Spectacles can be a pain to care for, what with smears, smudges, fingerprints, fogging... Ever wonder how to keep them in good repair so they'll last until your next eye exam? Want to be able to see through them without the smudges? Read on.
Tip 1,
Take them off using two hands, instead of one.
This keeps the earpieces straight and in the right alignment. Taking them off one-handed stretches them out and makes them loose.
Tip 2
Don't put your glasses on the top of your head. This can distort the shape, and there's a greater chance of them falling off and getting damaged that way.
Tip 3
Try not to push them up on your nose by sticking your finger on the nosepiece (right between your eyes) if they're wire-framed. This causes stress on the nose pads, and the centre part of the frame, and if they're any colour but silver, it wears the finish off them. This can be very conspicuous at that spot. Instead, grasp the lenses by putting your thumb at the bottom and fingers at the top, and then move them to where youn want them to sit on your face.
Tip 4
Purchase a microfiber optical cleaning cloth.(Pentax Micro Fibre Cloth) These are generally available at Piccadilly Opticians Birmingham, . To clean them, hold your glasses firmly in one hand. Rinse the glasses with clean water to remove any dust or dirt particles. Take the cloth in your preferred hand and gently rub both sides of each lenses until you can see no smudges. Breathe on them gently so that you can see any spots you missed in the fog, and wipe them quickly, before it evaporates.
Never use the following:
Clothing - dirt trapped in the fibers can scratch the lenses
Paper towels or tissues - these fibers scratch lenses
A dirty microfiber cloth - when you're not using the microfiber cloth, put it in the spectacle case; if it collects dust, it'll scratch the lenses, rather than clean them.
Tip 5
Buy some glasses lens cleaning spray, available from Piccadilly Opticians Birmingham (Solution 30 400ml)
Spray a small amount on both sides of each lens, and repeat the above.
Tip 6
Don't be afraid to call you opticians for help, we at Piccadilly Opticians recommend popping into our store every few month so we can maintain your glasses so they look there best, this is why we are here - FOR YOU.
Tip 7
Keep your glasses in a case when you aren't wearing them. Get one free from your optician, or buy one. When you take your glasses off, put them in the case to keep them from getting scratched. The best ones are the ones that open and close, rather than the ones you slide the glasses into.
Even the act of slipping them in can rub against the lenses and cause minute scratches, which your eyes perceive as haze. Any particles,scratches, or tiny hairline fissures will make it harder for you to see perfectly through your glasses, especially at night or in darkened rooms (light will travel along those scratches, creating halos and prisms). If you aren't putting them in a case, at least make sure the lenses are up, away from any surfaces.

Essilors Info:
Winner of the 2011 Silmo d'Or award in the Vision catagory Optifog represents a real scientific breakthrough.
All spectacle wearers have at some point encountered what we commonly refer to as our ‘glasses steaming up’, or fogging. It doesn’t matter where we are, it always happens when we move from a cold to a hot environment.
For many, this can be problematic as well as being unsightly. It’s also a major inconvenience as we rely on instant vision at all times.
Although there are sprays and solutions available to buy over the counter that reduce the effects of fogging, there has never, until now, been a total solution that will prevent it.
Optifog lenses deliver unique lens technology that gives long lasting fog free vision to all patients.
