What are the common types of contact lenses?

+

There are two general types of lenses: soft and rigid gas permeable. Based on your vision health and lifestyle needs, your optometrist will recommend the contact lenses that are most appropriate for you. Soft contact lenses are comfortable and made of flexible plastics that allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea. Users get accustomed to wearing them within several days. Most soft-contact wearers are prescribed some type of frequent replacement schedule. An example of this is a schedule that calls for the lenses to be replaced with new ones after two weeks of use with lenses removed nightly for cleaning. Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses are durable, resistant to deposit buildup, and generally allow for clear, crisp vision. They last longer than soft contacts, and also are easier to handle and less likely to tear. However, they may take a few weeks of getting used to. Other specific common types of lenses: Extended Wear Contacts are good for overnight or continuous wear ranging from one to six nights, or up to 30 days. It's important for your eyes to go without lenses for at least one night following each scheduled removal. Disposable (Replacement Schedule) Contacts. Some soft contacts referred to as 'disposable' by sellers are actually worn on a frequent replacement schedule-for two weeks, for example-that requires them to be disinfected between uses. Based on your vision health and lifestyle needs, your optometrist can recommend the contact lenses that are most appropriate for you.**

Please contact our customer service team after that time period if you still have problems adapting to your new lenses.

You should not experience blurred vision, eyestrain or headaches during the adjustment period. If you experience any of these, we recommend calling customer care on (1-877-7-LENSCRAFTERS or 1-877-753-6727).

How do I use my new Progressive lenses?

+

Progressive lenses have different viewing zones so that adjustments can be made for both near and far vision. To move from looking at a distance to reading, move your eyes down the lens rather than lowering your head. Clarity might be slightly different in different areas of the lens, especially in the periphery. You might experience some distortion on the sides of the lenses. To look at something to the side, slightly turn your head to make sure you use the central portion of the lens. Play with these movements to learn how to maximize clarity for different uses.

+

Your prescription might have been optimized. This means that it was adjusted to work best with the frame you selected. It also means it might be slightly different from your original prescription. If your prescription was optimized, you will have received an additional document with your glasses. Be sure to share this with your Doctor in case you want your glasses to be inspected, but keep in mind this may differ from your actual prescription.

Why is UV (ultra-violet) protection important?

+

Ultraviolet radiation is very harmful to our eyes. Even though we cannot see it around us it is there, a good pair of sunglasses can protect our eyes from damage. Glasses that have a deep dark tint to them do not necessarily have a lot of UV protection. The UV rating should be marked somewhere on the (plano) glasses in order for you to tell how protective they are. Prescribed sun lenses UV blockage is noted on the customer paperwork in the lab that manufactures them. Sunglasses with a rating of UV400 are the best** and they have been tested to block out 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays. Even with sunglasses on you should never look directly into the sun. UVA does the 'aging' damage, UVB does the 'burning' damage. For more information on ultraviolet light, please visit our vision guide.

What is the difference between nearsightedness and farsightedness?**

+

Nearsightedness (also known as myopia) occurs when objects close up remain clear, and objects in the distance are blurry. Farsightedness (also known as hyperopia) is when objects close up are blurry, but those in the distance are clear. When looking at your prescription, a plus sign next to the numbers means you're farsighted, and a minus sign means you're nearsighted. Visit a LensCrafters store for more help understanding your prescription

Do I need a prescription for colored or theatrical contact lenses?

+

A valid contact lens prescription is required in order to purchase any type of contact lenses, even if you do not need them for vision correction. A contact lens fitting will measure the curve and diameter of your eye, and help ensure the health of your eyes, so you can feel confident about an accurate fit. If a lens is not properly fitted, it can shift, causing irritation, scratching, or other problems. You can schedule an eye exam with an Independent Doctor of Optometry* at LensCrafters online by clicking on Schedule Eye Exam and entering your location. If you prefer to schedule your exam over the phone, please contact our customer care representatives (1-877-7-LENSCRAFTERS or 1-877-753-6727) or the Doctor's office at the location you wish to visit.

What vision issues should I be aware of as I age?

+

Your eyes can sometimes be affected by conditions you were born with or those that develop as you grow older. Help keep your eyes healthy by not smoking and eating lots of green, leafy vegetables. Vision problems can occur at any time, but you are more likely to develop problems if you are over 40, because conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts are more frequent in older people, as are dry eye and low vision. Diabetes poses special eye health problems at any age, so be sure to share your condition with your eye doctor if you have it or develop it in later years.

When should my child have an eye exam*?

+

Generally, children should have their vision checked at 6 months, 3 years, and before first grade. These exams should be done during preventative pediatrician visits using a preschool eye screening. All children should also be screened for lazy eye at age four to five. If your children have not been screened, or if you notice they're having problems with vision, squinting, headaches or other symptoms, then consider taking them to an eye doctor for an eye examination.**

Why is face shape important?

+

Understanding your face shape can help you find the best frames to flatter your look. For example, round frames tend to look best on square faces because they help soften the features, while rectangular frames can help a round face appear longer and slimmer. If you're not sure which eyeglasses fit your face shape, use our face shape tool for recommendations hand-picked for you. You can even upload your own photo for a perfect match.

How do I care for contact lenses?

+

Follow the care directions inside your box of contacts to avoid possible vision problems. Disposable, extended-wear soft lenses are easy to upkeep, while conventional soft lenses need extensive care.

+

Responsible shipping is fulfilled by logistics providers using solutions to reduce emissions. Delivery may take up to (00) business days.

This shipping option consists of either:

2. Emission compensation program (if provided by selected transportation carriers): providers calculate carbon emissions from pickup to delivery; the carbon emissions are then offset through climate protection projects including reforestation, renewable energy, waste disposal, wind power and others, supported by the logistics providers. The carbon neutral service is verified by a certified auditing company (i.e. Société Générale de Surveillance).

Below the list of the logistics providers that can provide emissionscompensation:
- UPS (itself or in partnership with USPS): https://about.ups.com/us/en/our-company/governance/carbon-neutral-credentials.html

What is macular degeneration?

+

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of vision loss for people over 50. It occurs when the delicate cells of the macula - the small, central part of the retina responsible for the center of our field of vision - become damaged and stop working. There are two types of AMD: the 'dry' form and the more severe 'wet' form. Dry AMD is the mostmore common, developing over time and usually causing only mild loss of vision. The wet form accounts for 10 to 15 per cent of all AMD, but the risk of sight loss is much greater. Because macular degeneration is an age-related process, both eyes are usually affected, but not always at the same time. For more information about macular degeneration please visit our vision guide.

How long can I wear my contacts?

Are readers good enough for me?

How often should I clean my glasses?

+

You should clean your lenses and frame often, ideally at least once a day. Body oils contain acids and can damage the lenses if left on the surface.

What is the best way to clean my glasses?

+

Using a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly with warm, not hot, water or use an approved eyewear cleaner. Dry your lenses with a clean, soft cloth made from cotton, terry or microfiber.

If your lenses aren’t too dusty, use the supplied cleaning cloth to remove smudges and fingerprints without liquid. In general, avoid wiping lenses dry if water is unavailable. Wash the cloth periodically.

Do not use paper products of any kind to clean lenses to avoid scratches and damage to your lenses.

How can I avoid damaging my glasses?

+

Avoid exposing lenses to hairspray, abrasive cleaners, household (window) spray cleaners, chemicals, ammonias, or bleaches. You should also avoid placing your glasses in any area of excessive heat such as car dashboards, home radiators or stove tops, since lens coatings may deteriorate and damage the frame or loosen frame alignment.

To help prevent scratches, do not lay your glasses face down. Always keep your eyeglasses in a clean case when not in use.

What are the benefits of Polarized lenses?

+

Polarized lenses help improve clarity while allowing for enhanced depth perception and visual acuity by reducing the glare from reflective surfaces. They also help to enhance contrast and reduce strain on your eyes.

When wearing polarized lenses for the first time you may see patterns in windows, LC Displays, car instruments, etc. This is normal for polarized lenses.

How do photochromic lenses work?

+

Photochromic lenses darken quickly as you go outdoors. On sunny days the darkening will reach full potential, on cloudy days they will darken less. The temperature will influence the amount and speed of change. Please note that lenses will not darken as much inside a car as outside the car.

Transitions™ is the brand name of a specific type of photochromic lens that we are pleased to be able to offer at LensCrafters.

What are progressives lenses and how do I use them?

+

Progressive lenses have different viewing zones so that adjustments can be made for both near and far vision. To move from looking at a distance to reading, move your eyes down the lens rather than lowering your head. Clarity might be slightly different in different areas of the lens, especially in the periphery. You might experience some distortion on the sides of the lenses. To look at something to the side, slightly turn your head to make sure you use the central portion of the lens. Play with these movements to learn how to maximize clarity for different uses.

What are Transitions™ photochromic lenses?

+

Transitions™ lenses are photochromic lenses that darken quickly as you go outdoors. On sunny days the darkening will reach full potential, on cloudy days they will darken less. The temperature will influence the amount and speed of change. Please note that lenses will not darken as much inside a car as outside the car.

Introduction to hearing loss

+

Hearing is one of the most important senses which allows us to perceive our surroundings, communicate, create connections, learn, and enjoy meaningful activities. Hearing loss is a prevalent condition that impacts millions of individuals worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that over 1.5 billion people – or 1 in 5 of the global population – experience it in some form. This condition is characterized by a diminished ability to hear clearly, resulting in challenges in understanding speech and engaging in conversations.

The instances of hearing loss rises significantly with age, affecting 25% of individuals over the age of 60 and 50% for those over 75.

Ultimately, untreated hearing loss affects quality of life, often leading to isolation. It has been associated with serious conditions such as depression, anxiety, dementia, and reduced mobility.

What are the causes of hearing loss?

+

Hearing loss can result from various factors. What are the common causes?

  • Aging – The natural aging process can lead to a gradual decline in hearing sensitivity. It typically begins around age 50 and affects high frequency sounds. It manifests in difficulties understanding speech in noisy environments.
  • Noise exposure – Prolonged exposure to loud noises, such as loud music or machinery, can damage the structures of the ear, resulting in hearing loss.
  • Medical conditions – Some medical conditions like ear infections or ear-specific diseases can contribute to hearing loss.
  • Genetics – Genetic factors can also play a significant role in hearing loss, usually for severe or profound hearing loss.

How do I know if I have hearing loss?

+

Usually, the first signs of hearing loss are difficulties understanding speech in challenging situations, such as speaking with multiple people or in environments with a lot of background noise, like crowded restaurants. Other symptoms may be perceiving speech as mumbled or too fast, needing to ask for repetitions, and complaints from family members. People close to you will often notice your hearing loss before you do. Hearing loss may also cause listening effort – the feeling that you have to strain to understand speech and that conversations cause fatigue. Consult a health provider when you notice one or more of these symptoms. They may recommend an ENT exam to check the physical condition of the ears and get a referral for a professional diagnostic hearing test, performed by an Audiologist.

What is a hearing test?

+

A hearing test, or audiometry, measures the softest sounds a person can hear in different tones and in speech sounds. During this test you may hear very soft pure tone sounds, ranging from low frequencies (bass) to high frequencies (treble). You may be asked to signal when you hear them. You should initially hear the sounds via air-conduction headphones to determine the threshold of hearing. Then, if hearing loss is detected, the sounds could be delivered via a bone-conduction transducer to locate the site of the damage in the auditory system. The hearing test may also incorporate speech reception tests, which indicate the softest speech sounds you can hear, and word recognition (or discrimination) tests. Here, speech may be presented at a comfortable level, and the Audiologist could measure how many sounds you can hear clearly. The outcome of the test may be an Audiogram, a visual depiction of your hearing capability. The graph specifies the hearing threshold for different frequencies for the right and left ear. An audiologist can interpret these results and determine the existence, degree, type, and shape of your hearing loss.

Are there different levels of hearing loss?

+

Many people tend to underestimate their hearing condition because they notice they can still hear some sounds, leading them to believe that their hearing is not completely lost. However, varying levels of hearing loss present differently, and medical hearing tests performed by audiologists play a crucial role in accurately determining the degree of impairment. In practical terms, hearing loss ranges in severity from mild to profound. You should always consult with a hearing health professional to get advice on your hearing condition and explore available treatment options.

People with mild hearing loss usually do not have difficulties understanding speech in optimal conditions, for example facing a single speaker in a quiet room, though they may struggle in sub-optimal conditions. Typical challenges for people with mild hearing loss are difficulties understanding speech in group settings or when background noise is present, such as restaurants or crowded train stations. The over-the-counter hearing aid solution provided by Nuance Audio Glasses is specifically designed to overcome these challenges. It can help focus on the person you want to hear and enhances their voice over the background noise.

People with moderate hearing loss may face difficulties even in optimal conditions and may feel that speech sounds too soft or muffled. They may ask for repetitions when talking to people and exert more effort in communication. They usually experience difficulties when they cannot see the speaker, for example when listening to the TV or radio. Nuance Audio Glasses provides amplification that may help with these issues.

If you have trouble hearing conversations in quiet settings—or have trouble hearing loud sounds, such as cars or trucks, noisy appliances, or loud music—consult a hearing health professional. These are signs that you may have a more severe hearing loss. People with severe or profound hearing loss face significant challenges transforming sounds into meaningful speech without the help of very strong hearing aids or cochlear implants.

Are there different types of hearing loss?

+

There are three types of hearing loss, depending on the location of the damage. These types differ in their causes and treatment options.

Should I see a doctor if I think I have hearing loss?

+

If you have any of the problems listed below, please see a doctor, preferably an ear-nose-throat doctor (ENT):

  • Your ear has a birth defect or an unusual shape.
  • Your ear was injured or deformed in an accident.
  • You saw blood, pus, or fluid coming out of your ear in the past 6 months.
  • Your ear feels painful or uncomfortable.
  • You have a buildup of earwax, or you think something could be in your ear.
  • You get dizzy or you have a feeling of spinning or swaying (called vertigo).
  • Your hearing changed suddenly in the past 6 months.
  • Your hearing changes: it gets worse then gets better again.
  • You have worse hearing in one ear.
  • You hear ringing or buzzing in only one ear.

How does Nuance Audio Glasses address hearing loss?

+

Nuance Audio Glasses are meant to provide amplification and ease of conversation for adults 18 years and older with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss, helping them hear speech more clearly in challenging situations. Let’s dive into some of the unique features of Nuance Audio Glasses.

  • An invisible hearing solution.
  • Only 30% of American adults aged 70+ who are affected by hearing loss and could benefit from hearing aids, actually use them. In adults aged 20-69 (Approximately 16% of those suffering from hearing loss) the numbers are even lower.
  • One of the main reasons for that is stigma – people sometimes think that using hearing aids makes them look less capable, or older, than they are. This is a real barrier to improved quality of life. Nuance Audio Glasses offers the benefits of a hearing aid with a discreet design. Our hearing technology is not visible to the naked eye. What you see is a stylish pair of eyeglasses–the fast-acting sound system is built into the temples and completely unnoticeable.
  • A real improvement in understanding speech in noisy environments. A very common complaint of hearing aid users is that they have difficulty understanding speech in noisy surroundings, even while wearing their hearing aids. Our discreet solution is easy to use and allows you to amplify your preferred sound source when facing it, enhancing it over the background noise, when using the Frontal mode which uses beamforming directional microphones. One of the most effective ways to improve speech understanding in noisy environments is to separate the speaker you want to listen to and the rest of the environment. Hearing aids are limited in their ability to do so. Our Nuance Audio Glasses feature an array of multiple microphones embedded in the temples, as well as advanced directional algorithms that are able to capture the sounds you want to hear. Our technology offers you the best solution in noisy situations with up to a 44% improvement in speech understanding in background noise.
  • Nuance Audio Glasses are not limited to assisting those with hearing loss. Their effective support extends to various scenarios, including noisy restaurant dinners or business meetings. Nuance Audio Glasses serves as a booster, enhancing everyone's experience in such situations.
  • An effortless journey. A known barrier to hearing aid adaptation is the effort involved in purchasing, fitting, and adjusting to hearing aids. Nuance Audio Glasses offers an innovative approach to hearing rehabilitation. This discreet and stylish Italian-designed smart eyewear ensures a uniquely smooth experience. Prioritizing user convenience, Nuance Audio Glasses are readily available at your local eyewear store, making them easy to access, use, adjust, and manage. An intuitive Nuance Audio App, mobile application, will assist you with choosing the best sound for you, supporting independent user changes anytime, anywhere, eliminating visits to the healthcare clinic as you gain complete control over the device’s sound configuration.
  • Improved quality of life. Consistent use of hearing aids has a positive impact on the quality of life by enhancing social participation, engagement, and relief from the cognitive effort associated with hearing difficulties. Nuance Audio Glasses eliminates common barriers such as stigma, cost, effort, and functionality, making it an increasingly appealing choice. Specifically designed for individuals with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss, Nuance Audio Glasses offers a hassle-free experience comparable to wearing regular glasses. This wear-and-go solution includes personalized prescription lenses and delivers amplified, clear, and natural sound. The comfort and ease of use encourage users to wear Nuance Audio Glasses throughout the day, providing consistent auditory stimulation for the long-term maintenance of proper hearing function.

What are Nuance Audio Glasses?

+

Nuance Audio Glasses are not a mere "sound amplifier", but a proper medical device. They are eyewear frames embedded with groundbreaking technology which seamlessly integrate an air conduction hearing aid (over-the-counter "OTC", in the United States) intended to amplify sound for adult users (18yrs and older) with a perceived mild to moderate hearing impairment. Nuance Audio Glasses may, if necessary, be used in association with prescription lenses for those adults who also require correction of visual defects. Nuance Audio Glasses can be worn all day and can be easily configured via the App to adapt to any situation, from business meetings to family time.

  • Discreet open-ear technology
  • Comfortable and stylish design
  • Ease of use and the appearance of traditional eyeglasses
  • Vision and hearing benefits in one seamless solution (optional)

What is an OTC (Over the Counter) hearing aid?

+

In the United States, Nuance Audio Glasses utilize Nuance Audio Hearing Aid Software to deliver hearing amplification for adults (18 years and older) with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss without the need to see a hearing care professional and was cleared by the FDA on January 31, 2025. Over the Counter (OTC) hearing aids are medical devices regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA created guidelines and quality standards for OTC hearing aids and regulates all hearing aids to ensure safety and effectiveness for consumers. This means a prescription from a licensed professional isn't required and you must be 18+ years to purchase. OTC hearing aids are intended for those who have perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. A hearing test is not required to purchase OTC hearing aids.

Why is Nuance Audio Glasses the right solution for my hearing loss?

+

Nuance Audio Glasses is a perfect solution for people with mild to moderate hearing loss, or those who find it challenging to understand speech in noisy situations.

  • Seek more social engagement and are motivated to find solutions that enhance your ability to connect with family and friends
  • Want a solution that improves your quality of life, sensory experience, and overall wellbeing
  • Value style and appearance, preferring products that align with your personal taste and make you feel confident

Nuance Audio Glasses addresses mild to moderate hearing loss guaranteeing invisibility, simplicity, and comfort with the best value for money.

Wearing Nuance Audio Glasses addresses the audibility challenge by providing amplification and enhancing the clarity of the speaker you are facing. These glasses feature an innovative microphone array and groundbreaking directional amplification technology, creating a focused beam in the direction you are looking. The sound in this targeted area is amplified, while the surrounding areas remain unaffected. This results in maximum amplification for the person directly in front of you, effectively addressing the challenge of understanding speech in noisy environments for those with mild to moderate hearing loss. Our advanced directional amplification technology, coupled with open ears and natural sound, allows you to effortlessly catch up on sounds that may be missed, especially in noisy surroundings. Nuance Audio Glasses not only offers comfort and convenience but also ensures high-performance sound quality.

Can these glasses replace/or be used with my hearing aids?

+

Nuance Audio Glasses can be used as a hearing aid for people with mild to moderate hearing loss. Currently, it is not made to be used in conjunction with hearing aids.

Is the Nuance Audio hearing aid suitable for me if I only have hearing loss in one ear or I perceive worse hearing in one ear versus the other ear?

+

The Nuance Audio Hearing Aid Software is compatible with the Nuance Audio Glasses, and delivers the same amplification to each ear. Once you have chosen a preset based on your listening preference (A, B, C or D), you may also adjust the volume setting to meet your hearing needs.

NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU SEE A DOCTOR, PREFERABLY AN EAR-NOSE-THROAT DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE PERCEIVED WORSE HEARING IN ONE EAR BEFORE USING AN OTC HEARING AID.

Is Nuance Audio Glasses suitable for me if I have tinnitus?

+

Nuance Audio Glasses are not intended to help out in case of Tinnitus. However, studies show that the use of hearing aids may assist in reduced perceptual burden of Tinnitus, due to the acoustic masking. In that case, you may feel your Tinnitus less when using the glasses, as you will get more amplification of the external sounds around you.

Would I still benefit from Nuance Audio Glasses if I have normal hearing and don't want to take a hearing test?

+

Yes. Nuance Audio Glasses provides significant benefits for people without hearing loss. People with normal hearing may seek more speaker clarity in challenging situations and noisy environments. While some people may not struggle to understand speech, they might still seek some relief from the listening effort that is usually required when holding a conversation in a noisy environment, or with multiple speakers. This is where Nuance Audio Glasses steps in. Nuance Audio Glasses are beneficial as they amplify sounds coming from the direction the listener is facing, thus improving how loud the target speaker can be heard as compared to the surroundings.

What are the benefits of Nuance Audio Glasses vs other "OTC" or traditional hearing aids?

+

There are several differences between Nuance Audio Glasses and traditional hearing aids:

  • Style: Nuance Audio Glasses relies on EssilorLuxottica R&D skills, craftsmanship capabilities, and design expertise. As a result, Nuance Audio Glasses seamlessly integrates its technology within a stylish frame.
  • Comfort: People who use other OTC or traditional hearing aids tend to complain about discomfort in the ear canal. Nuance Audio Glasses offers vision and hearing benefits in one seamless product. The open-ear solution eliminates the discomfort commonly associated with inside-the-ear traditional aids.
  • Directionality: This allows the listener to focus on the speaker they are facing when used in "Frontal" audio mode. For those times when you prefer to experience your surroundings without emphasizing the front, Nuance Audio Glasses also offers the “All-around” audio mode, which amplifies without utilizing the directional algorithm.
  • Simplicity: No fitting/configuration is required. You can adjust your Nuance Audio Glasses settings from your Nuance Audio App very easily. Nuance Audio Glasses has been designed to be simple to use and does not require customers to be tech-savvy. You can easily configure Nuance Audio Glasses via the companion Nuance Audio App, choosing the (i) preset program (four options available) that best suits your profile, as well as further personalizing the hearing support by playing with (ii) "volume", (iii) "background noise", and (iv) "audio mode" settings. All these 4 settings are available on the Nuance Audio App home page.
  • Accessibility: Unlike traditional hearing aids, Nuance Audio Glasses is an Over-the-Counter product that can be bought directly in-store. Hearing tests and hearing status certification are not required.

Is there a price advantage compared to traditional non-OTC hearing solutions?

+

Yes! Nuance Audio Glasses are around one quarter of the cost of an average traditional non-OTC hearing aid. They can also turn into a 2-in-1 solution as Nuance Audio Glasses are able to carry prescription lenses (at an additional cost). Hence, your total costs may be less than purchasing equivalent prescription glasses and non-OTC hearing aids separately.

Does Nuance Audio Glasses use bone conduction?

+

No, the glasses do not use bone conduction, but air conduction. They use directional speakers embedded in the frame, near your ears.

Can people nearby hear the amplified audio?

+

The people around you (at a casual distance) should not hear or be disturbed by the amplified sounds.

Can I take calls through Nuance Audio Glasses?

+

You cannot take phone calls through the speakers on your glasses. However, you can continue to make calls as normal (holding the phone close to your ear, using speakerphone mode, or wearing wireless headphones).

Will Nuance Audio Glasses help me while watching TV or talking on the phone?

+

When watching TV, the effectiveness of the product depends on acoustic variables like the direction of the speakers, the location of the TV (near/far from the wall), and other factors. We recommend you watch TV with the audio on (try both "frontal" and "all-around" audio modes) and see if that helps.

What's the amplification distance range for Nuance Audio Glasses?

+

While this may vary depending on your surroundings (such as the absence of barriers and background noise), Nuance Audio Glasses's amplification of nearby sounds is estimated to have a range of 9 feet / 3 meters.

What should I do before I wear my Nuance Audio Glasses for the first time?

What should I do when wearing Nuance Audio Glasses for the first time?

+

After completing the necessary preliminary steps, we suggest following these recommendations to optimize your hearing support:

  • 1. Calibrate your Glasses: If you haven't done so yet, calibrate your hearing Glasses to tailor them to your voice and head's shape in a silent room.
  • 2. Customize Your Settings in the App:
    • Presets: Choose between four presets (A, B, C, or D) that adapt to your hearing needs.
    • Volume Levels: Adjust the volume levels to suit your preferences.
    • Background Noise: Decide how much background noise you want to hear—low, medium, or high.
    • Audio Mode: Choose between Frontal Mode and All-around Mode.

It may take a short time to get accustomed to the new amplification, but typically no longer than a few days. These sensations are normal and should diminish as you adapt to improved audibility.

If the sound feels unnatural initially, remember that this is a normal part of the adjustment process, and you will become accustomed to it with regular use.

+

By design, the Nuance Audio Glasses frame is resistant to common chemicals like hand sanitizer, cleaners, hand soap, hair gel, and sunscreen.

How should I clean the lenses and frames?

+

Daily cleaning:

Use a dampened cloth and neutral soap avoiding all types of sprays, solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol or ammonia. Don’t spray directly on the lenses or use dirty or abrasive cloths such as paper towels, tissues or your T-shirt, which may alter the lenses' features. Don't hold your glasses under running water or use any other cleaning tool (such as a hearing aid brush, toothpick, or air pressure) to clean the glasses, including the microphones and the speakers. Store the cleaning cloth away from dirt and dust.

Dry off your glasses before putting them back inside the case, wearing them, or placing them on the Charging Pad for wireless charging.

Deep cleaning:

In case of contact with salt water, pool water or other chemicals such as cosmetics, hairspray, sunscreen and insect repellents, we recommend immediately wiping your Glasses with a damp non-abrasive cloth.

To clean the lenses, use a lens spray, available in stores. Make sure to spray on a cloth and not directly on the lenses.

Gently clean with a damp non-abrasive cloth any dirt or dust from the outer portions of the glasses, including the 6 microphones and 4 speakers.

Protect:

We recommend always storing your glasses in their case when not in use, to protect them from drops and scratches.

Do not place your glasses face down on a surface as this could damage the lenses.

Keep them in a dry place at a temperature ranging from 14°F to 95° (for example: do not leave them on the car dashboard).

Keep the lenses away from extreme temperatures and intense heat sources such as hot air, water vapor or ovens.

Avoid dropping the glasses or putting them close to magnets: placing the frames very close to an external magnet could false trigger the hall effect sensor and turn the product off.

We expect you to play with different settings to find the setup that best fits your hearing needs. We recommend the following steps, after having downloaded the "Nuance Audio" App from IOS Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

  • If not yet done, calibrate your glasses in a silent room
  • Then, in the App's home page:
    • Toggle between the "Presets" (A, B, C or D), to find the one that works best for you and your hearing needs. (NOTE: Default setting is Preset A and Volume level 3)
    • Try different "Volume" levels, to find the one that better suits your needs
    • Determine how much "Background noise" you want to hear: lowered, standard or heightened
    • Choose between "Audio modes" - either "Frontal", to focus the amplification on sounds coming from the front, or "All-around", to amplify sounds or speeches coming from all around you.

Please note that you may have to adapt these configurations, in your day-by-day usage, depending on the specific scenario you are dealing with. Watching the television at home alone and talking to friends in a crowded restaurant, as a matter of example, are scenarios that would likely require different settings.

What is a preset and how can I change it?

+

Presets are preconfigured amplification settings designed to enhance your listening experience with your Nuance Audio Glasses. Each preset addresses different amplification needs by adjusting various frequencies:

  • Preset A – Best for flat mild hearing loss – Ideal for individuals who require slight amplification across all frequencies. This setting helps those who experience mild difficulty understanding speech and could benefit from a subtle boost in clarity.
  • Preset B – Designed for sloping mild hearing loss. This setting is suitable for individuals who hear lower (bass) frequencies well but require a slight boost in higher (treble) frequencies. It is ideal for those who have minimal difficulty in optimal conditions (e.g., quiet settings, one-on-one conversations) but may struggle in more challenging environments, such as noisy settings or when conversing with multiple speakers.
  • Preset C – Designed for sloping moderate hearing loss. This setting is ideal for individuals who face significant challenges in understanding speech in difficult situations. They may misinterpret certain sounds or miss parts of conversations and often rely on contextual clues or lipreading to fill in the gaps.
  • Preset D – Designed for flat moderate hearing loss. This setting is ideal for individuals who experience difficulties even in quiet environments, often hearing speech as muffled and struggling to understand conversations.

To find and use the presets:

  • After having downloaded the "Nuance Audio" App from IOS Apple App Store or Google Play Store, access the Nuance Audio App on your mobile device.
  • Navigate to the Home Page: the preset options are available directly on the app's home page.

We encourage you to try each preset to discover which one best suits your preferences and listening environment.

How can I set the eyewear volume?

+

Use the volume slider available on the "Nuance Audio" App's home screen to adjust the volume to your preference.

Alternatively:

  • With Nuance Audio Glasses: by short pressing the button on the right temple to cycle through the volume levels. An audio prompt will confirm each change.
  • With the Remote Control: by pressing the + and - buttons on the remote control to increase or decrease the volume.

What is the Background Noise configuration and how can I adjust it?

+

The Background Noise configuration allows you to customize the level of background noise you want to hear while using your Nuance Audio Glasses. This includes ambient sounds such as traffic, air conditioning, whirring fans, running rain, and vacuuming. You have three options to choose from:

  • Heightened: you’ll hear the background noise louder and more clearly.
  • Standard: hear the background noise at the original sound level.
  • Lowered: Minimize the amplification of background noise, making it less noticeable.

To adjust this setting, navigate to "Nuance Audio" App home page, where you'll find the option to customize the Background Noise configuration according to your preference.

What is Audio Mode and how can I adjust it?

+

The Audio Mode configuration allows you to choose your desired listening focus based on your environment:

  • Frontal Mode: This mode enhances sounds coming from the front, making it easier to focus on conversations with someone directly in front of you, especially in noisy environments. Sounds from other directions are still audible but not amplified.
  • All-around Mode: This mode amplifies sounds and speech from all directions, which is ideal for situations like walking or driving where you need to be aware of your surroundings. You’ll hear sounds from all directions clearly and equally.

Adjust your Audio Mode by accessing the "Audio Mode" option on the "Nuance Audio" App’s home page.

What is Own Voice configuration and how can I adjust it?

+

The Own Voice configuration allows you to customize how your voice is amplified by the Glasses. You can set the amplification level to no, some, or yes making it more comfortable to hear your voice during use.

What is personalized calibration and what is it useful for?

+

Personalized calibration is a process that optimizes the audio settings of your Nuance Audio Glasses. Calibrating is optional, but it is highly recommended for optimal performance. It serves two main purposes:

  • Sound Optimization: By registering the shape of your head, personalized calibration adapts the sound output to reduce feedback noise, enhancing your overall listening experience.
  • Natural Voice Feedback: It also registers your voice, allowing for a natural perception of your own voice when speaking.

You can calibrate in the initial setup steps guided by the Nuance Audio App when you first use your glasses. However, you can also recalibrate anytime with the following steps:

  • Open the Nuance Audio App on your mobile device.
  • Tap the icon located at the bottom right of the home page ("Menu") to access the "Settings" menu.
  • In the "Settings" menu, select Calibration to restart the process.

To take the best out of your Personalized Calibration:

  • Ensure that you calibrate in a silent environment for best results.
  • Choose the Right Environment: a medium-sized, regularly furnished room (typically, a bedroom), provides the best acoustic conditions for calibration. Avoid empty or unusually shaped spaces and highly acoustically isolated areas.
  • Maintain a Steady Position: during Calibration, remain still with your head up, avoiding any movement, particularly during the feedback cancellation phase. This ensures accurate calibration without interference.
  • Voice Calibration: speak with a strong, ensuring there are no pauses or silent moments.

Finally, please note if you own multiple pairs of Nuance Audio Glasses, you should calibrate each one individually.

Do I need to recalibrate my glasses regularly?

+

Are my Oakley Meta glasses waterproof?

Can I change the LED brightness setting?

+

Your glasses have two lights, an inward-facing notification LED and a front-facing capture LED, which lets people know you’re taking a photo or recording a video. You can choose to customize the brightness of your inward facing notification within Settings in your Meta AI app. Options for notification LED brightness are Automatic, Low, Medium, and High. Automatic brightness uses the ambient light sensor to adjust the brightness based on your environment.

Despite having some battery left, I am unable to record videos. why?

Video capture is a power heavy use case and for a small battery with less than 15% charge there is a significant brownout risk (voltage drop that could damage the battery). In order to protect the battery (from brownout) and make sure the users are able to record at least 60 second videos, Oakley enforces certain minimum power thresholds. if the minimum power threshold is not met, then the users are blocked from recording videos. At room temperatures the threshold is 10% at 25°C and 15% at 20°C battery temperatures, however at lower temperatures the battery has higer brownout risk and thresholds are much higher.

+

If your glasses aren’t turning on, try the following steps:
1. Make sure the glasses have the power switch turned on by pushing the switch towards the front of the frame. If you see a red dot next to the switch, that means the glasses are OFF.

Why am I having trouble invoking voice commands after setting voice commands up in my app?

+

-If ‘Hey Meta' or 'OK Meta’ is not responding consistently after setting up voice commands then:
- Go into your glasses' Voice settings in the Meta AI app and check that the Voice toggle is on
- Go into "Hey Meta" preferences from the Voice settings and make sure that the "Hey Meta" toggle is on
- You can also turn on the Wake sound toggle here if it is not already on.
- Try saying 'Hey Meta' or 'OK Meta' again.
- If the wake word was recognized, you should see the LED blink white in response. If the Wake sound toggle is on, you will also hear an earcon in response.
- If that still doesn't work, try toggling off and then back on both the Voice and "Hey Meta" options, and try again.
- If still not working, then another issue with voice commands is going on, likely that a microphone is blocked.

To troubleshoot a mic being blocked resulting in no earcon response from 'Hey Meta or 'OK Meta':
-Turn off toggle in Meta AI appapp
-Try 'Hey Meta' or 'OK Meta' again:
-If working (Earcon response to Hey Meta or 'OK Meta') then user should keep the toggle off

Why are call receipients having trouble understanding me when I call through the glasses?

+

If call recipients are having trouble hearing you on calls (audio is broken/choppy/or extremely quiet) then:
-Turn off toggle in Meta AI app
-Try calling again:
-If working (call back the recipient, if they can hear you better in same environment as before) then user should keep the toggle off
-If still not working, then another issue with calling is going on, user should keep toggle turned on and try disconnecting/reconnecting your glasses

Why is my case indicator pulsing or solid red when I dock glasses?

+

If you dock your glasses into the case and see either a solid red or pulsing red animation from the case LED - this signals that there is a charging error. Charging errors can occur if:
1. Glasses or case are too hot to charge
2. Liquid detected on the glasses or case

If glasses or case are too hot, move out of the sun and to cooler conditions to enable charging.
If glasses or case have liquid present, undock the glasses, clean / dry the nosebridge area, redock glasses into case. You may have to wait for glasses & case to fully dry to enable charging.

Why is my case not responding?

+

If your charging case is no longer responding to button presses or case open/close events, it could be either:
1. Your case has a dead battery and needs to charge
2. You interrupted a case update

If case has a dead battery, connecting the case to a valid charger via USB-C cable should result in an orange pulsing pattern on case indicator before normal case operation resumes.
If you may have interrupted a case update, dock the glasses again with the switch on. Case functionality should be recovered after the update completes.

How can I pair with my Garmin devices?

+

To connect/disconnect an app:

The speaker sound is muffled due to clogged top or bottom speaker meshes. What should I do?

+

Please follow these steps for speaker mesh cleaning:
Top Speaker Meshes:

  1. Moisten the Meshes: Apply a few droplets of clean water directly onto the top speaker meshes. Ensure the water is evenly distributed across the mesh surface.
  2. Position the Glasses: Place the glasses on a stable surface with the temples open, ensuring the top speaker meshes are facing upward. This position allows the water to act on the residues effectively.
  3. Dissolution Time: Allow the water to sit on the meshes for approximately 15 minutes. This duration helps in dissolving any accumulated residues that may be causing blockage.
  4. Cleaning the Meshes: After the waiting period, gently clean the dissolved residues using a microfiber cloth or a soft-bristled toothbrush. Ensure that the cleaning is thorough but gentle to avoid damaging the mesh.
Bottom Speaker Meshes: Repeat the Process

There is liquid presence in the speaker compartment and causes muffled speaker sound or other system feature degradation. What should I do?

+

Please follow these steps for water ejection procedure:

  • Remove your Paloma and close the hinges.
  • Press and hold the action button until you hear the Water Ejection soundwave.
  • The soundwave will actively vibrate the loudspeaker for 30 seconds, stopping if the hinges are reopened before completion. While the sound levels are safe for human hearing, we interrupt Water Ejection if hinges are reopened to prevent possible discomfort and to enhance the ejection effectiveness.

What is the resolution with 3K Ultra HD (UHD) recording?

+

3K Ultra HD recording supports a resolution of up to $2384 \times 3168$ pixels. Default photo capture on glasses already offers a resolution of $3024 \times 4032$ pixels. You can record in 3K resolution at 30 frames per second and playback at 30 frames per second. You can record in 3k for up to 3 minutes!

How do I turn on High Resolution (3K Ultra HD)?

+

  • In the Meta AI app, open device settings. Then, open video settings to change resolution, frame rate or stabilization.
  • High Resolution recording can be turned on/off in settings in the Meta AI app. You can also record by using your voice “Hey Meta, take a 3K video”. You can stop the recording with “Hey Meta, stop” or “Hey Meta, stop video”

How can I adjust the stabilisation levels in my videos?

+

Adjustable stabilization allows you to select the desired level of video smoothness and movement control. You can choose from low, medium, or high stabilization settings, or opt for the auto-select mode, where Meta AI intelligently applies the optimal stabilization level based on the content. Adjustable video stabilisation works in Full HD default video resolution, not offered with High Resolution (3K Ultra HD) at launch. In order to enable it, in the Meta AI app, open device settings. Then, open stabilisation level video settings to change resolution, frame rate or stabilization.

What is higher frame rate recording?

+

Higher frame rate recording means that you can now capture more frames per second (fps) in a video. For example, recording at 60 fps captures twice as many frames as the current default 30 fps. This results in smoother and more fluid motion in the video, especially when you’re capturing objects or subjects in motion. 60 fps works with Full HD default resolution, not offered with High Resolution (3K Ultra HD) at launch. In order to enable it, in the Meta AI app, open device settings. Then, open video settings to change resolution, frame rate or stabilization.

How can I take a slow motion video?

+

You can use your voice to record a slow motion video. Say “ Hey Meta, record in slow motion” or “Hey Meta, take a slo mo video” To stop, simply say “Hey Meta, stop”.

Users can capture up to one minute, the slow motion playback is at $4\times$. For example, a one minute video will result in a slow motion video of four minutes. Adjustable playback speed is not supported. Editing a slow motion video post capture is not supported in the Meta AI app.

How can I take a hyperlapse video?

+

You can use your voice to record a hyperlapse video. Say “Hey Meta, start a hyperlapse ” to start recording and say “Hey Meta, stop” when you want to stop the capture. On Oakley Meta Vanguard, you can set up your action button to initiate a hyperlapse. Hyperlapse is recorded in up to default Full HD ($1080 \text{p}+$) at 15 frames per second and the final output is played back at 30 frames per second. You can record a hyperlapse up to 30 minutes. The final output is compressed $10\times$. For example, a 10 minute capture will result in a hyperlapse video of 1 minute. Adjustable playback speed is not supported. Editing a hyperlapse video post capture is not supported in the Meta AI app.

What do I do if the glasses show as disconnected (have a slash through them) on my Garmin?

+

Open the Meta AI app, ensure you are wearing your glasses, and that they are powered on. If this doesn’t work, you can go to glasses settings and relink your Garmin account and device.

What is Autocapture with Garmin?

+

Pair your glasses with your Garmin device to automatically capture footage based on your performance metrics during an activity (distance, speed, elevation, and heart rate). Post-activity you get a highlight video from the capture session. The glasses use real-time smart triggers that are based on your performance metrics like: distance, speed, elevation, and heart rate. Autocapture uses smart-triggering and compilation to ensure you get the right amount of captures for both short and long activities. Because of this you cannot choose your own stats to capture. You can also take your own photos or videos during autocapture, these will get stitched together in the highlight video as well. You can also take your own photos or videos at any point in time during autocapture; these will also get added into the highlight video created. Autocapture supports the following Garmin activity types:

  1. Walks
    • Hike
    • Walk
  2. Runs
    • Indoor Track
    • Run
    • Track Run
    • Trail Run
    • Ultra Run
  3. Bike rides
    • Bike
    • Bike Commute
    • Bike Tour
    • Cyclocross
*To enable autocapture, a user must have a compatible Garmin device and have the Meta AI ConnectIQ app downloaded to that device. Most newer Garmin smartwatches and bike computers are supported.

Follow the steps below to set up autocapture with Garmin:
  1. Set up Garmin
    • In glasses settings, go to ‘Connected apps’, ‘Garmin’, then follow instructions on screen.
  2. Set up autocapture
    • Make sure you have the following permissions enabled under glasses settings > privacy.
      1. Cloud media: Glasses settings > Privacy
      2. Meta AI: Glasses settings
    • In glasses settings, go to ‘Media’ then ‘Autocapture’ and choose whether you would like autocapture to start when your Garmin activity tracking starts.

Follow the steps below to turn on autocapture: Make sure Garmin is connected in settings. You can begin an autocapture two ways:
  1. Say “Hey Meta, start autocapture.”
  2. If you have “on during Garmin activities” setting on: autocapture will start when you Garmin activity starts

When you start your activity, ensure your activity is synced to Garmin Connect app; you may need to go to Garmin Connect app and manually sync the activity. Once this is done, you should see your activity under the ‘Workouts’ section on the glasses tab of the Meta AI app. If it is not showing here, you can pull to refresh. If your Garmin activity is showing under ‘Workouts’, in Meta AI app, then you should be able to see the stats on media taken during the activity.

What should I learn more about Oakley Meta Vanguard?

+

  • The glasses camera is only on when capture is actively happening. You will hear a sound and see the LED turn on when capture is happening, similar to how capture works outside of autocapture.
  • Autocapture battery life varies depending on factors such as weather, if you’re listening to music, and how often you take your own photos/videos. You’ll hear alerts periodically letting you know when your battery is getting lower.
  • You can continue to interact with Meta AI and listen to music during autocapture. Certain features, like Live Translation, will require ending autocapture to use.
  • Your workout data is shared via account linking between your Meta and Garmin Connect accounts. The data is encrypted and will be deleted whenever the accounts are disconnected.
