Childe for Life – Lens Replacement with The Sunglass Fix

“Let me tell you about the time my dog Luna ate my favourite Childe sunglasses,”
— Lauren Hill

Real Life, Real Scratches

Our dog gnawed on my lenses to the point where they were nearly unwearable. My glasses were basically new and I didn’t want to buy a new pair, so I went looking for solutions.

I tried a few old-school folklore 'fixes' - toothpaste and bi-carb soda apparently remove scratches, but no luck. We were way beyond that point.

My partner Dave mentioned the Childe for Life lens replacement solution, powered by local Byron Bay legends The Sunglass Fix.

I learned that you can replace your Childe lenses for free in the first year (from purchase date), or at a pretty reasonable cost thereafter.

I jumped on sunglassfix.com and ordered new lenses for my Childe Siren sunnies. I even upgraded to polarised lenses for extra clarity - perfect for cutting down glare at the beach.

The replacement lenses arrived three days later with an easy to use fitting guide.

(Hot tip: Always remove and insert lenses from the front of the frame.) It was a bit tricky, my frames are thick and sturdy - but soaking the new lenses in warm water helped.

Once I popped them in and cleaned them, they were as good as new.

Wahooo - thanks to Childe for Life and The Sunglass Fix, my favourite shades are back in action.

Moral of the Story?

We appreciate that these things can happen easily in everyday life but it shouldn't be the end of your favourite pair of shades.

We know that life gets messy - but that doesn’t mean the end of your favourite shades That’s why the Sunglass Fix have partnered with Byron Bay sunglass company Childe Eco Eyewear, to create #ChildeFORLIFE
