Handle With Care

• Place and remove your eyeglasses with both hands instead of pulling them off holding only one stem and remember don’t wear your glasses on top of your head.
• Always put them away in a glasses case or an electrostatic bag when you're not wearing them, not loose in your pocket, backpack or purse where the lenses can get scratched or chipped.
• Do not place sunglasses where they may overheat, such as on the dashboard of a car. Overheating can damage your lenses or deform your nylon frame. 
• Do not place your sunglasses face down on the surface as this can cause the lenses to scratch.

Keep Sunglasses Clean

• Wash your hands before using warm water, cleaning solution or mild dishwashing liquid to clean your lenses instead of bathroom cleaner. The chemicals such as sunscreens and cosmetics in your hand will damage the films of your sunglasses.
• Always use a microfiber cloth to clean your lenses or a cleaning method recommended by your optometrist instead of using T-shirts, tissues, handkerchiefs, etc.
• Make sure you can wash your nose pads and the tips of your temples (arms) thoroughly as that is where oil, hair care products and makeup tend to collect.

Check Sunglasses State Frequently

• Take them under a brighter light, and look at the lens tilted to see if there are any fine lines on it. The more the lines are worn, the more scratched it will be severe.
• Check if the frame is found to be twisted, loose, or damaged, and the inclination of the lenses on both sides to be flat.

• Use a cotton ball in a circular motion to rub a non-abrasive toothpaste or baking soda mixture into the scratch on the lenses, then massage your lenses for about 10 seconds, rinse with cold water and dry with a lint-free cloth.
