Glass Care
Glass glasses are durable and resistant to external physical irritants. True, they are heavy. In addition, high diopters make the glass thick and massive.
- Glass glasses for glasses need to be washed from time to time. It is best to use special liquids and wipes for glasses - wet from special soft paper or microfiber-based fabric.
- If there are no special products at hand, stained with sweat, washed with grease, water or dusty glass with warm water and a detergent (for dishwashing, for example) and wiped dry with a soft flannel or cotton cloth. The fabric should be clean.
Plastic Glass Care

- Breathing on the glass and wiping with what turned up under the arm is the easiest way, but also the most destructive for plastic glasses, especially if there is a dimming or protective coating on the surface of the plastic. Wipe them with a very soft cloth or microfiber cloths.
- Particular attention is required to plastic glasses with various coatings - anti-reflective, protective (from UV rays, for example) and sun protection. They can not be wiped with "caustic" fat-dissolving agents, it is necessary to avoid contact with ammonia, acids and, if possible, fats.
- From time to time, plastic glasses with or without spraying must be washed in warm water with the addition of a mild detergent (can be used for dishes). But wet glasses wipes and special cleaning fluids that can be easily purchased at any optics store are best suited.
