Your prescription lenses are a significant investment in your visual health, so taking good care of them will extend their life and ensure you always enjoy clear, crisp vision. At CristalesGafas, we give you the best tips to look after your lenses properly.
Daily Cleaning
Cleaning your lenses daily is essential to maintain optical clarity and prevent the build-up of grease, dust and other particles that can scratch the surface.
How to Clean Your Lenses Correctly
- Use specific optical cleaning products: Spray solutions designed for lenses are the safest option. Avoid household glass cleaners as they can damage lens coatings.
- Use a microfibre cloth: These cloths are specifically designed to clean lenses without scratching. Avoid paper towels, clothes or tissues.
- Rinse with water first: Before wiping, rinse the lenses under lukewarm water to remove solid particles that could scratch the surface.
Proper Storage
When you are not wearing your glasses, always store them in their protective case. This prevents accidental scratches, drops and deformations of the frame.
- Never leave your glasses face down on any surface.
- Avoid leaving them in very hot places, such as inside a car in summer, as heat can damage lens coatings.
- Keep your glasses away from sharp objects or chemicals.
How to Handle Your Glasses Correctly
- Use both hands: Always put on and take off your glasses with both hands to prevent the frame from deforming over time.
- Avoid pushing them up with your nose: If your glasses slip, take them off properly and readjust them.
- Never place them on your head: This stretches the temples and can deform the frame.
Anti-Scratch and Anti-Reflective Coatings
Modern lenses often come with protective coatings that improve durability and visual comfort. At CristalesGafas, all our lenses include anti-scratch coating as standard, and you can also opt for anti-reflective coating for better visual comfort.
When to Change Your Lenses
Even with good care, lenses have a lifespan. If you notice that your vision has become blurry, your prescription has changed, or the lenses have visible scratches that affect your vision, it is time to consider changing them. At CristalesGafas you can change your lenses without changing your frames, saving money while maintaining clarity.
