Designer Eyewear Care? Tips for Longevity
Purchasing eyewear is relative to what you can afford, but when you have extended yourself to acquiring designer eyewear, your investment needs considerable care and consideration for you to keep your purchase in good condition and help maintain a long life before your next investment is due. Here’s what the experienced experts suggest to help you care for your designer eyewear.
First base; regular inspection
Just as you would service your vehicle regularly, and inspect the tires even more often because you know that a lack of air can damage the tires quickly, a regular inspection of your eyewear may detect a problem in the early stages so that you can organize your designer eyewear repairs before the difficulty becomes expensive or even impossible.
Checking for signs of wear may easily show a problem where a hinge screw is loose and it can be easily tightened, if not by yourself, by your choice of eyewear technician.
By looking carefully at the alignment of your eyewear in front of the mirror you will quickly be able to see if they have become misaligned and you may require a frame adjustment before it reaches the stage of full designer eyewear repairs.
Clean your eyewear regularly
There are many ways that you can clean your designer eyewear regularly, including rinsing them under lukewarm tap water to clear away any dust or grit that can cause scratching of the glass. You can remove smudges and oil from your skin, often seen as fingerprints, by using a spray-on lens cleaner. A quick clean with a microfiber lens cloth can dramatically prolong the length of time you can use your eyewear successfully.
Should you not know that sweat and skin can damage the designer eyewear lens coatings and frames, you will now understand why most people clean and rinse away any perspiration from their eyewear as soon as possible. Those same individuals will never use fingers or nails to remove an aggressive spot on the lens surface. This will help prevent scratches and a future branded eyewear repair.
Protection for your eyewear
The purchase of one or more protective cases will help prevent damage to your eyewear, and remembering not to place them glass side down on a surface will help protect the lens even when your case is not available. Sunglasses or reading glasses in a case will help avoid scratching and crushing and keep your designer model clean.
Where you can avoid leaving your eyewear on the dashboard of your vehicle you will help to prolong the life of the frame and the lenses – and not stretching your eyewear frames across the top of your head will prove to be a long-term benefit.
Should the worst happen, branded eyewear repairs can be carried out by expert professionals who will be able to restore your frames so that your friends and family will never guess they are not a new purchase, direct from your favorite store.
These are just a few simple ideas that will help protect and prolong the life of your designer eyewear and reduce the number of occasions where your branded eyewear repairs will be required.
