Share
Sunglasses are a hot topic this season and are more than just a fashion accessory. They protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce sun glare. To ensure you maintain full protection, it's important to take good care of them. Maintaining your sunglasses is the best thing you can do for yourself and your appearance.
You don't want to end up with scratched, half-tinted sunglasses, do you?
In this blog post, we share essential tips and tricks to keep your sunglasses in top condition. So let's dive in!
Here are ten tips for caring for your sunglasses:
Use a protective case : Always keep your sunglasses in a case when not in use to protect them from scratches.
Cleaning with a microfiber cloth : Use a microfiber cloth to clean the lenses. Don't clean your glasses with every cloth you have. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or clothing, as these can scratch the lenses. When you purchase sunglasses from dimi eyewear, you'll receive a case and a cloth to help you clean your glasses properly.
Sand : Sand isn't your best friend. Be careful around it. It can cause serious scratches on your glasses. If your sunglasses fall into the sand, check tip number 5.
Lens cleaner : Use a lens cleaner specifically designed for glasses. Avoid household cleaners or soaps, as these can damage the lenses and coatings.
Rinse before wiping : Rinse your sunglasses with (lukewarm) water before wiping them to remove any dust or sand that could scratch the lenses.
Avoid extreme temperatures : Keep your sunglasses away from extreme temperatures, such as leaving them in a hot car. Heat can widen the frame and damage the lens coatings.
Hold with both hands : Use both hands to put the sunglasses on and take them off to maintain the proper shape of the sunglasses.
Proper storage : Don't place your sunglasses on your head, as this can stretch the frames. I'm guessing no one told you about this tip, but it makes sense. If you're not using a case, don't store your sunglasses with the lens facing up to prevent scratches.
Avoid chemicals and the sea : Keep your sunglasses away from hairspray, perfume, sunscreen, and other chemicals that can damage the lenses and frames. Sunscreen can discolor your glasses. Also, avoid taking your sunglasses into the sea. The saltwater can damage them over time.
Tighten the screws regularly : Some sunglasses have screws. Check and tighten the screws regularly to prevent the frames from loosening or becoming misaligned.
By following these tips, you'll keep your sunglasses in excellent condition and extend their lifespan!
