What is the proper way to clean and maintain prescription eyeglasses?

Proper Care Instructions for Your Eyeglasses

To maintain the quality and clarity of your eyeglass lenses, we recommend washing them at least once daily. Regular cleaning helps ensure your lenses remain free of smudges and debris, reducing the strain on your eyes and enhancing visual comfort.

After rinsing or washing your glasses, it is best to allow them to air dry, which minimizes the risk of dust or dirt particles adhering to the lenses. If air drying is not possible, gently wipe the lenses with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.

Storage Guidelines:
When not in use, always store your glasses in a protective case. This helps prevent exposure to dust and dirt and significantly reduces the chances of the lenses becoming scratched, bent, or broken.

Additional Cleaning Tips:

• Isopropyl Alcohol: Safe for use on lenses and nose pads when dealing with stubborn streaks. However, avoid soaking your glasses.

• Lens Cleaner and Pre-Moistened Wipes: These are safe and effective for routine cleaning.

• Avoid Cleaning with Breath: This method is not recommended, as it may leave residue and does not effectively remove oils or debris.

• Do Not Wipe Lenses While Dry: Always moisten lenses before wiping to avoid scratching.

• Dish Soap Tip: Apply a small drop of dish soap using a front-back-front-back motion. This helps prevent soap from seeping between the lens and the frame.

By following these guidelines, you can extend the life of your eyewear and ensure optimal performance.
