Always Rinse Before You Wipe
Why it matters:
It’s tempting to grab your shirt or a tissue and give your lenses a quick wipe, but this is one of the fastest ways to scratch them. Dust, debris, and oil can grind into the lens surface when wiped dry, leading to fine scratches that cloud your vision over time.
How to do it properly:
Always rinse your glasses under lukewarm water first to remove loose particles. Then spray a lens-safe cleaning solution onto both sides and gently wipe with a microfiber cloth.
What to avoid:
Paper towels, napkins, or t-shirt fabric. They may seem soft but can be abrasive at a microscopic level.
Use our Anti-Scratch Lens Cleaner and Soft-Touch Microfiber Cloths for safe, streak-free cleaning every time.
Tighten Loose Screws Before They Fall Out
Why it matters:
Loose screws in your glasses’ hinges or bridge can cause frame misalignment, lens popping, or, worst case, losing a tiny screw when you’re out and about. It’s one of the most common avoidable issues with glasses.
How to stay ahead of it:
Inspect your frames once a week. Gently wiggle the arms, if they feel loose, it’s time to tighten the screws. Use a dedicated eyeglass screwdriver to avoid stripping the screw heads.
Bonus Tip:
Keep a travel-size repair kit in your car, bag, or desk drawer. You never know when you’ll need it.
Our Precision Repair Kit includes everything you need: mini screwdrivers, replacement screws, nose pads, and a case.
Deep Clean Weekly with Ultrasonic Power
Why it matters:
Your glasses collect more than just smudges, oil, sweat, dead skin, and grime build up in the nose pads, hinges, and frame crevices. A surface wipe doesn’t reach those areas, and over time, bacteria can grow (gross but true).
How to do it:
Place your glasses in an ultrasonic cleaner filled with water and a drop of lens-safe soap. Let the vibrations do the work, they’ll remove buildup even from places you can’t see. Run for 3–5 minutes.
When to use:
Once a week is ideal. More often if you wear your glasses all day, work in dusty environments, or apply face products regularly.
Our SonicClean Ultrasonic Cleaner is compact, powerful, and designed specifically for glasses. Safe for daily use.
Avoid Alcohol-Based Cleaners on Coated Lenses
Why it matters:
Many over-the-counter cleaners and wipes contain alcohol or ammonia. These ingredients may seem effective, but they break down anti-reflective (AR) and blue light coatings, making your lenses more prone to glare, yellowing, and scratches.
The better approach:
Use a cleaner that’s specifically formulated for optical coatings. These solutions clean without degrading the protective layers.
Check your label:
If it contains alcohol, ammonia, vinegar, or acetone, it’s a no-go for your lenses.
Try our Coating-Safe Lens Cleaner, formulated without harsh chemicals but tough on oils and fingerprints.
Never Sleep in Your Glasses (Even for a Nap)
Why it matters:
It might seem harmless to doze off with your glasses on, but even short naps can bend the frames or misalign the arms. The pressure from your pillow, hand, or even slight head movements while you sleep can twist the frame or cause stress at the hinges.
Long-term effects:
Misaligned glasses sit unevenly on your face, cause discomfort, and affect lens focus, which can lead to headaches or eye strain. Once warped, they’re difficult to adjust without risking further damage.
How to avoid it:
Develop a habit of placing your glasses in a protective case before lying down, even just for a rest.
Our Hard-Shell Glasses Case protects your frames from accidental pressure and keeps them safe day or night.
Keep Glasses Away from Heat & Sun Exposure
Why it matters:
High heat can warp your frames and damage lens coatings. Leaving glasses in a hot car, on a windowsill, or near a heater can cause plastic frames to become misshapen and make the coating on lenses bubble, peel, or crack.
Where this commonly happens:
On the dashboard of your car
Near ovens, stoves, or curling irons
During hot summer days if stored outside of a case
Protect your investment:
Always store glasses in a case when not in use and avoid leaving them in heat-prone environments for extended periods.
Use our HeatShield Travel Pouch for temperature protection on the go, perfect for car storage or sunny days.
