Preserving your lenses is essential for maintaining the quality of your vision. Scratches and dust can impair visibility and cause eye strain; therefore, it is essential to clean and maintain them properly. It is important to adopt good cleaning habits to ensure the longevity of your glasses and maintain clear, sharp vision.
Cleaning should be carried out as follows:
spray lens cleaner onto both sides of each lens, inside and out
clean the lenses using a soft cloth or microfibre wipe with circular movements while holding the glasses by the temples or frame
continue until the cleaning solution has been fully absorbed; if marks remain, do not scratch them off, simply apply more spray and clean again using suitable wipes or cloths
if you are bothered by fogging, use an anti-fog wipe on your lenses after cleaning. Its active ingredients help reduce and delay the formation of condensation on your lenses
from time to time, check that the screws on your frame are properly tightened (at the temples and lenses). Use a glasses screwdriver, which can also be useful for emergency repairs if required
put your glasses back on immediately or store them safely in their case
avoid: never use washing-up liquid, as it can be too aggressive for lens coatings, and do not use hot water either. Also avoid dirty or abrasive cloths (such as paper towels), which may scratch your lenses.
This quick and effective glasses care routine should be carried out daily to prevent the build-up of grease and marks which, beyond hygiene concerns, can significantly affect your vision. Depending on your needs, individually wrapped pre-moistened lens wipes are also available and are particularly recommended for occasional cleaning when away from home.
Finally, it is essential to use a cleaning solution specifically designed for spectacle lenses, otherwise you risk damaging both the lenses and their coatings. Cleaning sprays specially designed for eyewear are the only products guaranteed to respect the characteristics and specifications of the various lens types. These products are available from eye care specialists, opticians, both in-store and online.
