CARING FOR EYEGLASS LENSES AND FRAMES

20/20Eyeglass Superstore® hopes that you found our previous series on contact lenses helpful.  We strive to keep you updated on various eye health news, when to consult an optometrist, etc. Continuing in this endeavor, today we’re starting a series on how to take care of your eyeglasses.

Given the cost of eyeglasses and the amount of time for which most people keep a prescription pair, it’s important to care for them properly. Here are a few tips on taking care of both the lenses and the frames.

Proper Care for Eyeglass Lenses:

·         Use a micro-fiber cloth specifically designed for eyeglasses. Don’t use just anything to wipe your glasses dry.

·         Soap and warm water makes an effective cleaning duo. You can also use a commercial eyeglass cleaner.

Proper Care for Eyeglass Frames:

·         Don’t store your glasses in extreme heat or extreme cold.

·         Use a hard-cover glasses case.

·         Frames are likely to get loose from regular wear. In order to prevent slippage you can tighten the arms with a tiny screwdriver.  If you’re in the Florida area, then you can drop in any of our 3 locations and let us fix your frames.
