In order for the glasses of vision glasses not to cloud and not become covered with scratches, they must be properly looked after. Mandatory daily procedure - removal of contaminants. In addition, during the day you need to carefully wipe the lenses. You can wash your glasses for vision only with warm water and not more than once every few days. With constant wear, daily care with a special tool and disinfection of the rim are required, especially in the summer. All the subtleties: how to care for modern frames and lenses so that they last longer.

Glass Care Features

Even if the product is used correctly, the glass becomes dirty because particles of dust, grease and dead skin settle on them. Random finger touches leave fingerprints. Means that are recommended to remove pollution:

• microfiber cloths;
• special disposable wipes;
• paper towels;
• soap and water;
• spray cleaner;
• alcohol wipes.

Tip
Today, ophthalmologists do not recommend wiping glasses with cotton, including terry towels. However, practice shows that this is quite acceptable at home, if the towel does not lose lint and fresh, just from the dryer.

Wipes are suitable for wiping accessories throughout the day. In the evening or in the morning, you need to clean the lenses with a special spray, and wipe the frame, including the nasal stops with an alcohol cloth.

Every two days or once a week (if the accessory is worn only for reading or watching TV), it is recommended to wash your glasses for vision with water and soap, and even better - with soda solution. The latter creates a protective layer, so that the glasses fog up less when their owner enters the room from the street.

Tip
A solution of table vinegar (1 to 1 ratio) and warm water is well washed and disinfected, but after it for a while there is a characteristic smell.

What can not wash glasses:

• any abrasive products, including soda gruel, are prohibited;
• aggressive agents like undiluted vinegar, Domestos and dishwasher detergents;
• fabrics that lose lint, dissolving toilet paper, and cheap paper towels are not recommended — they will clog lenses and joints with the frame.

To avoid scratches, it is important to properly store the glasses using a quality case if the glasses are removed regularly. If the accessory is delayed only at night, it is permissible, without folding the arms, to put the glasses on the shelf in the cabinet, putting them on the frame. This method is recommended for thin metal inexpensive frames - to extend their service life.

Washing glasses with soapy water

You need to wash your glasses for vision in a certain sequence.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. First, the accessory is substituted under a stream of warm water and moistened well. All parts, including temples, frames and nose pads, must be wet.
2. Then a microfibre cloth is soaped and the foam is distributed over the lenses and frame, including the temples.
3. The nose pads are cleaned with a soft-bristled toothbrush without touching the glass or with a cotton swab. The dirt from the gaps is removed carefully so as not to squeeze the glass.
4. The space between the frame and the lenses is treated with a cotton swab.
5. Wash off all the foam under a stream of warm water. It is necessary to ensure that there are no soap particles and a film of soap salts, otherwise stains and turbidity will appear on the glasses later.
6. To get rid of moisture, the accessory is gently but strongly shaken.
7. Then wipe dry with a microfiber cloth.

Important
Modern expensive lenses are covered with a special film that repels dust, grease, protecting from glare and condensation when entering the room from the street. This film is thin and very delicate - it is not recommended to rub such lenses once again, it is forbidden to rub anything harder than microfiber. Lenses can only be washed with baby soap, and it is advisable to let them dry in the air.

Fast removal of pollution

Today, frames are expensive, and most buy budget models, and they are made from not the highest quality materials. These frames are easily deformed, and their coating is short-lived. If you often wash such glasses, the paint and protective layer quickly peel off, the metal will begin to turn green, stain the skin, cause itching, irritation and even eye infection.

For such glasses, it is preferable to clean with a special spray that dries quickly, does not require much wetting of the frame and qualitatively cleans dirt. These products are sold in optics and online stores.

Wet disposable wipes are also suitable for cleaning glass from debris, dust particles and grease. But you need to use not any, but intended for the care of optics. For lenses with a brightened (anti-reflective) coating, special products and wipes are available.

Be sure to keep your glasses clean - this is the key to good visibility and healthy eyes and skin. The cheaper the frame or the more expensive the lens, the more care you need. The best option is daily cleaning with a special spray and weekly washing with soap and a microfibre cloth.
