Your eyeglasses are an investment, not only in the terms of money, but for your vision. Caring for your glasses properly will not only save you time and money, but it will also help prevent eyestrain and headaches.
Here are some helpful steps to care for your glasses:
Use the right cleaning cloth. Use microfiber cleaning cloths. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, and clothing. Even soft t-shirts can scratch your lenses! The microfiber cloth can be used for multiple ways. Use it to clean your computer screen, touch screen devices, even your car speedometer. They are very inexpensive and you can wash them!
Use cleaners that are meant for eyeglasses. Water does not dissolve on the lenses, so it will not clean oil or fingerprints. Glass cleaner (windex) has chemicals in it that can damage the lenses. Always use a cleaner specifically used for lenses.
Keep your frame clean too. Avoid putting your glasses on your head or in your bag/purse with out a case. Frames can easily pick up dust, oil, hairspray, and gels. Wipe our glasses off with your microfiber cloth to prevent build up around nosepads and ear pieces.
Always store them properly when not in use. A protective case or glasses necklace is the best way to store glasses when you are not using them. Never set the glasses down with the lenses on the table. This could scratch your lenses. In fact, you should think of our fun catch phrase, "if it's not in your face, put it in your case!"
Maintenance is key! Just like getting your oil changed every few months in your car. You should stop in every few months to have us check the glasses for stripped screws, scratches, or even fix any adjustments needed. We are always happy to see you!
