How do prevent scratches on glasses lenses?

1. If the glasses are dirty, do not wipe them immediately

The reasons for the dirty lenses can be roughly divided into two categories:

1) Produced by grease, sweat or fingerprints, etc.: it can be wiped directly with glasses cloth and dry lens wipes;

2) Causes such as sticky dust: first wash off the dust particles on the mirror surface with water. Do not wipe with a glasses cloth or wet paper towel directly, otherwise, it will easily cause scratches and scratch the mirror surface.

2. Try to wash with water first, then clean

Despite the above classification, there is actually more or less some dust sticking to the glasses. During the wiping process, a little force on the pins will leave patterns on the lenses.

3. glasses cloth is a killer, need to pay attention

In addition to the dust on the lenses, the glasses cloth is often a killer.

If the glasses cloth is not cleaned in time, there will be a lot of dust on it. In addition, we often put it in the bag and it is easy to stick to dust. When wiping, a little force will leave patterns.

Therefore, the glasses cloth should be cleaned in time. In addition, the glasses must be unfolded and shaken before use to get rid of the hard particles on them.

4. Place the glasses, pay attention to the lens facing up

Some people are accustomed to placing the glasses at will when they take them off. If they do not pay attention to the fact that the lenses are facing upwards, the lenses are in direct contact with other special bodies, and it is easy to leave patterns, which need to be paid attention to.

Special attention items:

1. Do not use shirts or other clothing to clean the glasses, especially when the lenses are dry. This will scratch your lenses.

2. Do not wet the lens with saliva.

3. Do not use household glass or surface cleaners to clean glasses. These products contain ingredients that can damage eyeglass lenses and coatings.
