3 Easy Ways to Take Care of Your Eyeglasses

Like contact lenses, eyeglasses are a popular vision correction option. To enjoy maximum benefits from your eyeglasses, you need to clean and maintain them properly. Read on as Vienna Eyecare Center shares some handy tips.

1. Proper disinfection is important. Cleaning your eyeglasses is fairly simple. You’ll only need lukewarm water and a gentle dish soap. Just massage the soap onto each lens, rinse thoroughly and then dry your eyeglasses with a microfiber cloth. By keeping your eyeglasses clean, there’s less chance of developing an eye infection caused by dust, dirt and bacteria clinging to the surface of the glass. Avoid using rubbing alcohol or other products that contain ammonia or bleach because these chemicals can damage the lens coating of your eyeglasses.

2. Keep a firm grip as you clean them. Hold the frames tightly as you clean your eyeglasses. Just grip the section that crosses the bridge of the nose. By doing so, you’ll avoid accidentally bending the frame. Eyeglasses with bent frames are not only uncomfortable to use, they also prevent you from seeing properly.

3. Store them properly. When you have glasses with a customized frame that fits your style perfectly, you’ll want to ensure they last as long as possible. One simple way to do this is by storing your glasses properly whenever you aren’t wearing them. This keeps dirt and debris away from your eyeglasses and protects them from breaking.
