🧼 Clean Your Eyewear Properly

Daily Cleaning:

• Use a microfiber cloth to gently remove dust and smudges. All About Vision
• Apply lens-safe cleaning spray to the cloth (not directly to the lenses) for oils and fingerprints.

Weekly Deep Cleaning:

• Rinse eyewear under lukewarm water.
• Use a small drop of lotion-free dish soap on the lenses and frames.
• Rub gently with fingers or a soft cloth, including nose pads and temples.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth or let air dry.

Avoid:

• Paper towels, tissues, or clothing — they scratch lenses.
• Ammonia, bleach, or harsh household cleaners — they degrade lens coatings.

🧳 Store Your Eyewear Safely

• Always place glasses in a hard protective case when not in use.
• Keep out of direct sunlight or hot environments like car dashboards — heat warps frames and damages coatings.
• Use drawer organizers or individual compartments to avoid scratches during travel.
• When flying, pack eyewear in your carry-on, not checked luggage.

🔍 Inspect and Maintain Regularly

• Check for loose screws, bent frames, or stretched temples weekly.
• Tighten hardware with a mini screwdriver or eyeglass repair kit.
• Inspect lenses for scratches — deep marks can distort vision and should be replaced.
• Replace worn-out nose pads or ear socks to maintain comfort and stability.
