Wide


How do I care for my Costas?

A lens cleaning solution and our premium microfiber cleaning cloth are your best bets for keeping your Costas in top shape. Keep them in their protective case, away from extreme temperatures (translation: don't leave them on the dash of your pickup). Regular tightening of your hinge screws will also help maintain your frame. Follow these guidelines and your Costas will help you see what's out there for years to come.

What is and is not covered under a Costa limited warranty?

Costa Sunglasses and optical eyeglass frames are warranted against defects in materials or workmanship. Costa will repair or replace (with an identical or reasonably equivalent style), at our option, any product determined by Costa to have a manufacturer's defect. Costa will ask you to cover a processing fee, which includes return shipping and handling, plus applicable tax.

Since our limited warranties vary depending on the type of product you own, see our Limited Warranty page for details, limitations, and costs.

If we determine that the damage to your Costa sunglasses is not a defect in materials or workmanship (for example, wear and tear, accidental damage, scratched lenses, broken hinges, misuse or other problems not covered by one of our limited warranties), you may still take advantage of our Repair Program. Please note that our Repair Program is not available for your Costa Optical eyeglass frames or for lenses supplied by your Eye Care Practitioner.


How do I send my Costas in for warranty or repair work?

For non-prescription sunglasses, limited edition sunglasses, and special collection sunglasses, you should create an account and then visit our Customer Care Service to begin the Limited Warranty or Repair Program process. Follow the steps through the Customer Care Service and after completion, print the shipping label. You are responsible for the cost of shipping your sunglasses to Costa. We advise using USPS priority mail as they provide a tracking number for your shipment.

Please note that we do not accept cash, checks, or money orders as a form of payment.

Prescription sunglasses must be returned to your Eye Care Practitioner. Please note that our Repair Program is not available for your Costa Optical eyeglass frames or for lenses supplied by your Eye Care Practitioner.


What happens after I send my Costas in for warranty or repair work?

Once we receive the sunglasses, we'll confirm whether the issue is covered by one of our limited warranties. If not, we’ll determine the required repairs and reach out to you with our evaluation results, recommended next steps, and associated costs.

We will communicate primarily through email, so be sure to use an email address you check often and make sure we're not in your spam filter!


How much does it cost to repair my Costas under the Repair Program?

Every repair is different. And since we look at each one individually, repair costs will vary. Please see our Repair Program for more information. You will also be charged for shipping and handling and applicable tax.


Does changing or modifying my lenses on my own accord void my warranty?

If your Costa lenses or frames have been changed or modified by anyone other than Costa and an issue arises, the issue will not be deemed a defect in materials or workmanship, and therefore will not be covered by a Costa limited warranty.


My Costa lenses are scratched. Is this covered under warranty?

Scratched lenses are only covered under our Prescription Sunglass Limited Warranty. Scratched lenses are not covered under Costa’s other limited warranties.

Under our Repair Program, you may be able to have your scratched lenses replaced for a fee. Please see our Repair Program for more information.


Can I order replacement nose pads for my Costas?

Replacement nose pads are available for many of our metal frames and can be ordered over the phone at 1-855-692-6782.


How do I make a warranty claim or repair my prescription Costas?

If your prescription lenses and/or frames are covered by a Costa limited warranty or are in need of a repair, please contact your Eye Care Practitioner. Costa prescription sunglasses must be returned to your Eye Care Practitioner and cannot be returned directly to Costa for repair work or for a warranty claim.

Find an Authorized Costa Eye Care Professional.


How long does it take to have my Costas returned back to me after submitting a warranty claim or repair?

The average turnaround on is three weeks.

The fastest way for you to get back on the water is to preapprove the warranty processing fee or any repair costs during the online warranty claim or repair order. We will communicate primarily through email, so be sure to use an email address you check often and make sure we're not in your spam filter!
