Looking After Your Glasses

Looking After Your Glasses
10 ways to care for your glasses and sunglasses
•Never place your glasses with the lenses down
•Use a Hilco mini-screwdriver to keep the screws tight
•Keep them in a case when you are not using them
•Avoid leaving plastic sunglasses on the car dashboard in hot weather as they may distort
•Clean the lenses with a lint-free cloth - Hilco micro fibre cloths are ideal and available from your optician
•Always use a specially formulated lens cleaner to clean your lenses. Many coated lenses will smear with unsuitable cleaning solutions. We recommend Hilco Crystal Clear, which is available from your optician
•Should the fit become loose - return them to your optician who will be able to make simple adjustments to make them fit properly again
•Always use both hands when removing your frames. This prevents snagging and reduces the chance of breaking a side temple
•Wearing your sunglasses on the top of your head may look chic, but it stretches them and they won't fit as a result
•Send your sunglasses to us once a year for their annual overhaul
