Glasses are not only tools for correcting vision but also important companions in daily life. Mastering the correct way to take them on and off and maintenance skills can not only extend their lifespan but also avoid lens wear or frame deformation caused by improper operations. Pay attention to details and enjoy clear vision all the time.
Taking on and off glasses may seem simple, but there are many easily overlooked details. When taking off glasses, always hold the ends of the temples with both hands and gently push them outwards. Avoid pulling with one hand, which can cause the temples to deform or the screws to loosen. When putting on glasses, also use both hands. Fully unfold the temples, place them steadily on the nose bridge, and then adjust the curvature of the temples to fit behind the ears, ensuring a stable fit without pressing on the head.
For glasses used during sports or in special scenarios, more caution is needed. For example, it is recommended to take off glasses before intense sports to prevent the frames from being damaged by external collisions. If you need to take them on and off frequently, choose styles with anti - slip nose pads or elastic temples. In addition, when children wear glasses, parents should patiently demonstrate the correct actions to help children develop good habits from an early age.
The way you place your glasses directly affects their lifespan. After taking them off, place them flat on the table or in a storage box with the lenses facing up to avoid scratches from contact with hard objects. Do not casually stuff glasses into your pocket or bag, as the temples may deform due to squeezing, and the lenses may be scratched by sharp objects like keys. When placing them temporarily, you can fold the temples and put them in a soft glasses case.
Environmental factors also affect the condition of glasses. In high - temperature environments (such as in a hot car or a sauna), the frame material may soften and deform, and the lens coating may be damaged. After contact with chemicals (such as perfume or hairspray), clean them promptly to avoid corrosion of the lens or frame coating. In daily use, it is recommended to check the screws for looseness weekly and have the frame tightness adjusted regularly at a professional institution.
Use a special glasses cloth or disposable cleaning wipes to clean the lenses. Avoid using rough materials like the corner of your clothes or tissues. First, rinse the surface of the lenses with water to remove dust, then add a small amount of neutral detergent and gently rub. Finally, dry the lenses with the glasses cloth in one direction to prevent water stains from circular wiping. If there is oil on the lenses, dissolve it with a professional cleaner before rinsing.
Cleaning the frames is also important. For metal frames, use a soft brush to clean the dirt at the nose pads and hinges regularly to prevent corrosion from sweat. For acetate or plastic frames, use a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of alcohol to wipe the gaps. Store glasses that are not worn for a long time in a moisture - proof box and apply a small amount of lubricant to the temple joints to prevent metal parts from rusting.
Many people are used to taking off glasses with one hand. This action causes uneven stress on the temples, which may lead to frame distortion, screw detachment, or even the optical center of the lenses shifting. The correct way is to use both hands and develop the habit of handling them gently. If you find that the temples are significantly skewed, do not try to straighten them yourself. Instead, have them adjusted by a professional using special tools.
Another common mistake is ignoring the regular replacement of nose pads and temple tips. Aging and yellowing silicone nose pads can breed bacteria and affect wearing comfort. Damaged temple tips may scratch the skin or clothes. It is recommended to check the condition of the accessories every 3 - 6 months and replace them in time. For people with significant changes in their prescription, have their eyesight checked regularly and adjust the frame fit.
