Caring for your Glasses
- When glasses are dry, avoid touching the lens surface
- Do not to polish the lens
- Do not rub the lens too hard with a dry cloth
- When washing glasses in soapy water, ensure that the water is not too hot. This is particularly important when washing plastic framed glasses as their shape can become deformed with heat.
- A dish soap or wishing up liquid is best and you should avoid hand soaps, as these can leave a residue from added moisturiser in them.
- Never use any products containing ammonia to clean glasses as this can damage the lens.
- Paper including tissues should not be used to clean glasses as the fibres can damage the lens.
- If your glasses have a screw in them to hold the lens, ensure that it is in place securely, before washing glasses.
- Take care not to chip the frame when washing glasses.
