Eyeglass Maintenance Tips; Ensuring Clear Vision and Style Preservation

Taking care of your eyewear is crucial, for their longevity and ensuring vision. Here are some guidelines to help you maintain your glasses;

1. Clean Your Glasses
   Opt for a Microfiber Cloth; Avoid using paper towels, tissues or clothing as they might cause scratches on the lenses. A microfiber cloth is gentle yet effective for cleaning.
   Rinse, with Lukewarm Water; Before wiping your glasses rinse them with water to eliminate any dust or debris that could potentially scratch the lenses.
   Use Lens Cleaner; Apply an amount of lens cleaner or mild dish soap to clean the lenses. Steer clear of household cleaners that could harm the lens coating.
2. Handle with Care
   Always Use Both Hands; Make it a habit to use both hands when putting on or removing your glasses. This practice helps maintain their alignment and prevents bending.
   Avoid Placing Glasses Face When not wearing your glasses place them with the lenses facing upward to prevent any scratches.
   Store Them in a Case; Keep your glasses in a case when not in use to safeguard against damage and misplacement.

Remember to avoid conditions when caring for your eyewear. It’s important to keep your glasses from heat, such as not leaving them on the dashboard of a car as heat can damage the frames and lens coating. Similarly protect your glasses from temperatures that can make the lenses more brittle by storing them in a temperature environment.

Make sure to schedule adjustments, with your optometrist to ensure a fit for your glasses. Avoid attempting adjustments yourself to prevent any damage. Additionally periodically check for screws. Tighten them with a small screwdriver to avoid parts falling off.

When it comes to cleaning your glasses steer clear of chemicals like those found in hair sprays, perfumes and cosmetics as they can harm the lens coatings. Wait until, after applying these products before putting on your glasses. Also avoid using alcohol based cleaners that may deteriorate the lens coating over time; instead opt for lens cleaners specifically designed for eyewear.

By following these recommendations you can prolong the lifespan of your eyewear. Maintain optimal vision quality. Proper care not safeguards the lenses. Also ensures that your frames remain comfortable and well fitted.
