How do I determine if my optics will be covered under warranty?

Zeal Optics eyewear (sunglasses and goggles) are warrantied for two years from the date of purchase against manufacturer's defects. The warranty is valid only to the original purchaser with a proof of purchase from an Authorized Dealer that clearly shows the purchase date. The Zeal Optics warranty does not cover any lens scratches, item loss, or accidental breakage.

If you are in doubt, give our Customer Service department a call toll free at 49 (0) 531 12175 0.

Note: All incidents will need to be physically inspected to verify warranty status.

Does Zeal sell prescription directly?

All prescription orders must be processed through an authorized optician. If you need help finding a locally authorized optician, please use the DEALER LOCATOR.

How do I care for and clean my Zeal sunglasses?

We recommend your Zeal sunglasses are stored in the case provided for their protection.

For optimum performance, rinse your sunglasses daily in warm water. Use a mild liquid dish soap to wash each lens surface if necessary. Dry using a clean, soft, absorbent cloth. Do not use paper-based products to clean your lenses. Do not use abrasive cleaners, soaps or detergents that may leave a deposit on the lens. Do not use tissues with added lotions, lanolin, silicone or other cleaners; they will leave a film on the lens.
