FAQs

Sizing largely depends on your individual facial features and head size, as well as your personal style. The majority of MOSCOT wearers will fall into our “Average” size range. For more information about sizing read about our Style & Fit.

Visit a MOSCOT Shop or one of our authorized MOSCOT Stockists. Find the closest one to you here. Be sure to look out for the MOSCOT Authorized Stockist Badge! We also offer Virtual Try On for a handful of our most popular styles.

MOSCOT’s sunglass lenses provide optimal protection against UV radiation (harmful rays from the sun).

Our acetate frames are custom crafted resulting in unique patterns distinctive to each product. In certain acetate colorways, the frame you receive may not look identical to the frame pictured online because of the unique nature of the custom crafted acetate used in each frame.

Designed and prototyped in New York City by 5th Generation family member, Zack Moscot, all MOSCOT Eyewear is handmade, using the highest quality materials, real hardware, and hinges that are riveted through the temple and frame fronts to ensure the sturdiest construction possible. On average, a MOSCOT frame requires approximately 130+ steps until completion and is expertly crafted in our factory in China that has been a part of the family for nearly 50 years! Our prescription lenses are fabricated in our NYC Laboratory before we dispense them to you.

Yes! We will happily fabricate lenses for frames you already own in any of our MOSCOT New York City shops.  Of course we work very carefully, but this is done at your own risk and service fees may apply.

For a quick clean, blow loose particles off your frames first, and then clean with the MOSCOT CHAMOIS provided with your glasses. We conveniently sell these as a three-pack for your office, home and everywhere in-between!
For a deep clean, add a drop of liquid dish soap (moisturizer-free) to a bowl of water big enough to submerge your frames. Soak for a few minutes, then wipe clean with a premium paper towel or a soft cloth.
On the rare occasion when you aren’t actually wearing your MOSCOT Eyewear, please store in its protective case to avoid damage or exposure to direct sunlight. Lenses are scratch resistant, but not scratch proof, so treat your frame gingerly. Follow this mantra: If not on your face, keep in the case!

We strongly recommend you return for a follow-up exam because improperly fitting lenses may feel ok to the wearer, but can cause long-term ocular issues and problems. A follow–up exam ensures you have the most comfortable, best fitting, and healthiest lenses available specifically for your eyes. A follow-up exam is mandatory for first time contact lens patients.

In general we recommend a Comprehensive Eye Exam every 12 – 24 months. However, depending on your situation (e.g. family history of eye disease, past history of problems, etc.), and/or if you wear eyeglasses, and/or if you are over the age of 40, we recommend a Comprehensive Eye Exam every 12 months. Contact lenses wearers should have a Contact Lens Exam every year.

It depends on the prescription and frame ordered, but most glasses are shipped within 5-8 days. Please visit our Shipping page to understand the lead-times per order type.
