For the best gift that keeps on giving

Did you know? Many people make the number one mistake of cleaning their glasses with the product we all love, Windex!  Windex and acetone are both harmful to your lenses and can ruin them.  The best way to keep your glasses clean is to stop getting them dirty!  We know this may seem like an easy concept but we see this habit of not cleaning your glasses correctly on a daily basis.  However, scratching can occur with just one wipe of the lens.  In fact, anytime an object that is harder than the optical coating is being pressed against the lens, this may cause scratches. 

How can we prevent this?  When cleaning your glasses, make  sure that the lenses are wet and the cloth you are using is clean.  For the best gift that keeps on giving, clean your glasses with cleaning solutions that will not harm your lenses.  Specialized cleaning kits are available at our office.
