What Are the Correct Ways to Maintain Lenses?

Long term use of glasses, lenses will inevitably be worn and tears, how should we maintain glasses?

Always pay attention to protect the lens

From time to time, do not touch the lenses with your hands, which will leave fingerprints and stain the lenses, and may even wear the lenses. In particular, the wear of varifocal reading glasses and progressive multifocal reading glasses will affect our normal use.

If the lens is dirty, don't wipe it with the corner of your coat or a hard piece of paper. After the lens is blurred by water vapor, we need to use a soft paper towel to wipe it again, preferably with a special cloth to wipe the glasses. Try not to leave a stain on polarized reader sunglasses or progressive reading sunglasses, which is not conducive to us seeing the road clearly.

When you wipe the lens, you should pay attention to one direction, so as to avoid rubbing back and forth, which easily damages the lens. When sleeping, sightline multifocal computer reading glasses and blue ray anti-glare glasses should be wrapped with glasses cloth and placed in the glasses box to avoid dust.

Wipe glasses cloths also need to be cleaned from time to time. They can be washed with soap or detergent, dried, and put in a box.

Whether it's colored reading glasses or sport reading glasses, glasses can't be wiped alone. They can be washed once a week or half a month. Finally, they can be cleaned with detergent to prevent water vapor from blocking the view.

How to repair the broken lens?

If your anti blue light lenses or progressive multifocal lenses are worn, you can gently scratch them with a water abrasive cloth, then apply toothpaste to the scratched area, and then slowly rub it with a piece of chamois or similar until it is transparent.

If the trace is small, you can use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol along the direction of scratch, which can cover the scratch. Wipe in one direction.

In addition, you can also use fine cotton cloth dipped in a small amount of toothpaste, wipe back and forth where there are scratches on the glasses, and you can only move in a straight line in one direction. The force of wiping is medium, because too light force does not work, and the frequency of wiping can be slightly faster.

If you are worried that you can't handle it well, you can take your glasses to the glasses shop to polish them. If the lenses are well worn, you need to consider replacing them.

Mistakes in maintaining lenses

Wipe the lens again and again

Many people have a habit of pulling up the corners of their clothes when they find their glasses dirty, or wipe them with paper towels when they see some scratches on the lenses. These are all wrong behaviors. In fact, most scratches on the lens are caused by improper behavior. We should wash the glasses with water, and then rub them gently with detergent. We can't rub them repeatedly. We need to clean them in the same direction. Finally, dry them naturally or wipe them gently with glasses cloth.

Wipe the lens directly with glasses cloth

Most people's so-called care for glasses, that is, to wipe the corner of their clothes into glasses cloth. In fact, glasses cloth cannot be directly used to wipe lenses. Because there are a lot of tiny dust particles on the lens, directly dry rubbing with glasses cloth is just like using sandpaper to scratch the lens. As time goes by, the lens will become blurred, so the glasses cloth is not used to wipe glasses directly. If the lenses are dirty or greasy, they should be washed with tap water or cleaned with some detergent. After rinsing with clean water, gently dry the water with a napkin or wipe it with a mirror cloth. In this way, the lens washed out is clean and will not damage the coating.

The glasses case is almost useless

Many people are equipped with glasses, but directly put the glasses box in a corner idle. In fact, glasses should be wrapped with glasses cloth when they are not in use. A hard lens box can prevent glasses from being crushed and broken. Don't touch the lens directly with your hands to avoid rubbing and leaving oil and sweat stains.

Don't change glasses if they don't break

Many people define changing glasses only when they are broken. Even if there are scratches, stains, cracks and peeling off of the lens, they are still wearing them. In this case, it is recommended to replace the glasses as soon as possible. Because the scattering of light may lead to blurred vision, which can cause vision loss over time.

Protect our glasses as much as possible to use them better!
