WELCOME TO AKILA® EYEWEAR
A MODERN EYEWEAR CONCEPT
AKILA® eyewear is made to adjust easily for a comfortable fit. No face is perfectly symmetrical, which is why we use acetate — a durable, eco-friendly material from cotton and tree pulp that can be shaped to suit you.
A few simple tips & tricks will keep your frames like new for a long time to come.
Keep your AKILA® frames in their case whenever you’re not wearing them to prevent scratches or damage. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or hot, enclosed spaces, as extreme heat can warp acetate.
To clean your lenses, use a small spray of lens cleaner or a drop of water and wipe gently with the included cloth. Avoid using dry cloths or t-shirts, which can be abrasive.
SUSTAINABLE EYEWEAR
We design our eyewear with sustainability in mind, using eco-friendly acetate, recycled optical-grade lenses, and plastic-free biodegradable packaging. Style and responsibility can go hand in hand. As a member of 1% for the Planet, we pledge 1% of all sales to environmental causes.
Through AKILA’s recycling program, you can send back your used frames to be repaired and donated for reuse, or responsibly recycled. In return, we’ll send you a 30% discount code for a new pair — one of the many steps we’re taking to reduce waste and close the loop.

GENERAL INFO
Thank you for choosing AKILA®. These directions include the essential information for using, maintaining, and storing your eyewear. Our products comply with European Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and meet standard ISO 12312-1:2022. All lenses feature high optical precision and impact resistance in accordance with US FDA Regulation 21CFR801.410.
LIMITATIONS OF USE
Please always practice common sense. AKILA® eyewear is not designed to prevent all injuries in the event of impact with hard objects. Sunglasses protect against harmful solar radiation but are not suitable for direct observation of the sun, protection against artificial light sources such as solaria, or driving at night or in low light conditions. If your eyewear impairs peripheral vision, do not wear it while driving. Always put on and remove sunglasses with both hands to avoid unnecessary frame stress. Certain lens tints may reduce recognition of traffic signals and should not be worn for driving or road use, as specified by ISO 12312-1:2022 and ANSI Z80.3-2018. All AKILA® lenses provide 100% UVA/UVB protection.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
The best method for cleaning is to rinse your sunglasses under lukewarm soapy water, then rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry. Do not use solvents, alcohol, or abrasive detergents, as they may damage lens coatings or frame materials. Store your eyewear in a dry place at temperatures between -10°C and 35°C, and always use the provided case to prevent scratches or abrasions. Use only original AKILA® accessories and spare parts, and replace your eyewear if it becomes damaged.
RECYCLING PROGRAM
If your frames are no longer under warranty, cannot be repaired, or you simply wish to replace them, you can return them through our recycling program. We will responsibly recycle the materials and provide you with 30% off a new pair as part of our commitment to sustainability.
