Your sunglasses are not just a fashion statement; they’re essential for protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays. To ensure your sunglasses remain in top condition and continue to provide the best protection, follow these care guidelines.
Handling with Care
- Gentle Handling: Always handle your sunglasses with care to prevent bending the frames or scratching the lenses. Use both hands when putting them on or taking them off to avoid misalignment of the arms.
Cleaning Your Sunglasses
- Proper Cleaning Techniques: Before wiping your lenses, gently blow off any dust or debris. Use a microfiber cloth to clean the lenses, as this material is specifically designed to be gentle on the lenses and coatings. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or your shirt, as these can scratch the lenses.
- Extra Care with Dust and Dirt: If there’s visible dirt or dust, rinse the lenses with lukewarm water before wiping them. This helps prevent scratching the lenses or damaging their coating.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use household cleaners, soaps, or detergents on your sunglasses, as these can damage the lens coatings and frames. Stick to water and lens-specific cleaning solutions.
Beach and Outdoor Care
- Protection Against Salt and Moisture: If you wear your sunglasses at the beach, rinse them with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or sand to remove any residues that can cause corrosion or scratches. Salt and sand particles can be particularly abrasive, so always handle your sunglasses with care after a day at the beach.
- Dealing with Sweat: For those who sweat a lot, make it a habit to clean your sunglasses after each use. Sweat can leave residues that may damage the lenses and frames over time. Rinse them with water and wipe them dry with a microfiber cloth to keep them clean and prevent corrosion.
Storage and Protection
- Use a Protective Case: When not in use, store your sunglasses in a hard protective case to shield them from accidental drops, scratches, and other potential damage. Avoid leaving them loose in a bag or pocket where they might get crushed or scratched.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some materials to warp or degrade over time. Store your sunglasses in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Maintaining Frame Integrity
- Avoid Overstretching: Be careful not to overstretch the arms of your sunglasses when putting them on your head or wearing them on top of your head, as this can lead to misalignment or loosening of the frames.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check the screws on the frames. If they start to loosen, have them tightened by a professional or use a small screwdriver designed for eyewear.
Additional Tips
- Avoid Wearing on Head: While it’s common to rest sunglasses on your head, this can cause the frames to stretch or warp over time. Instead, store them in their case when not in use.
- Mind the Coatings: Many sunglasses have special coatings on the lenses for added protection. Handle your sunglasses carefully to avoid rubbing off these coatings over time.
