FAQ
The questions we actually get asked.
Drop 1
What is Drop 1?+
LITHIC/001 in a limited run of 60 pairs, Canada only. Joining the waitlist is free and takes no payment.
When does it open?+
We are aiming for December. That is a target, not a guaranteed date. Waitlist members get first access by email.
Do you ship outside Canada?+
Not yet. Drop 1 is Canada only.
Is there a price yet?+
We will share pricing with the waitlist before Drop 1 opens. Nothing is charged for joining.
Does it come with mouth tape?+
Drop 1 includes complimentary mouth tape. It is not a medical device. Do not use it if you have a cold, a blocked nose or any difficulty breathing through your nose, if you have had alcohol, or on irritated or broken skin or if you react to adhesives. Try a small piece on your skin first, keep it away from children, and remove it straight away if it feels uncomfortable.
The glasses
What are they made of?+
A black acetate frame with deep red lenses and stainless steel rivets and hinges.
What has been tested?+
The lens has a spectral transmission report from a lab, which you can read at lithicera.ca/lab-report. Lab tested: blocks 99% of blue light (380–500nm) and 100% of UV.
Can I wear them while driving?+
No. LITHIC/001 is not suitable for driving or road use. The red lenses block green light, including traffic signals.
Will everything look red?+
There is a strong tint at first, and most people adapt after a few minutes. Colour-critical work, like editing photos or matching paint, is not what they are for.
Can I wear them during the day?+
You can, but they are designed for evenings.
Do they fit over prescription glasses?+
Not currently. The frame is designed to sit close to the face.
Orders and returns
I'm under 18. Can I join?+
Ask a parent or guardian first. If you order when Drop 1 opens, it needs a parent or guardian's permission.
What's the return policy?+
Thirty days from delivery, as long as the item is unused and in its original packaging. You pay the return shipping. Email hello@lithicera.ca with your order number to start a return. Full terms are published before orders open.
What if the frame breaks?+
One-year warranty against manufacturing defects: hinges, rivets, lens separation. Sitting on them is not a manufacturing defect, but message us anyway.
Still stuck? Email hello@lithicera.ca and one of us will answer.
