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.
