Okanagan Optical







Care and Cleaning of Your Eyewear






  • Always use both hands when putting your glasses on and taking them off
 
  • Make sure that you have a proper eyeglass case in which to store your eyeglasses when they are not in use. At Okanagan Optical, we provide a complimentary case with every eyeglass purchase. Also, make sure that your case is kept clean and free of abrasive particles.
 
  • Rinse the lenses under the tap prior to cleaning.  This removes debris that may cause scratches if rubbed into the lens. Use mild soap or lens cleaner to remove oil and grease and wipe with a clean, soft cloth.
 
  • Do not use paper tissues or paper towels.  They will scratch the lenses.
 
  • Avoid petroleum-based cleaner, solvents, etc, as they may soften or distort plastic or polycarbonate lenses.
 
  • If you have reflection-free lenses, avoid high heat and humidity. Also, avoid fabric softener on the cloth you wipe the lenses with.
 
  • Do not leave your eyeglasses exposed to sunlight in your car, as the internal heat may cause the frame to soften and the lenses to craze.
 
  • Remove your eyeglasses and cover them with a towel before using hairspray as it can cause spotting on reflection-free lenses.
 
  • To prevent scratches, do not place your glasses lens side down.
 
  • Have your eyeglasses adjusted regularly.
 
  • No matter how careful your are, your eyeglasses can become misaligned.
