The usefulness of sunglasses can never be overemphasized.
It is a form of protective eye-wear designed primarily to prevent bright
sunlight and high-energy visible light from damaging or discomforting the eyes.
They can sometimes also function as a visual aid, as variously termed
spectacles or glasses exist, featuring lenses that are colored, polarized or
darkened.
When you find a pair of sunglasses that look
great and feel wonderful, you can become very attached to them. The trouble is,
most sunglasses are a big part of an active and sometimes outdoor lifestyle, so
they can often be susceptible to wear & tear.
Taking proper care of your sunglasses is an
easily achievable task if you know what you are doing.
Here
are some tips to help you hold on to your sunnies and keep them in good
condition.
1. Take Time to Clean Them Properly
To clean lenses, it’s best to use a gentle
lens solution. To avoid scratches, never wipe the lens when they're dry (there
may be dust or particles) and don't use paper towels or other rough materials.
Be extra careful when cleaning prescription sunglasses, as the lenses can be
more delicate than non-prescription lenses.
2. Keep
it in a Sturdy Case
Always carry your sunglasses in a sturdy case
when you’re not wearing them. To keep them in shape, use both hands to take
them off and never put them face down onto a surface – scratches can be very
annoying, or ruin your lenses. It’s best to avoid wearing them on your head as
it can distort the shape.

3. Keep
your fingers off of the lens area
Try to keep your fingers off of the lens
area. Fingers can leave smudges and oily marks. If you have a mark on the lens,
never scratch at it with your fingernail to remove it. Use a cleaning solution
made for your lenses and rub gently to avoid scratching the surface.
4. Don’t
take it to high risk areas where it can be easily get broken
A good way to prevent losing your sunglasses
in certain environments is to not bring them there in the first place. Avoid
bringing your sunglasses into “high risk” locations. Don’t carry your
sunglasses into restaurants, movie theaters, and business locations. You need
them outside when you get back to your car. So, leave them there, where you
already have a “home” for them
