How do I clean my spectacles?

How do I look after them?

Here are some of the important DO’s and DON’T’s of looking after your specs!

• DON’T use your clothes/shirt, tissues or toilet paper to clean your lenses.

• DO use the microfiber cloth provided so as not to scratch the anti-reflective coating.

• DON’T use a household cleaner or other chemicals on the lenses.

• DO use a liquid spray that is approved for ophthalmic lenses such as this Zeiss cleaning spray or wipes 

• If the lenses are very dirty, DO use warm water to clean them before spraying. Distilled water would be better.

• DON’T use hot water as this could damage the lenses.

• DON’T leave your spectacles on your car windscreen. The heat will damage the lenses and frame.

• DON’T leave your spectacles in your pocket or thrown in a bag.

• DON’T place your spectacles face down.
