Proper eyeglass care is essential for maintaining clear vision, and extending the life of your glasses!
Here are a few quick tips to help you regularly care for your glasses, both safely and effectively.
Cleaning
- Always rinse your glasses with lukewarm water before cleaning to remove particles that could scratch your lenses
- Use only a small drop of mild dish soap or proper lens cleaner – never household glass cleaners which damage lens coatings
- Use pre-moistened wipes designed specifically for eyeglasses or use eyeglasses lens spray with a microfiber cloth for best results
- Dry completely with a clean microfiber cloth, not paper towels, tissues, or clothing which can cause tiny scratches
- Done! You've got clean frames and lenses!
Daily Care
- Clean your lenses daily using proper technique
- Always hold your glasses by the frame, not the lenses
- Use both hands when putting on or removing glasses to prevent misalignment
- Never place glasses lens-down on any surface
- Avoid exposing glasses to extreme heat, which can warp frames and damage coatings
Storage:
"If they're not on your face, they belong in its case!"
- When not wearing your glasses, always store them in a hard protective case with lenses facing up
- Keep your case in a safe location away from heat sources and heavy objects that could cause damage
- Remember that proper storage is just as important as proper cleaning for maintaining your glasses
