Make them last longer!
Your glasses are more than just an accessory—they’re your window to the world. To keep that window clean and clear, they need your care! At Òptica Santa María, we want you to enjoy your glasses for as long as possible, so we’ve put together this complete guide to help you take care of them.
1. Cleaning
Goodbye smudges, hello shiny glasses!
Proper cleaning is essential to keep your glasses in top condition for as long as possible. But not just anything will do when it comes to cleaning them. Here are a few tips for cleaning your glasses:
- Warm water and mild soap: Forget about fancy products. Warm water and a bit of neutral soap are enough to leave your glasses spotless.
- Microfiber cloth, your best friend: This ultra-soft fabric won’t scratch your lenses. It’s like a hug for your glasses—and who doesn’t love a good hug?
Please! Avoid using paper towels or tissues—they can scratch the lenses. - No hot water: Very hot water can damage the anti-reflective coating on your lenses.
2. Storage
A home for your glasses
If you need to put your glasses away, give them a safe space where they won’t get scratched or bent.
- Hard case: It’s like a little house for your glasses—protects them from bumps and scratches.
- Keep them out of the sun: Sunlight can damage the lens coatings, so avoid unnecessary exposure.
- No sharing the case: The case is for your glasses and their microfiber cloth—nothing else should go in there.
3. Daily habits
Small habits, big results
Sometimes big changes start with small steps—simple but powerful daily habits.
- Clean hands: Make sure your hands are clean before touching your glasses.
- Hold by the temples: When putting on or taking off your glasses, always hold them by the temples to avoid bending them.
- Avoid extreme environments: Stay away from very dusty places or sudden temperature changes.
