"Necessity is the mother of invention"

 Nobody really knows who first made that statement, but odds are he was a fisherman. Fishermen will do whatever it takes to catch fish and enjoy their sport.

Kevin Carlson is a serious fisherman.

He is also an expert in optics with more than 33 years experience. So when he could not find suitable sunglasses for himself and the buddies he fished with in the Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament, his solution was simple - invent the perfect pair of sunglasses.

He knew he wanted key features:

• Polarized lenses providing accurate image colors, depth perception, and 100% U.V. protection.
• Frames perfectly balanced and durable enough to take the abuse of an avid angler while looking great.

Finally, a factory was found in Japan that was able to manufacture a lens to Kevin's demanding specifications. Prototypes were made and top professionals conducted extensive field tests.

The invention originally designed to win fishing tournaments, has now been refined so that all outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy unbeatable visual acuity and eye protection. Our sunglasses are proudly worn by leading professional fishermen, boaters, marksmen, racecar drivers, surfers, volleyball players, golfers, snow skiers, and jet skiers. When they need performance, Ocean Waves delivers.

Our Passion remains as it was in the beginning - use the latest technology and materials to build an unbeatable pair of sunglasses.

 Ocean Waves Sunglasses were born.

POLARIZATION:

Why Should All Sunglasses Be Polarized? Polarized sunglasses not only reduce the amount of light that reaches the eye but also eliminate glare and harmful U.V. light.  Polarization Polarization is like a chemical Venetian blind that rearranges light and eliminates vertical glare. Our sunglasses are 100% polarized: The degree of polarization can vary from 15% to 100%. We offer you the best polarization available on the market. What are the benefits? Wearing polarized sunglasses can make driving a boat or a car safer and improve outdoor performances. Our sunglasses offer a 100% U.V. protection: The unique construction of our lens blocks all the U.V. light up to 420 manometers. We offer you the best U.V. protection on the market. What are the benefits? Wearing Ocean Waves sunglasses with 100% U.V. protection can prevent eye fatigue and squinting which results in crow’s feet as well as headache and macular degeneration.

Lifetime Warranty:

With the purchase of your Ocean Waves you receive a lifetime warranty against manufactures defects. We stand behind our product and take pride in the craftsmanship of our product. If your glasses break due to poor quality and/or craftsmanship we will replace the defective pieces and/or parts at no charge.

Ocean Waves sunglasses are very durable and resistant but not indestructible --high impact may pit, chip or scratch the lenses or break the frames. For this reason wear and tear is not covered. This warranty shall not apply to any damage caused by improper or unreasonable use of the product. To prevent unexpected damage, we recommend wearing a cord and storing your Ocean Waves in a protective case within a cool dry area when not in use.

What is not covered?

Manufactures Defects usually occur within the first few weeks. In all essence this is ”lemon insurance” within our product. It does not just stop after your first initial purchase it continues throughout a lifetime ensuring that any Ocean Waves product you purchase, whether new or repaired, will be made of the highest quality and craftsmanship. After receipt of your glasses our optical lab will inspect the glasses to determine warranty status.

Lenses that are scratched, pitted, cracked, shattered, or those that are damaged due to being dropped, sat or stepped on, or due to any reason other than a manufactures defect.

Frames that are bent, snapped, chewed on, or those that are damaged due to being dropped, sat or stepped on, or due to any reason other than a manufactures defect.

If your glasses are broken please do not try to fix them, send them into our factory. Any use of a self-fix remedy, such as gluing, heating, bending, or stretching will void the warranty.

There are no other express or implied warranties other than those set forth above.

If you have experienced a problem due to poor quality and/or craftsmanship please send your glasses to us so that we may inspect them and rectify the situation.

The process

Once we receive your glasses we will inspect them to determine warranty status. If your glasses are covered under warranty we will fix the appropriate defective parts and return your glasses. If glasses are not covered under warranty we will contact you with your repair options and any charges that may apply.

Normal turn around time is approximately two weeks. Turn around time is dependant on payment, availability, and contact information. If you have read the above warranty information and feel your glasses will not be covered, please include the appropriate payment amount to reduce wait time. Also, be sure to include contact information, such as phone, email, and address so that we may reach you Monday thru Friday 9:00 – 5:00 EST if a problem does arise in the completion of your repair.

What if my style is no longer offered?

If your style has been discontinued we will offer to edge your lenses into styles that your existing lenses will fit. If your existing lenses are too small for the style you would like, you can purchase a set of new lenses at the repair cost and go into a frame of equal or lesser value at no additional cost. If the frame you would like is of greater value, you can upgrade by paying the retail difference of the style. This usually is a $10 -$30 upgrade fee.
