How to care for your glasses: a quick guide that will last for years

Good glasses deserve good habits. A few simple rules will keep your lenses clear and your frames retain their shape and color for a long time. Below, we've gathered the most important, proven practices—no myths, no fuss.

Daily cleaning (60 seconds)

• Rinse the lenses with lukewarm water to remove dust (do not rub dry).
• Use dedicated lens solution or a drop of mild dish detergent.
• Dry with a soft microfiber cloth using gentle, circular motions.
• Keep a mini spray and microfiber cloth with you - it really extends the life of the coatings.

What Not to Do (and Why)

• No paper towels - cellulose will scratch AR coatings.
• No hot water, steam or sauna - high temperatures can deform the acetate and damage the coatings.
• No products containing alcohol, ammonia, vinegar - aggressive chemicals dull the glass.
• Without a "shirt" - fabrics with an admixture of synthetics and dust = micro-scratches.

Storage and transportation

• Store your glasses with the lenses facing up or in a hard case .
• Keep them in a case when in your bag – loose ones next to your keys are just asking for scratches.
• Do not leave it on the dashboard in the car (UV + temperature).

Fit and Use

• Put it on and take it off with both hands – less stress on the hinges.
• If they “slip down” or feel tight, the wings/nose pads and temple tips can be adjusted by an optician.
• Loose screw? Tighten gently with an appropriate screwdriver, don't force it.

Lenses and Coatings Quick Tips

• The anti-reflective coating likes microfiber and mild agents - it will reward you with clarity.
• Photochromic and sun lenses should also be cleaned like “regular” lenses – the principles are identical.
• For winter, consider anti-fog , especially when wearing masks or doing sports.

A simple rule: water + a gentle cleanser + microfiber + a case. That's the "secret" to keeping your glasses looking like new.

30 Seconds Before Leaving Checklist

• Clean glasses without streaks?
• No play in the screws? Are the temples parallel?
• Case and cloth in the bag?
