When you invest in luxury eyewear from Charlotte Jones Opticians, you’re not just purchasing a pair of glasses—you’re investing in craftsmanship, design, and clarity. A finely made frame deserves proper care to ensure it looks impeccable and functions flawlessly for years to come. Proper maintenance isn’t just about keeping your glasses clean; it’s about preserving their integrity, comfort, and longevity. Here’s how to keep your eyewear in pristine condition.

Clean Your Lenses the Right Way

High-quality lenses require high-quality care. Avoid using tissues, paper towels, or the hem of your shirt to wipe your lenses—these can create micro-scratches that dull clarity over time. Instead:
 

• Use a microfiber cleaning cloth designed for eyewear.

• Opt for a lens cleaning spray or warm water with a mild, lotion-free soap.

• Gently pat the lenses dry with a clean microfiber cloth—no rubbing.

Store Your Glasses Properly

Tossing your glasses on a table or into a bag without protection is a recipe for scratches and misalignment. Always store them in a hard-shell case when not in use. If you prefer a more compact option, a microfiber pouch will help prevent minor dust and debris from collecting on the lenses.

Handle with Care

Luxury eyewear is designed with precision, and even the slightest misalignment can affect the way they fit and feel.
 

• Never place them lens-down on a surface.

• Avoid resting them on your head, which can stretch the temples over time.

Keep Them Away from Heat and Chemicals

Frames and lenses can be sensitive to extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals. To preserve their quality:
 

• Never leave your glasses in a hot car, as excessive heat can warp frames and damage coatings.

• Keep them away from hair sprays, perfumes, and household cleaners, which can degrade lens coatings and frame finishes.

Adjustments Should Be Left to the Experts

If your glasses start to feel loose, slip down your nose, or sit unevenly, resist the urge to bend them back into place yourself. Luxury frames are carefully designed for optimal balance, and improper adjustments can cause unnecessary stress on the material. Instead, bring them to us for a professional tune-up to ensure they maintain their perfect fit.
