How do I maintain my sunglasses?

Put your sunglasses on and take them off with both hands

Using only one hand to put on and take off your sunglasses can cause your sunglasses to become deformed.This way, your sunglasses will become crooked and likely won't fit comfortably anymore. If your sunglasses do become a bit misshapen, have them readjusted at one of our stores.


Don't put your sunglasses in your hair

Many people find it convenient to put their sunglasses in their hair. However, this isn't a good idea: the frames can warp and the lenses wear down. It's best to store your sunglasses in a special case when you're not wearing them. 


Clean the glasses with lukewarm water

Is there sand or other dirt on your sunglasses? Rinse them with lukewarm water. This way, you'll rinse your glasses clean without scratching them. 


Use a special glasses spray

To clean the lenses of your sunglasses, use a special eyeglass spray, which is available in our stores. Be careful not to use any other type of spray or cleaning agent; this can damage the protective coating on the lenses. 


Use a glasses cloth

It's crucial to clean your sunglasses with a special cloth. Paper towels or other paper towels contain wood fibers and can permanently damage the lenses of your sunglasses. Clothing can also leave behind dust particles that scratch and damage the protective coating. 


Make sure your sunglasses don't get too hot

Of course, you should be able to wear your sunglasses when you're out in the sun. However, it's important to ensure they don't get too warm. For example, don't leave your sunglasses in your car on a hot day. Because it can get very hot in a car, the frames can become warped and the protective coating on the lenses can crack. 


Store your sunglasses in a case 

When you're not wearing your sunglasses, store them in a designated case. This minimizes the risk of damage.
