Your glasses are an integral part of your eye care and an extension of your personality. They help you navigate the world safely and clearly as an essential part of your everyday attire. These important investments take careful consideration when it comes to keeping them in one piece and scratch free. Use this guide to help keep your glasses in great condition for years to come. 

How to Take Good Care of Your Glasses 

1. Store Properly 

When you aren't wearing your glasses, it's important they are stored somewhere safe. Always have the case nearby for times you'll need to take them off,  like to sleep, shower or to play sports. The case protects the lenses and frame from getting smashed and scratched when they are in your pocket or bag. 

2. Clean Correctly 

When your glasses need a good wash, it's critical to use the correct method. Always rinse your lenses with lukewarm tap water, even if it's just to wipe the lenses. For a deep clean, use a lens cleaner or a drop of dish detergent and rub both sides of the lens gently with your fingers. Rinse and dry the lenses with a clean cloth. To remove any residual smudges, use lens cloth.

3. Have Your Glasses Adjusted 

Proper eye care starts with the right fit. Over time, your glasses may loosen and sit crookedly on your face. To correct any imbalances, have your frames realigned by a professional optometrist. These professionals will refit the nose pad, hinges or temple tips to ensure your glasses sit comfortably.
