How to Care for Your Eyeglasses Properly

Jul 04, 2023

 

 The right eyewear can make a world of difference in your life. It gives you better vision and can even help you to look stylish and sophisticated. But, just like any other piece of investment-grade equipment, taking proper care of your eyeglasses is key if you want them to remain in top condition for years. In this blog post, we’ll explore some tips to properly care for your eyewear.

 


Cleaning Your Lenses

Your eyeglass lenses are the most important part of your frames, as they are responsible for correcting and enhancing your vision. A dirty lens can easily compromise the clarity of your vision, so it’s important that you always keep them clean. To do this, make sure you use a 100% cotton cloth or lens cleaning tissue specifically designed for glasses whenever necessary. It is also recommended that you avoid using paper products such as tissue or napkins since they may cause scratching on the surface of the lenses.


Regular Adjustments

Regular adjustments are important in order to keep your glasses fitting comfortably over time. Remember that with regular wear and tear, your frames will slowly start to become loose or bent out of shape due to everyday tasks like carrying a bag or putting them on and off frequently throughout the day. To prevent this from happening, try taking them into an optician regularly (about once every few months) who can help adjust their fit and shape accordingly.


Proper Storage

Proper storage is essential when it comes to preserving your eyewear's condition for longer periods of time! After usage, be sure to place them back into their hard case when not in use – doing so prevents dust particles from accumulating onto its surface as well as protects against potential breakage/scratching occurring from mishandling and incorrect storage compartments (e.g., keeping them in pockets). Not only that but sometimes after long hours of wearing them (especially if wearing without sufficient sunlight protection), they require extra rest too - providing a breathable environment while not in use helps reduce moisture buildup which may cause fogging on lenses later on down the line!


Protective Coatings

Traditional glasses offer basic protection against scratches, smudges, and dirt buildup; however protective coatings offer enhanced protection against damage inflicted by UV rays/impact/humidity etc.). To take it one step further: consider investing in coatings such as anti-scratch, UV protection or mirror coating – they provide long lasting durability and keep glasses looking brand new no matter how long they have been owned!


Eyeglasses are an investment that need proper care if you want them to last longer than expected. Taking the steps outlined above will ensure that your glasses remain flawless no matter how often you wear them – allowing you to enjoy clear vision with minimal maintenance required!
