How to Care for Your Eyewear: Tips and Tricks
Eyewear is an important investment that can greatly impact your vision and overall style. Whether you wear prescription glasses, sunglasses, or both, it's important to take good care of them to ensure they last as long as possible. In this article, we'll share some tips and tricks for caring for your eyewear.
Clean Your Eyewear Regularly
Cleaning your eyewear on a regular basis is essential for keeping it in good condition. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe your glasses or sunglasses clean, and avoid using tissues, paper towels, or other abrasive materials that can scratch the lenses. For stubborn dirt or smudges, you can use a mild soap or specialized lens cleaner - All Scartho eyecare patients who have an anti-reflective coating on there spectacles will receive a ‘never ending’ supply of spectacle spray at no charge!! Also, for when you’re on the move we recommend Zeiss lens wipes, these come individually wrapped and offer streak free cleaning on the go!

Store Your Eyewear Safely
When you're not wearing your eyewear, be sure to store it in a safe and secure place. Avoid leaving it lying around or in a place where it could get damaged. A protective case is a great option for storing your glasses or sunglasses when you're not using them.
Handle Your Eyewear with Care
When handling your glasses or sunglasses, be sure to do so with care. Avoid touching the lenses with your fingers, as the natural oils on your skin can leave smudges or fingerprints that are difficult to remove. Instead, grip your eyewear by the frames.
Avoid Exposure to Extreme Temperatures
Extreme temperatures can damage your eyewear, so it's important to avoid exposing them to extreme heat or cold. Don't leave your glasses or sunglasses in a hot car, for example, or expose them to freezing temperatures.
Get Regular Eye Exams
Regular eye exams are important for maintaining good eye health and ensuring that your prescription is up to date. Make sure to schedule an eye exam at least once every two years, or as recommended by your Optometrist.
By following these tips and tricks, you can help ensure that your eyewear lasts as long as possible and continues to provide you with clear vision and great style.
