Cleaning Routine
Drying Cloth: Wipe dry with a clean microfiber cloth. Never use paper towels, tissues, shirt hems, or bath towels, as wood fibers and rough textures scratch lens coatings.
Safe Cleansers: Apply a drop of mild, lotion-free dish soap or dedicated optical lens spray to both sides of the lenses.
Frame Care: Gently wipe nose pads, temples, and frame hinges daily to prevent skin oils and sweat from breaking down the frame material.
Storage and Usage
Case Protection: Store glasses in a hard-shell protective case whenever they are not being worn, with lenses facing upward.
Two-Handed Removal: Always put on and take off your glasses using both hands to prevent stretching the temples and misaligning the frame fit.
Avoid Heat Damage: Never leave glasses in a hot vehicle, near stove tops, or under hair dryers. High heat causes protective coatings (anti-reflective and scratch-resistant) to crack or peel.
Professional Adjustments: Avoid bending frames manually if they feel loose or crooked. Visit a branch for a free frame realignment. Store glasses in a hard-shell protective case whenever they are not being worn, with lenses facing upward.

Contact Lenses

Handling & Cleaning
Hand Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly with unperfumed, antibacterial soap and dry completely with a lint-free towel before touching your eyes or lenses.
Rub and Rinse: Place the lens in your palm, add a few drops of fresh multi-purpose solution, and gently rub both sides with your index finger for 10–15 seconds before storing.
Fresh Solution Only: Discard old solution from the case after each use. Never "top off" solution, and never expose lenses to tap water, bottled water, or saliva.
Case Hygiene: Rinse your lens case daily with fresh contact lens solution (never water) and let it air-dry upside down on a clean tissue. Replace the case every 1 to 3 months.
Essential Safety Rules
No Water Exposure: Remove lenses before swimming, showering, or using hot tubs to prevent severe microbial eye infections.
Adhere to Wear Schedules: Never sleep in contact lenses unless explicitly prescribed for extended wear. Replace daily, bi-weekly, or monthly lenses strictly on schedule.
Makeup Order: Put contact lenses in before applying makeup, and take them out before removing makeup to keep cosmetic particles out of your eyes.
Emergency Sign: If you experience sudden redness, pain, excessive watering, or blurred vision, remove your lenses immediately and consult an eyecare specialist.
