CARING FOR YOUR
Spectacles
Caring for your glasses prolongs their lifespan, maintains clarity, prevents damage, and enhances your vision quality.
Cleaning
Rinse:
Hold your spectacles under lukewarm water to remove loose particles.
Soap:
Apply a drop of mild dish soap to each lens.
Rub:
Gently rub the lenses with your fingertips to create a lather and remove dirt and oils.
Rinse:
Rinse the spectacles under water to wash away the soap residue.
Dry:
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to carefully dry the lenses with gentle, circular motions.
Streak-Free Finish:
For a streak-free shine, use a specialized lens cleaner spray if needed.
Fixing
Assessment:
Identify the issue—whether it’s a loose screw, misaligned frame, or damaged component.
Gather Tools:
Get a small screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, or any specialized repair tools.
Tighten Screws:
If a screw is loose, use the screwdriver to tighten it carefully.
Adjust Frames:
For misaligned frames, gently bend them back into shape using your fingers or pliers.
Replace Parts:
If a part is damaged beyond repair, consider replacing it with spare parts from your optician.
Professional Help:
If unsure or for complex repairs, seek assistance from an optician or eyewear specialist.
