Vision Wear Appraisal

Sunglasses

The item depicted is a pair of sunglasses, specifically showing a view of the inner arm (temple) against a background of various fabrics. The sunglasses appear to be made of a matte black plastic or composite material, suggesting a lightweight yet durable construction. The visible arm is straight and relatively thick, indicating a modern, possibly athletic or casual style. There are distinct markings on the inner surface of the arm, which are crucial for identification and appraisal. These markings include 'UK CA CE', indicating compliance with United Kingdom, Canada, and European Union safety and quality standards. Following these are what appear to be model or serial numbers: '1000111230', followed by '64□16-130' which likely represent lens width (64mm), bridge width (16mm), and temple length (130mm), standard measurements for eyewear. Finally, 'CAT.3' signifies that the lenses are Category 3, providing a high level of sun glare reduction and good UV protection, suitable for general purpose use and strong sunlight. The lens visible in the picture shows some dust or minor smudges, but no obvious cracks or severe scratching are discernible from this angle. The hinge mechanism on the arm is visible as a simple, integrated plastic design, suggesting a cost-effective and potentially seamless construction, rather than a more elaborate metal hinge. Given the markings and construction, these sunglasses are likely a contemporary model, manufactured within the last decade, and designed for broad consumer appeal. The overall condition appears used but not severely damaged, with typical wear expected from regular use.
