Making Eyeglasses Last A Life Time

When you buy glasses make sure to get a microfiber cloth, an Eyeglass cleaning solution (preferably a spray do make sure it is ammonia free, which can damage the lens coating), and an eyeglasses repair kit. Firstly clean your glasses on regular basis with a microfiber cloth after spraying the cleansing solution on the lenses. If glasses are very dirty you can use a normal dishwashing liquid aswell. Just place a few drops of the liquid and water on the lenses and gently with the help your finger tips spread it. Wash it with Luke warm water and you can air dry the lenses or use moist cloths available in stores. You can also consider buying an ultrasonic cleaner. They work great to remove any dirt in the scratches etc. One thing to keep into consideration is not using the solution too much as it can cause damage to the coating.



Inspect your glasses on a regular basis. Make sure that the screws are tight and that they align correctly on your face. Tight any lose screws with a precision screw driver that you have in your repair tool kit. You can also take your glasses to the eyeglass store and they can do it for you for free or a small fee.



Never remove your glasses with one hand. Always use both hands. As regular removal of glasses with one hand can make the frame bend in some direction over time. Buy an eyeglass chain if you play sports, exercise or have a very active lifestyle. As the chain will help the glasses not to fly off if you bend etc.



Make sure you place your glasses in a box when you are not using them. Never leave them on the floor or a place where someone can step on them accidently. Never leave your glasses on the car dashboard as the sun rays hit that area most and the sun room effect can damage the lens coating. Always make sure to take your glasses off while using a hairspray, perfumes or any other such sprays as any drop on the lens can damage the coating. Lastly, make sure to take your eyeglasses off before taking a nap or falling asleep.



Follow these simple steps and you can make your eyeglasses last for decade or at least till the time you need another prescription.
