Did you know? 80% of lens scratches occur from cleaning eyewear incorrectly. Protecting your eyeglasses through proper maintenance prevents early replacement.
Cleaning
Start by rinsing lenses with warm water and mild soap without additives, or use an approved lens cleaning solution from your eye care provider. Avoid household cleaners, glass cleaner, hairspray, perfume, and cologne — these harm lenses.
Dry with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth designed for eyewear. Never use facial tissue or paper towels — they scratch lenses.
Storage
Never leave your eyeglasses in direct sunlight or in a hot car. Heat damages both lenses and frames. Avoid placing glasses face-down; always store them in a protective case when not in use.
Key Takeaway
Many anti-reflective coatings protect against dust, debris, oil, water, and smudges, but they require careful handling. For personalized product recommendations, consult with our staff about the best care practices for your specific eyewear.
