Small habits, better lens care

Follow the instructions for your specific lenses, use a clean cloth and protect the frame between wears.

Follow the cleaning instructions supplied with your eyewear. Lens coatings and frame finishes vary, so a method suitable for one pair may not suit another.

A simple routine

1. Check the manufacturer’s care guidance before using a cleaner.
2. Remove loose dust carefully rather than rubbing a gritty lens.
3. Use a clean lens cloth and a cleaning method approved for your lenses.
4. Store the glasses in a protective case when you are not wearing them.

Habits to avoid

• Putting the glasses lens-down on a hard surface.
• Using paper towels, abrasive cloths or unapproved household cleaners.
• Leaving the frame in a very hot place, such as a parked car.

Can scratches be polished away at home?

Home polishing can damage coatings or alter optical quality. Ask the seller or an optical professional about suitable repair or lens replacement options.
