When we buy new prescription glasses or sunglasses, we pay a lot of attention to the care of their lenses so that they last us a long time, but taking care of both prescription and sunglasses frames is essential so that they last as long as possible.
Main problems in eyeglass frames:
- Deformation: It usually occurs in the rods of metal glasses, but also in the rim of the lenses of both metal and plastic ones.
- De-glazing: In plastic glasses, this occurs when the color begins to fade or crack.
What should we do to take care of our glasses frames?
- Protects from high temperature.
It is the main reason for glasses to become deformed or lose color. Never leave your glasses in the sun without a case or even with it if they are going to be very exposed (for example inside the car).
- Always keep your glasses in their case.
Don't leave them on your head or hanging from your shirt collar.
- Clean the lenses properly.
When you clean your lenses, always hold the frame by the rim of the lens you are cleaning. We have to hold the glasses by the glass that we do not clean and this deforms the frame since we are exerting pressure to clean.
- Do not use abrasive products.
The best option to clean your glasses is always water with neutral soap. In the case of lenses, only with water is the most recommended so we will avoid harming the treatments they have (such as anti-reflective).
- Take care of all parts of the mount.
We tend to clean the lenses and forget about the rest. It is important to clean the temples, especially around the area where they rest on the ears. Also keep nose pads or the bridge area clean in the case of glasses without nose pads. For drying, always use cotton or suede or a fabric made of this fabric.
If you have signature glasses and any of its parts are damaged or broken, remember that we have spare parts for original signature glasses . So you will have your glasses always new.
