Glasses get sat on, knocked off nightstands or dropped, but there are ways to protect them.
- Clean your glasses the right way.
- Never use paper towels, tissues or napkins to dry your lenses.
- Use a protective storage case when not wearing your glasses.
- Don’t use ammonia, bleach, vinegar or window cleaner, hairspray or anything not meant for eyewear cleaning.
- Hold your frames by gripping the piece that crosses the bridge of the nose.
- Don’t lay your glasses lenses down on a table or hard surfaces.
- When working out or competing in sports wear a sports strap to secure your glasses to your face or wear another pair of glasses all together.
- Your glasses are not a hair accessory. Do not wear them on top of your head, quite frequently they fall off and break.
- Avoid extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures can damage the lenses or cause the frames to stretch.
- Always keep a small eyeglass repair kit on hand. To use for tightening the screws or replacing pads.
