Looking after your Glasses

 

Whether you're rocking a bold acetate frame or a minimalist metal pair, your eyeglasses are more than just a vision aid — they’re a daily essential and an investment. At AVENN, we design eyewear to be durable and stylish, but a little extra care goes a long way in preserving both form and function.

Here are simple but essential tips to keep your glasses looking sharp and performing at their best for the long haul:

---

1. Clean Them the Right Way

Avoid the shirt-sleeve temptation — it’s one of the easiest ways to scratch your lenses.

Do this instead:

 

• - Use a microfibre cloth and a proper lens cleaning solution.

• - Rinse your lenses with lukewarm water before wiping to remove dust particles that could scratch the surface.

• - Avoid using tissues, paper towels, or your clothing.

 

Pro Tip: Keep a small microfibre cloth in your bag or car so you're never caught out.

2. Store Them in a Hard Case

When you're not wearing your glasses, store them in a hard protective case — not tossed on the car dash or stuffed into a pocket.

 

This protects them from:

• - Accidental crushing or bending

• - Lens scratches

• - Heat damage (especially in cars)

---

3. Always Use Both Hands

Taking your glasses off with one hand might feel convenient, but it puts stress on the arms and can cause them to become loose or misaligned over time.

 

Use both hands to keep the frame balanced and in shape.

4. Avoid Heat & Chemicals

High heat can warp frames and damage lens coatings. Be cautious of:

 

• - Leaving glasses in a hot car

• - Using hairdryers or steam while wearing them

• - Cleaning lenses with household glass cleaners (they can strip anti-reflective coatings)

 

Stick to products made for eyewear only.

5. Tighten Screws & Adjust When Needed

Loose screws or an ill-fitting frame? Don’t ignore it.

 

• - Use a small eyeglass screwdriver or visit your local optician for a quick tune-up.

• - If your frames feel crooked or slip down your nose, minor adjustments can make a big difference in comfort and durability.

6. Be Gentle

It’s common sense, but worth repeating: be kind to your glasses. That includes:

 

• - Not wearing them on top of your head (it stretches the arms)

• - Not putting them lens-down on surfaces

• - Keeping them out of reach from curious pets or kids
