Tricks for caring for eyeglass lenses.
Taking good care of your eyeglass lenses can ensure that your glasses remain in good condition and provide optimal comfort and quality of vision. Here are some tricks for caring for eyeglass lenses:
1. Use a microfiber cloth.
Always use a soft, clean microfiber cloth to clean eyeglass lenses. Avoid using rough cloths or tissues which can cause scratches on the lenses.
2. Wet it with special cleaning fluid.
Spray a little eyeglass lens cleaning fluid on the lenses, then use a microfiber cloth to gently clean them. Avoid using tap water or spit as they can leave stains or streaks.
3. Do not use clothing or paper.
Avoid cleaning glasses lenses with clothing or paper, because fibers or rough particles in these materials can damage the surface of the lenses.
4. Save properly.
Store glasses in a safe and clean place when not in use. Use a glasses case or case equipped with a microfiber cloth to protect the lenses from scratches and dust.
5. Avoid direct touch.
Avoid touching the glasses lenses with your fingers directly, because oil and dirt from your hands can leave stains on the lenses. Hold the glasses by holding the frame or pinching the nose.
6. Check and adjust.
Periodically, check whether the glasses are in good condition and whether there are any scratches or damage to the lenses. If necessary, adjust the glasses to fit your face to reduce excessive friction on the lenses.
7. Avoid exposure to heat and chemicals.
Keep glasses away from exposure to excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or radiators. Also avoid contact with chemicals such as perfume, hairspray, or household cleaners which can damage the protective coating on the lenses.
