Proper Care of Your Eyeglasses

Broken Eyeglasses

The following are some instructions about how to properly care for your eyeglasses. Please use them to help ensure the successful ongoing enjoyment of your new eyeglasses.


DO'S DON'TS
• Rinse your lenses with water before wiping or cleaning especially after being in a dusty environment. Very fine dirt and debris on the lenses can act like sandpaper if rubbed around on the surface of your lenses. • Do not use tissue, paper towels, or other paper products to clean your lenses. The paper fibres can act as an abrasive and damage the coatings and surface of your lenses over time.
• On a regular basis, use eyeglass lens cleaner or mild liquid soap, gently clean the surface of your lenses, and then rinse. Pat the lens dry with a clean soft cloth. • Keep anti-reflection coated lenses away from significant heat (e.g., do not leave them in the car during the summer). The heat can permanently damage the coating.
• Try to use both hands to put on and remove your eyeglasses. This helps them to stay in adjustment and maintain proper frame and lens alignment. • Do not use ammonia based cleaners (e.g., Windex) as they may damage the lens coatings and surface.
• Do keep your glasses in your eyeglass case when they are not in use. This protects them from dust and the elements, and also from any physical impacts. • Do not apply hairspray or perfume mist around your eyewear. It can damage the lens coatings and surface.
• Do come into our clinic for regular frame adjustments to help maintain the proper alignment of your eyeglasses. This can be particularly significant for bifocal and progressive lenses, and high prescriptions. • Do not lay your glasses on a table/surface with the front of the lenses faced downwards. This can scratch the front surface of your lenses.
• Do return to our clinic at anytime if you feel that you need any additional instructions and explanations about the use and care of your eyeglasses. • Don't forget that unfortunately eyeglass lenses can only come with a scratch "resistant" not scratch "proof" coating. Ongoing proper care of your eyeglasses is needed to help protect them
