for how to make sure you take care of your glasses!
Rinse your glasses before cleaning them.
Always rinse off your glasses before you wipe them or clean them.
This is something most people don't even think about doing, but you should!
RInse off your glasses with water to ensure that you get them as clean as you possibly
can.
, you ask?
Well, tiny dust or dirt particles can easily settle on the lens of your glasses, and if
you wipe around those tiny particles on a dry lens, it can tend to be abrasive.
Spray: If you are in desperate need to clean your glasses with a chemical, you should never
spray them with a household cleaner like windex.
This is because these types of household cleaners contain ammonia, which can tear off the coating
that is on your lens!
Instead of using household cleaners, you should use special sprays or cleaners which are designed
and made specifically for glasses.
You'll thank me later!
Air Dry: If you clean your glasses and need them to dry, the best way for you to let them
dry is to just air dry them.
This will keep harmful materials from getting onto your lenses.
If you can't put them down to let them air dry, then wipe your glasses down with a soft
cloth that is lint-free.
Use the right cloth to clean your glasses: When you are using a cloth to clean your glasses,
you should never use paper towels, napkins, or tissues to clean or dry them.

your lenses!
You should also avoid using your shirt or any other piece of clothing.
This is because clothing that is not 100 percent cotton contain fibers which can scratch your
glasses after excessive use.
Clothing can also tend to have dirt on it, which means that when you try to clean your
glasses with a piece of clothing, the dirt will just transfer over to the lenses of your
glasses.

one of the easiest ways you can avoid damaging your glasses.
When you are not wearing your glasses, store them away properly.
Not only will this keep your glasses away from dust and dirt, but it will also protect
them from getting scratched or broken.

quite risky.

good quality glasses case, and always put your glasses in the case when you are not
using them.
