Essential Care Tips for Your Zenni Glasses

 

Protecting your Zenni glasses is crucial not only to maintain your vision but also to ensure your frames last as long as possible. Here’s a quick guide, inspired by our latest YouTube short, on how to care for your glasses effectively.

1. Always Use a Case

It might seem simple, but consistently storing your glasses in a case is one of the best ways to prevent scratches and other damage. Whether you’re at home or on the go, make sure your glasses have a safe spot away from potential hazards. This simple habit can extend the life of your eyewear significantly.

2. Avoid the Bathroom Sink

Many of us leave our glasses on the bathroom counter without a second thought; however, proximity to beauty products such as hairspray and perfume can damage the lens coatings due to the harsh chemicals they contain. Always remember to store your glasses away from these products to keep the lenses clear and the coatings intact.

3. Use Proper Cleaning Materials

While it’s tempting to just grab the corner of your t-shirt, using clothing or paper towels can scratch your lenses. Similarly, household glass or surface cleaners can strip away the lens coatings. Instead, use a microfiber cloth and a cleaner specifically designed for eyeglasses to keep your lenses in pristine condition.

4. Keep Them Cool

Exposure to extreme heat can warp your frames and damage lens coatings. Never leave your glasses in a hot car or anywhere they can be subjected to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Keeping your glasses cool will help maintain their shape and function.
