Glasses get sat
on, knocked off nightstands or dropped, but there are ways to protect them.
1. Clean your
glasses the right way.
2. Never use
paper towels, tissues or napkins to dry your lenses.
3. Use a
protective storage case when not wearing your glasses.
4. Don’t use
ammonia, bleach, vinegar or window cleaner, hairspray or anything not meant for
eyewear cleaning.
5. Hold your
frames by gripping the piece that crosses the bridge of the nose.
6. Don’t lay
your glasses lenses down on a table or hard surfaces.
7. When working
out or competing in sports wear a sports strap to secure your glasses to your
face or wear another pair of glasses all together.
8. Your glasses
are not a hair accessory. Do not wear them on top of your head, quite
frequently they fall off and break.
9. Avoid
extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures can damage the lenses or cause the
frames to stretch.

a small eyeglass repair kit on hand. To use for tightening the screws or
replacing pads.
