How to Clean Reading Glasses So That They Can Last Longer?

The high end reading glasses and durable reading glasses will not last long without maintenance. Wearing worn glasses for a long time will cause eye fatigue, dry eyes, and astringent eyes, which will directly affect work and life. And if the glasses are maintained regularly, it can increase our wearing comfort. We must pay attention to the usual cleaning of reading glasses to extend the life of the glasses.

So how should we maintain and clean reading glasses?

How to Clean The Lenses of Reading Glasses?

Lens cleaning is the key to glasses cleaning. Should be cleaned at least once every 2-3 days, the steps are as follows:

1. First use clean water (do not use hot water to avoid damaging the coating layer of the lens) to wash off the dust on the surface of the lens and to prevent the tiny particles on it from being rubbed and abraded to the lens. Rinse directly without rubbing with your hands;

2. On the premise of ensuring that there is water on the lens, apply detergent (neutral) gently and evenly on both sides of the lens to decompose the surface grease;

3. Rinse with clean water until the lens is clean and translucent;

4. Turn the water of the faucet into a continuous flow without splashing, and use the flow of water to take away the water drops on the lens;

5. If there is still a small amount of water droplets, you can use lens cloth, clean cotton cloth, glasses paper to absorb dry. Do not wipe, any wiping will accidentally leave marks.

The above are the basic steps to clean the lens. This is the daily care of the glasses when you are at home.

One thing to note is that for resin lenses, we must use glasses cloth carefully. The surface wear resistance of resin lenses is worse than that of glass. When using glasses cloth to wipe the glasses, tiny solid particles will cause fine scratches on the lens.

The glasses of resin lens require professional glasses cloth to wipe, and the monofilament fine fiber is between 0.11～0.33dtex. When wiping, wipe in the same direction, avoid back and forth or in a circular motion, and avoid dry wiping.

How to Clean the Frame of Reading Glasses?

Unlike frameless reading glasses, the most common reading glasses are framed. Relative to the lens, the frame is basically cleaned together with the lens.

1. Usually wipe with a soft tissue or lens cloth.

2. The stains on the frame are mostly oil stains, sweat, cosmetics, etc., which should be wiped off in time.

3. Different materials and different cleaning methods. For these questions, please consult the optician of the optician to obtain customized care instructions for your glasses frames.

Although we have taken care of our good quality reading glasses very carefully, after a long time, dust and oil stains still inevitably accumulate in every corner of the ultra slim reading glasses, such as slots, solder pads, folds, etc. The cleaning of these places often leaves us at a loss and cannot completely clean up.

At this time, we can go to a professional glasses shop for maintenance. Optical shops equipped with free ultrasonic cleaning services for glasses are more professional. The ultrasonic cleaning machine utilizes the ultrasonic cleaning effect and is not restricted by the complicated shape of the surface of the glasses. For example, the grooves, grooves, slits, deep holes, and micro holes on the surface of the parts can be cleaned, and these parts cannot be cleaned thoroughly by ordinary brushing methods. Professional optical shops clean multifocal eyeglass lenses and multifocal prescription glasses very quickly and thoroughly.

But it should also be noted that some frames cannot be ultrasonically cleaned. Before cleaning and maintaining the glasses, please ask the precautions in this regard. Whether it is low power reading glasses or high magnification reading glasses, after the correct cleaning of glasses, you will wear them more comfortably and the glasses will be more durable. But I still suggest not to buy a pair of cheap reading glasses in bulk casually.
