Glasses Care Guide

Proper cleaning and storage habits that extend the life of your glasses and protect lens coatings.

Sep 30, 2026

Daily Cleaning

Rinse with running cool or lukewarm water (not hot to the touch) first, then wipe with the microfiber cloth. Never dry-wipe lenses — dust scratches coatings.

Storage Checklist

  • Always store in a hard case
  • Keep away from car dashboards (heat warps frames)
  • Use both hands to take your glasses off so the temples are not stressed unevenly
