Frame Maintenance Tips
Frames are an important component of your eyeglasses. Here’s how you can maintain them:
- Gentle Cleaning
- Use a mild soap or lens cleaning solution to clean your frames regularly, and avoid abrasive cleaners or alcohol-based solutions that can damage the frame material.
- Proper Handling
- Always use both hands to wear and remove your glasses to prevent misalignment or bending.
