The best way to care for your glasses

Specs Direct Opticians in Barnet offers some great advice on looking after your eyewear. After all you  don’t buy prescribed luxury eyewear every other day like you buy other accessories. Especially, high powered ones. So, it’s prudent that you take care of them and have them cleaned professionally from time to time. However, you can’t take them to the eyewear place every day to get them cleaned.

Here are a few tips that will help you clean your glasses like a professional at home. These tips will help your glasses last long. Let’s help you keep those favourite frames for a bit longer.

Rinsing the Glasses

Most people have the habit of wiping their glasses many times a day. It might feel like a great habit, but this is the main reason the glass has a lot of scratches. When you clean your glasses without rinsing them first, you can make the debris cause scratches. So, always run your glasses under water before cleaning them dry with a soft cloth.

Right Cloth to Clean Your Glasses

Tissue paper, abrasive napkins, and paper towels are never a good option to clean your glasses. No matter how soft they may seem to you, their texture can leave scratches on your glasses. Another bad habit is to clean their glasses with the tail of their shirt; the fibres in your clothes can also scratch the lens unless its pure cotton avoids this as well.

Grip Matters

Always hold your glasses from the bridge. This will keep the shape intact. Holding the glasses from its side will bend the frame. You may not know this, but bent frames can affect your vision negatively.

Storing the Glasses

The glasses come in a proper box for a reason. Appreciate that reason and keep your glasses from accidents by storing them in their proper box. Storing the glasses in a box while you aren’t using them will also keep the lens from gathering dust and scratches.

Placing the Glasses Down

It’s the little things that matter the most. Like the placement of glasses on a hard surface. Never place them lens down; this will only make matters worse and give your lens scratches.
