Cleaning glasses to care for lenses
Vision is one of the most important senses through which we perceive 85 to 90% of information from the outside. However, in the presence of refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism or presbyopia, prescription glasses allow us to see clearly at different distances. The lenses of the glasses can be eyeglasses or even sunglasses with ultraviolet filter, and the latter can also be graduated. However, even if you do not need to correct any visual defects, it is also possible to protect yourself from the harmful effects of ultraviolet light with sunglasses. To ensure proper vision with our glasses, it is also very important to clean the lenses properly at any time of the year. From InterOptics in Alfaz del Pi we provide advice on how to clean sunglasses or eyeglasses to take care of the lenses.
How to clean sunglasses or eyeglasses in summer?
In order to ensure that sunglasses or eyeglasses are kept in good condition, it is necessary to take proper care of them in all situations. In a recent article published in our blog, we recently explained the risks of leaving sunglasses in the car or in enclosed spaces if they are subjected to high temperatures. Although this is an important tip because high temperatures can deform the frame, it is also very important to know how to clean sunglasses or eyeglasses. In summer, for example, it is especially important to take care of your glasses because sand particles can accumulate on them when you go to the beach. It is even advisable to rinse your glasses under the tap after going to the beach because particles can accumulate on them. In addition, the summer heat itself, both in coastal and inland areas, makes us sweat more and our lenses can get dirty more easily.
In order to take care of the lenses and clean the glasses properly, there are various products that can be used to remove the dirt deposited on them. In our optometry center in Alfaz del Pi we have sprays to clean glasses. Sprays for cleaning glasses are characterized by the fact that they are very easy to use, being recommended only a couple of sprays and then dry with a chamois once the cleaner has been spread over the surface of the lenses. Although there are other products such as eyeglass cleaning wipes that are characterized by not being reusable and are moistened if they are not dispensed by the eye care professional, it is important to avoid using them. These wipes have the advantage that they can be easily carried on your person. However, it is always advisable before cleaning sunglasses or eyeglasses, regardless of the product used, to make sure that there are no particles on the lenses. Specifically, in eyeglasses, if they have incorporated treatments such as anti-reflective coating, it could damage them and affect the visual quality obtained with the lenses. From InterOptics in Alfaz del Pi we recommend a proper cleaning of the glasses to take care of the lenses during the summer.
