Maintaining your Glasses, Why Not

• Never place your glasses face down when not in use. This will inevitably lead to the lens being scratched in the center, right where you look through them.


• When removing your glasses, use both hands to avoid bending and distorting the frame. This is particularly important in the new style glasses which have little or no frames to support them. The strain on the small connecting brackets will eventually break them.


• When not in use, store and carry your glasses in a hard case for protection. Do not store anything other than a cloth in the case with them.


• Use a soft toothbrush to gently clean the nose pads if they get dirty and greasy, but avoid scratching the glass with the brush.


• If the screws on your frameless glasses continually work loose, tighten them and secure the thread with a spot of clear nail polish. This can be dissolved later, if the lenses need replacing, using non-acetone polish remover. This is better than super glue which dries opaque if it gets on the lenses, and can never be dissolved if new lenses are required.
