Getting Used to Spectacles

• Wear Gradually: Start in the morning, increasing daily use.

• Initial Issues: Blurriness or headaches may occur. Contact us if they persist after one week (single-focus) or two weeks (multifocal).

 

Caring for Spectacles

Spectacles can break suddenly from accidents or weaken over time due to wear and tear, and mishandling. This can be frustrating and costly. Glory Eyecare offers a scheme to ease ownership worries—ask us for details. Here are tips to prevent breakage.

​​​​​​​​​​​​

• Extreme Temperatures: Avoid leaving glasses in a car or exposing them to temperatures above 60°C, as heat can damage lenses and frames.

• Storage: Store glasses in a hard case to prevent damage. Avoid pressure when closing, and don’t place them in pockets without a case. Consider buying multiple cases for convenience.

• Prevent Scratches: Keep glasses away from hard or rough surfaces to prevent lens and frame scratches.

• Hinge & Nose Pad Care: Avoid hanging glasses on your collar or head. Use both hands when putting them on or taking them off. Don’t test spring hinges unnecessarily.

• Prevent Damage: Avoid wearing glasses in situations where they may be hit or while reading in bed.

• Check Your Seat: Always check your seat before sitting to avoid breaking glasses.

• Avoid Smudges: Wash hands before handling glasses. Grip frames only, and protect lenses from grease, makeup, and oils. Remove glasses in bad weather and before sleeping.

• Cleaning: Rinse with cold water, use mild dishwashing liquid or lens spray, and dry with a microfiber cloth. Wash the cloth regularly without fabric softener. Avoid tissues or dish towels.

• Tighten Screws: Keep a screwdriver handy to check and tighten loose screws regularly, e.g. quarterly or earlier, to prevent lenses and nose pads come off and disappear.

• Professional Adjustment: Seek professional help for adjustments. Avoid super glue, as it voids the warranty.

• Right Eyewear: Choose sports eyewear for workouts or durable memory material frames. For children, consider contact lenses or sport eyewear.
