🧼 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 β€” they scratch lenses.
  • Ammonia, bleach, or harsh household cleaners β€” 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 β€” 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.

πŸ” 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 β€” deep marks can distort vision and should be replaced.
  • Replace worn-out nose pads or ear socks to maintain comfort and stability.
