Prevention is Key:

While regular cleaning is essential, taking preventive measures can help prolong the lifespan of your glasses and sunglasses. Always store them with the lenses facing upward to prevent scratches, especially when placed on hard surfaces. Invest in a clean glasses case to protect them from dust and debris when not in use. Additionally, be mindful of where you place your eyewear to avoid accidental damage from being crushed or scratched. Remember, avoid using paper towels and tissues which can create micro-scratches on your lens surface. Also, keep your glasses and sunglasses out of the car when it is hot to prevent damage from extreme temperatures.
