Basic rules for the care of glasses

Points are the constant companion of the fifth part of the entire population of the globe, and sunglasses in general have become an attribute of style.

Why wipe glasses?

Modern manufacturing technologies have made glasses more quality, durable and stylish in comparison with their predecessors of a decade ago. But even despite the high quality of production, the glasses are subjected to a daily test. Particles of the skin, fatigue fingerprints, dust contribute to the formation of spots on the lens, which over time literally eaten and difficult to remove. Such contaminated glasses, reduce visibility by almost a third, and lens wearers cause overfatigue, redness of the eyes and deterioration of vision. Therefore, it is so important and necessary to know how to clean glasses and what means to choose.

What are the glasses and lenses?

Before you wipe glasses, so that there are no divorces, you need to know what they are made of. Correction lenses are:

• Plastic.
• Glass.

Depending on the type of lens, some nuances of care also depend:

1. For a glass version, special fluids, spray-cleaners and wet wipes are provided which need to be cleaned with optics. Special means are sold in each pharmacy and in the optics store, moreover, no additional specialist consultation is required to purchase them.
2. For progressive plastic models of optics, such tools clearly will not work, as the plastic in its structure is very soft, brittle and easily scratched. The only thing that can come from the means of care is a napkin made of microfiber.
3. Even more modern and progressive models with an anti-reflective or protective coating require particularly careful care. To wipe this type of optics, designed for working with a computer, it definitely requires a special cleaner for cleaning special glasses, and home remedies: vinegar, any alkaline solution - is strictly forbidden. The same rule applies to photochromic glasses, since they can also be with diopters.

Important! When buying an optical device, be sure to find out in the center of the optics how to take care of the lenses correctly and how to clean the glasses in order to protect themselves in the future operation.

How to protect glasses from contamination?

To ensure protection from dirt and to protect them, follow these recommendations:

1. Store your glasses in a special case or case. We recommend choosing a hard and tightly closing option.
2. Before buying a lock case, check that the lock is securely closed.
3. Keep the case clean. In time, clean it from dust and crumbs, which can cause the optics to become unusable.
4. For people who lead an active lifestyle, we recommend using a strap or chain for optics. Points on the strap will not break and will not get lost when driving.
5. When removing or putting on your glasses, use both hands to hold them in place.
6. Do not place glasses with their glasses facing down, as this may cause scratches on the lens.
7. After use, put the goggles downwards straight into the cover.
8. Protect glasses from direct sunlight, especially plastic models "do not like" sudden temperature changes.
9. Use glasses only for the intended purpose, do not put on the hair in the form of a rim, so as not to spoil the bow. In addition, wearing a rim on the head can deform the frame, and the lenses will not be positioned symmetrically. And from such an arrangement of optics, the eyes will start to overwork.
10. Do not allow caustic chemical compounds, varnishes, or paints to fall on the glasses.
11. Never use broken or defective glasses - this is harmful to the eyes.
12. Do not attempt to repair the optics yourself, if broken, please contact the specialist repair shops for specialist shops.
13. To prevent the mist from fogging during the cold season, use special wipes or sprays that will not allow the formation of sweat on the lenses.
14. Periodically tighten the screws on the brackets. It is better to entrust this procedure to the master, who at the same time adjusts the arches to your size.
15. If there are scratches and other damage on the lens surface that can not be removed, replace the glasses with new ones, as this may affect your vision.
16. Change glasses glasses once a year or two years. With due care, the service life of the glasses is about three years, but once a half a year pass the examination with a specialist. In case of changing the quality of vision, change the old optics to a new one - more suitable.
