Sunglasses aren’t just your allies on bright days, they’re also a fundamental part of your style. But are you taking care of them as you should? At Òptica Santa Maria, we want to give you a helping hand: here are the best tips for keeping your sunglasses looking as good as new.
1. Clean sunglasses, clear vision
After a day at the beach, in the city or in the mountains, your sunglasses deserve a good clean:
- Use mild water and neutral soap to remove dust, grease or salt residue.
- Dry them with a soft microfibre cloth, never with paper or ordinary cloth.
- Avoid dry cleaning or cleaning them with a T-shirt… don’t scratch them!
2. Be careful at the beach
(yes, it’s a battlefield for your glasses)
Sand, salt, sun cream… your glasses need extra protection on sunny days by the sea:
- Never place them directly on the sand.
- Clean them with soft water, not sea water.
- Always store your glasses in a sturdy, hard case.
3. Watch out for the heat!
Sunglasses and extreme heat do not mix well:
- Do not leave them inside the car in the sun.
- Avoid leaving them on hot surfaces or near sources of heat.
- Heat can warp the frame and damage the lens coating.
4. Regular maintenance
Yes, even the most durable glasses need a little TLC:
- Visit your optician to adjust screws or check the general condition of the frame.
- Ask for advice on specific cleaning products.
5. A case is not optional, it is essential.
Where do your glasses go when you’re not wearing them?
- Always in its rigid, clean case.
- Not in an unprotected bag, not on your head, not in the glove compartment!
