Take care of your eyelgasses

Almost all my friends with glasses, more or less, have this kind of confusion: it is often too late to maintenance their glasses. They do not pay much attention to it, not alone to take care of them. If you want to keep your glasses more endurable, then the following suggestions may help you out.

Step one: screw them. Don’t think me wrong. I mean it! If screws loosen, do go to glasses store to make them tight again or do it yourself, otherwise, glasses are easy to drop to the ground and get scratched.

Step two: keep them clean. Sweat or oil on the skin surface can erode the metal part of the glasses. Daily clean can also extend their life.

Step three: put them away correctly. The majority of glasses are supposed to be folded from the ends of the legs. If they are forced to be folded from one side, it may cause imbalance of the frame and make you uncomfortable when wearing them.

Step four: wear them right. You should wear or take them off with your two hands instead of one every time. If the frame has already been tortured, then go to the glasses store to make them right.

Step five: keep off the sunlight. The long-term exposure to the sun may fade the color of the eyeglasses frames.

Step six: wipe them in a good way. Do this with specialized cloth. Don’t collide with hard things in order to minimize the damage it may cause.

Step seven: put where it belongs. Don’t put them upside down. When you don’t use them, put them in the glasses box and with a cloth wrapping as much as possible.

Now, as summer will come on, and the weather in which we can fry eggs on the side of the street makes us sweat like floods, we may all have lots of inconvenient problems about glasses. But, anyway, we should keep an eye on them. They are our second pair of eyes after all. These tips above, I think, are easy to follow and conduct. I hope it means something to you.

Like you, your eyeglasses  need bath and cleaning to keep a good situation and serve you better. Only by right approaches can you prolong their life. Many people have been tired of the flecked glasses, but they just wash them completely. Since eyeglasses are sort of delicate, you should be careful enough.

give your eyeglasses a bath

Although most lenses are made of plastic, we still need to be careful. Both wet and dry methods are OK and it depends on how dirty your glasses are.

Here are some basic procedures. Firstly, run warm water over each lens, front and back. Next, run a small amount of mild hand soap carefully over the lenses, and then rinse immediately with warm water, you may repeat if necessary. At last, dry with a soft towel or, if you don’t need to wear the glasses right away, leave them on a flat surface to dry. Some people may ask whether eyeglasses cleaners and sprays are introduced or not. Actually, they are available if you prefer them. But you should remember that some of them are designed to be used with a dry cloth, and others are to be used in place of soap when washing glasses under running water.

There also are some notes you should keep in mind. The first one is when cleaning your glasses, not to distort or bend the frames or nosepieces. Many people wear glasses with metal frames, especially those made of thin wire, are really easily bent. If you accidentally bend them and can’t fix them on yourself, you’d better take them to an optician as soon as possible for professional repair. The second one is each time you clean them, check the screws and hold the frame together since it’s much easier for you to tighten a screw that it is to search for it after it falls out. After you finish the cleaning, do not rest your glasses on the lenses. This will scratch, and you know well it’s hard to see through scuffed or scratched lenses. Good eyeglasses can last several years, especially with proper cleaning and care.

To spare a few minutes off your schedule to give your eyeglasses a nice bath, and you will finally find it’s worth the effort to prolong its life.
