4. Avoid contact with chemical substances:


Avoid touching the glasses to chemical substances such as household cleaners, hairspray, perfume, or solvents, as they can damage the surface or coatings of the frames.


5. Avoid high-temperature environments:


Avoid touching the glasses to high temperatures, such as near heat sources, inside cars, or direct sunlight, because the heat can deform the frames or damage the coatings.


6. Proper removal of eyeglasses:


Avoid excessive bending or twisting of the frames to prevent damaging the temple arms or causing frame deformation. When taking off your glasses, use both hands to gently remove them, grasping the temple arms, and lifting them off your face, then place them in the glasses case.

7. Regular inspections:


Regularly check for loose screws or damaged parts on the glasses. If any issues are found, promptly contact a professional eyeglass repair shop for repairs. They can make necessary adjustments to the frames, nose pads, or temple arms to ensure a proper and comfortable fit. If you are skilled, you can also adjust them at home manually.


8. Placing glasses lens-side upward:


When placing your glasses on a table or any other surface, ensure that the lenses are facing upward to prevent direct contact between the lenses and a hard surface, which can cause scratches.
