About SunGlare
Discover the story behind India's most trusted sunglasses brand
Our Store Story
Founded in 2009 in the heart of Mumbai, SunGlare began as a small family-owned optical store with a big dream: to provide Indians with world-class sunglasses that combine style, quality, and affordability. What started as a modest shop in Bandra has grown into one of India's most respected eyewear destinations.
Our founder, Rajesh Patel, a third-generation optician, recognized that Indian consumers deserved access to premium sunglasses without the exorbitant price tags often associated with international brands. He combined traditional Indian craftsmanship with modern optical technology to create a unique product line that resonated with customers across the country.
Today, SunGlare operates 25 stores across major Indian cities including Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata, serving over 50,000 satisfied customers annually. Our commitment to quality, customer service, and innovation has made us the go-to destination for premium sunglasses in India.

How to Care for Your Sunglasses
Proper care and maintenance are essential to keep your SunGlare sunglasses looking great and performing optimally for years to come. Follow these expert tips to ensure your investment lasts a lifetime.
Daily Cleaning
Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Never use paper towels, tissues, or clothing as they can scratch the lenses. For stubborn dirt, dampen the cloth slightly with lukewarm water and gently wipe the lenses.
Deep Cleaning
For thorough cleaning, use a mild dish soap diluted in lukewarm water. Apply with your fingertips, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol, or ammonia-based cleaners that can damage lens coatings.
Proper Storage
Always store your sunglasses in a protective case when not in use. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Never place them lens-down on hard surfaces to prevent scratches.
Frame Maintenance
Regularly check screws and hinges for tightness. Clean frame grooves and hinges with a soft brush. For metal frames, use a specialized metal cleaner to maintain shine and prevent tarnishing.
