Eye and Vision Care has provided high-quality eyeglasses and personalized optometric services to local patients since 2004. Our experienced eye doctors and staff can help you with all of your vision care needs. We also offer an extensive range of eyewear brands. Your choice of eyeglasses will affect your appearance for a long time, so take care of them. Read on as your orthokeratology and eyeglasses specialist will give five tips to extend the life of your eyeglasses:
-
Clean Your Glasses Correctly – Avoid glasses cleaners that have alcohol or ammonia in ithem, because these chemicals can damage the coating on your lenses. It’s better to wash your eyeglasses using a solution of distilled soap. Don’t use tissues to dry the lenses. Instead use a microfiber cloth.
-
Keep Your Glasses Out of The Heat – Keep your frames in good condition by keeping them cool. Most eyeglass frames are made of plastic, and plastic can melt when exposed to strong heat. Remember not to leave your eyeglasses inside a hot car.
-
Place Your Glasses Inside the Case Properly – Eye and Vision Care recommends using a hard case can protect your glasses. However, remember to place your glasses with the lenses facing up. Placing them lens-side down can cause serious scratches.
-
Take Care of Your Glasses at the Beach – If your glasses become sandy or wet at the beach, make sure you wash them with fresh water once you’re home. Tiny crystals of sand and salt can damage your lens coatings.
-
Use Both Hands to Remove Your Glasses – Using just one hand to remove your glasses can loosen or misalign the earpieces. Given enough time, this will cause the frames to fit your face incorrectly.
