Eyewear Maintenance and Cleaning Techniques: Keep Your Lenses Sparkling

Eyeglasses are a common item used in everyday life, and proper care and cleaning can extend their life while maintaining a clear view. Here are some tips on how to care for and clean your glasses:

Cleaning glasses

- Use warm water and a mild detergent to clean your glasses. You can use some mild detergent or unscented soap. Avoid detergents containing alcohol, ammonia or vinegar as they may damage the surface of the glasses.
- Rinse your glasses under running warm water to remove dust and dirt from the surface.
- Use your fingertips to gently apply the detergent to the entire surface of the glasses, including the lenses and frames.
- Rinse glasses under warm water to ensure that detergent and dirt are thoroughly removed.
- Gently wipe the surface of the glasses with a soft, clean towel or paper towel to ensure that no water stains or marks remain.

Avoid scratches

- Use a special eyeglass cleaning cloth to wipe the surface of your eyeglasses. Avoid using ordinary paper towels or clothing as they may leave fine scratches on the surface of your eyeglasses.
- Wet the surface of your glasses with water or spray before cleaning them to minimise friction and scratches.

Storing glasses
- When glasses are not in use, keep them in their special case and avoid leaving them lying around in your pocket, bag or on the table to avoid damage or scratches.
- Avoid exposing your glasses to high temperatures or humidity, and do not leave them in direct sunlight for long periods of time, as this may affect the clarity of the lenses and the elasticity of the frames.

Regular maintenance

- Regularly check the lenses and frames of your spectacles to ensure that they are not loose, distorted or damaged.
- If you find any problems with your glasses, repair or replace the damaged parts promptly to avoid further damage.

With proper maintenance and cleaning, you can ensure that your glasses stay clear, comfortable and extend their life.
