Frequently Asked Questions

Brand & Manufacturing

What makes Lunor eyewear distinctive?

Lunor frames have always been guided by the principle of timeless design. Rather than short-lived trends, the focus is on clean forms, fine materials and precise craftsmanship. Many models are crafted by hand in a meticulous process and are defined by their understated aesthetic. A pair of Lunor frames is not made to take centre stage, but to bring out the personality of its wearer. The combination of design, craftsmanship, comfort and longevity makes every Lunor a companion for years to come.


Is Lunor eyewear sustainable?

Lunor takes a sustainable approach, built on longevity rather than disposability. Its frames are designed to be worn for many years. High-quality materials, meticulous craftsmanship and the long-term availability of replacement parts help conserve resources and extend the life of each product. A Lunor frame is made to be maintained and repaired – not replaced.

Where are Lunor glasses made?

Lunor glasses are made with great care and artisanal precision. A significant part of our production takes place in Germany. Our stainless steel frames are made exclusively in our own manufactory. All acetate frames are produced at several locations across Germany.

We also work with selected manufactories in Japan and Switzerland, specialists in working with particular materials such as titanium. Throughout, the focus is on the highest quality standards, durable materials and precise workmanship.

Pflege & Langlebigkeit

Does my eyewear need servicing?

There is no universally recommended service interval for eyewear. Whether, and how often, your glasses should be checked by a qualified optician depends on their age, as well as how frequently and intensively they are worn. From time to time, your optician can professionally clean, polish and refresh your frame. They will also check that your glasses fit perfectly and adjust them if necessary.

How can I extend the life of my glasses?

To enjoy your Lunor frames for many years to come, take good care of them and clean them regularly. From time to time, bring them to your optician for a check, a professional clean and, if needed, a readjustment to ensure the best possible comfort. Please do not attempt to repair your frames yourself, tighten screws or make similar adjustments. Your optician has the experience and the right tools. Avoid exposing your frames to extreme temperatures or harsh substances such as cleaning agents, chlorine or salt water.


How should I care for my Lunor acetate frame?

Clean your Lunor acetate frame regularly with the cloth provided, or another suitable soft lens cloth. You can also rinse the frame under clean water and, if needed, use a little pH-neutral washing-up liquid.

If you have a matte Lunor acetate frame, always apply the complimentary care cream after cleaning. Take care to avoid the lenses. If you do not have the care cream to hand, you can also use a mild, fragrance-free hand cream. The care cream is available free of charge from your Lunor partner optician.

All Lunor acetate frames are made from high-quality cotton-based acetate. With daily wear and contact with the skin, perspiration, make-up and similar substances, the material may discolour or change shape over time. Wherever possible, avoid exposing your glasses to high temperatures, such as in a sauna or on a car dashboard, and keep them away from salt water, chlorinated water and other aggressive substances. If your frame has become misshapen or shows any build-up, an optician can restore it to impeccable condition with professional cleaning and adjustment.

How should I care for my Lunor stainless steel frame?

Stainless steel is an exceptionally durable material that will give you many years of wear. It is ideally suited to allergy sufferers and is electroplated or lacquered by us to be completely nickel-free. Cleaning your stainless steel frame is very straightforward. Simply clean it regularly with the cloth provided. From time to time, you can rinse your frame under clean water and, if necessary, use a little pH-neutral washing-up liquid. Afterwards, be sure to dry the frame carefully and gently with a soft cloth.

How do I care for my Lunor titanium frame?

Titanium is exceptionally light, yet strong, resilient and flexible. It is the metal of choice for many allergy sufferers, as it is nickel-free and hypoallergenic. Titanium is also biocompatible, recyclable and therefore a particularly environmentally friendly material. Cleaning your titanium frame is very straightforward. Use the cleaning cloth supplied to wipe it regularly. From time to time, you can wash your frame under clean water and, if necessary, with a little pH-neutral dish soap. Afterwards, dry the frame carefully and gently with a soft cloth.

How do I care for my Lunor horn frame?

How you care for your natural horn frame depends on how often you wear it and the conditions it is exposed to. Your buffalo horn frame comes with a special care cream. If the horn begins to feel dry, apply a thin layer of the cream. You can tell the horn is dry when it loses some of its lustre and the surface feels rough to the touch. Take care to avoid the lenses when applying the cream. Then gently polish the frame with a soft cloth to help preserve its shine and value for years to come.

You can use the enclosed microfibre cloth to clean your lenses. To avoid scratches, make sure both the lenses and the cloth are free from dust and dirt beforehand. If you wish to clean the lenses with moisture, use only a slightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid cleaning them under running water.

Your optician will, of course, be happy to help with cleaning both your frame and lenses. We recommend having your horn glasses professionally polished and checked from time to time.

Please note that excessive heat, moisture or harsh cleaning agents can damage your horn glasses. Never use an ultrasonic bath to clean the frame. Do not bend the frame yourself or place it under pressure or weight.

My glasses have white marks – what should I do?

If white marks appear on your glasses, they are most likely the result of a normal reaction to natural substances produced by your skin, such as perspiration. We place great importance on the quality of our frames and use premium cotton acetate from Italy for our acetate models. Cotton acetate is a natural material made primarily of cotton (60–80%). Our matt frames are given their characteristic velvety surface through a special process similar to sandblasting. This surface structure can hold particles such as skin cells and perspiration, which is why matt acetate frames are more prone to white marks than polished frames. Proper care is essential to keep your matt Lunor glasses looking their best and to ensure their longevity. We recommend cleaning the frame regularly with clear water and, if needed, a mild pH-neutral soap. Afterwards, you can apply a special Lunor care cream for matt frames, available free of charge from your optician. Alternatively, you may use an unscented hand cream. Tip: Your optician can restore your frame with a professional cleaning and, if necessary, polishing.


Reparatur & Service

My glasses are damaged – what should I do?

The best first step is to contact the optician from whom you purchased your glasses. As a specialist, your optician is best placed to help and will usually have the right tools and spare parts to hand. If required, they can also order spare parts from us. Most importantly, they will ensure your glasses are perfectly adjusted to you again after the repair. Please note that we do not carry out repairs ourselves and do not send spare parts directly to end customers.

Are spare parts available for my glasses?

Yes. As a rule, we keep spare parts for all our eyewear models — even if they are several years old, and sometimes decades old. Our handcrafted frames are made to the highest standards, which is why a repair is almost always worthwhile. We firmly believe that repairing a pair of glasses is more sustainable than replacing them at short intervals. Your optician can order the spare parts directly from us.


Can’t I send my damaged glasses directly to you?

Your optician knows your eyes and what you need from an exceptional pair of glasses better than anyone. In most cases, they can carry out repairs quickly and easily on site, and often have the right replacement parts in stock. If a lens needs to be refitted as part of a repair, only your optician can ensure it sits perfectly and that your vision is clear again. They will also check the fit of your glasses and make any necessary adjustments.

What should I do if my optician is no longer in business?

Don’t worry — you can simply contact another Lunor partner optician. You’ll find our partner opticians in the store locator on our website.

Products & eyewear

Is my Lunor frame genuine or a fake?

To be sure you are buying a genuine Lunor frame, please purchase only from one of our official authorised optical partners.

If you have already purchased a frame, we can assess the authenticity of your Lunor glasses based on high-resolution images — although we cannot provide a guarantee. Please send us front, side, inside views of both temples and a rear view to mail@lunor.com


Which glasses suit me?

Finding the perfect Lunor frame for you calls for an in-person style consultation with your optician. We work with leading opticians around the world, all trained to help you choose the right glasses for your style and face shape. You’ll find all Lunor partner opticians in our Store Locator.

Do your frames contain nickel?

Thanks to our transparent production processes and the complete traceability of every component and material, we are happy to provide reliable information about the materials we use.

The titanium we use for our titanium frames is completely nickel-free, as is the plating we apply.

Stainless steel is an alloy that naturally contains a small amount of nickel. At Lunor, however, we use stainless steel with a very low nickel content. We pay particular attention to the surface finish, as this is what comes into direct contact with the skin. We do not use nickel in our plating, and we also apply a protective coating.

Which frames are suitable for allergy sufferers?

For people with contact allergies, there are many suitable eyewear options. When choosing the right frame, comfort and material compatibility come first. Allergy sufferers should pay particular attention to low-allergen materials.

Frames made from high-quality cotton acetate are a good choice for people with metal allergies. This bio-based material is made from cotton and is generally well tolerated. All Lunor acetate frames are handcrafted from premium cotton acetate and are well suited to allergy sufferers.

For allergy sufferers who are sensitive to nickel, titanium frames are an ideal option. Titanium is hypoallergenic, lightweight and yet strong. Lunor offers a wide selection of titanium frames.

Stainless steel, especially rust-resistant stainless steel, is considered kind to the skin and is used in our Lumag manufactory.

The surface finish is crucial — in other words, the electroplating of the frame. Hypoallergenic materials such as gold or palladium should be used here. All Lunor frames are plated without nickel. We also seal our stainless steel frames with an additional protective coating.

All Lunor metal frames are fitted with genuine Lunor titanium nose pads. They do not tarnish, do not discolour and are generally well suited to allergy sufferers.

When choosing the right frames for allergy sufferers, it is advisable to consult an experienced optician. They can provide personal advice and help select the most suitable frame, taking individual allergies into account.


What colours does my frame come in?

You’ll find all available colours and models on our website under Collection.

Is there a clip-on for my Lunor frame?

We offer clip-ons for a selection of our acetate frames. With a Lunor clip-on, you can turn your prescription frame into sunglasses in a single movement, without losing the benefit of your prescription. You’ll find all available clip-on models on our website. If your model isn’t listed, please let us know — your feedback helps us continue to develop our collection.
