01Record identity and measurements
Capture item ID, displayed brand and model, color, frame shape and visible size markings. Measure lens width, bridge, temple and overall frame using a stated method. Do not claim frame or lens material from appearance alone.
02Photograph the complete frame
Take straight front and back views, both sides, top and folded position on a level reference. Add close views of bridge, rims, hinges, temples, tips and nose pads. Photograph markings legibly while considering public redaction where misuse is possible.
03Check alignment without reshaping
Place the frame on a level surface and observe rocking, temple height, bridge twist and lens seating. Open and close both temples normally and record looseness, stiffness or noise. Do not heat or bend the frame during intake.
04Map frame and hardware wear
Record scratches, dents, plating loss, discoloration, cracks, stress whitening, loose screws, solder or repair marks, pad condition and tip wear by exact location. Separate cosmetic wear from damage that may affect safe use.
05Inspect each lens under two light paths
Use reflected light to show coating marks and transmitted light against a neutral background to show scratches, chips, haze, delamination or internal stress. Record left and right separately. A camera may not capture every defect, so pair photos with notes.
06Control optical and protection claims
Do not infer UV protection, polarization, prescription power, filter category or lens material from tint, marketing name or a printed symbol. Obtain item-specific documentation or qualified measurement and disclose the method, date and limits when making such claims.
07Reconcile accessories and final listing
List case, cloth, box, papers and replacement parts separately. Record cleaning and repairs. Before dispatch, compare the physical frame, lens condition, measurements and included items with the listing and final photos.
