Generally, we recommend taking care of your glasses on a regular basis. If you have high prescription glasses, you know that taking care of them is crucial. Since you'll be wearing the same prescription eyeglasses for years, it's essential to give the same amount of attention to taking care of your prescription glasses as to choosing the right pair of trendy glasses. So, what are the specific steps? We're about to reveal the tips and tricks of how to care of your eyeglasses:

We're starting things off with an effortless note. Cleaning your glasses frames is a top priority. Unfortunately, not a lot of people do that. But, we do recommend adding it to your to-do list. We know you wear your prescription glasses almost everywhere; you have a higher chance of getting fingerprints, dust and other things on the lenses that can affect your vision. So, how can you clean your glasses? Here's what you need to do:

• Use your cleaning solution to spray the lenses of your prescription glasses. Be careful not to have harsh chemicals involved in the liquid. So, always pay attention to the components of your cleaning solution.
• Use a microfiber cloth or paper towels to wipe out the liquid from your lenses slowly.
• Let the lenses dry out for a few minutes before putting your prescription glasses frames back on.

Aren't these simple? There is no guarantee as to where you can get your glasses frames dirty, so carry your cleaning kit with you wherever you go! But, if you have specific lens categories or lens coatings, you might want to work harder on caring for your prescription glasses. We know that if you follow these rules, you'll have your fashionable prescription glasses clean at all times!

As mentioned earlier, you should use a specific type of cloth or categories for your prescription glasses when wiping away the smudges off the lenses. Should you wish not to have your cleaning solution with you at all times, make sure to have your microfiber cloth as a backup plan. Glasses wearers make the mistake of using the back of their shirts for cleaning. Little do they know they're damaging their lenses instead of adequately caring for their prescription glasses. So, why use a microfiber cloth or lens wipes on your trendy glasses frames?

First, microfiber is highly absorbent, so it is perfect for removing anything from the surface of your fashionable glasses frames. Also, microfiber cloths last for a long time when properly maintained and used; you don't have to worry about their lifespan. Moreover, they are lint-free, making any microfiber cleaning cloths ideal for your prescription glasses. With that comes another responsibility like handwashing your microfiber cloth frequently. It's best to use lotion-free dishwashing liquid and clean water, then let the microfiber cloth dry out in the air.

Another great way to care for your prescription glasses is to store them in the right place. If you want your trendy glasses to be around for years, you need to consider how well you can nail this task. Allow us to guide you with these tips:

• Place your prescription glasses in a hard case with the correct size when you're not wearing them.
• Get a backup eyewear case for your glasses frames in the chance of losing or damaging the primary one.
• Place your prescription glasses in the case with the lenses facing up to avoid any unwanted scratches.
• Do not leave your affordable prescription glasses in the heat. The sun can damage your eyewear frames and give them a shorter lifespan.
• Do not put your glasses frames in a bag or purse without covering them with your microfiber cloth or first putting them in their pocket cases.

To wrap things up, place the well-being of your prescription glasses first when thinking about storage.

We know what you're thinking; it's probably a little extreme to think about that way to care for your prescription glasses. But it's actually true. People make the mistake of removing their glasses recklessly. The best way to do so is by using both hands while taking off your prescription glasses. Unfortunately, using one hand can cause a misalignment of the frame, weakening the screws and eventually breaking the glasses. The best solution would be to place your fingers on the temple arms of your glasses frames and not on the front lenses.

Do you happen to remove your prescription glasses quite often? Sometimes both of our hands aren't available to carefully remove the glasses. You should be careful not to lose them along the way. With fashion always being on the move, you can now accessorize your trendy glasses by adding glasses chains! In addition, you can carefully take off your prescription glasses without having to worry about misplacing them. You'll get the best of both worlds. There's a wide variety of glasses rope chain to choose from. All you have to do is select the one that complements your prescription glasses frames.

Since we're still on the subject of storage and placing your glasses carefully, another great way to care for your prescription glasses is to avoid putting them on your head. All glasses-wearers have done that at least once because it seems like the easier way out. We know how the situation goes: you might be in a hurry, so you won't have time to remove your glasses frames; store your glasses in the case, then repeat the process if you want to take the prescription glasses out. So, you end up putting them on your head. WRONG!

This unwanted habit can stretch the temples of your prescription glasses. As a result, your glasses frames will loosen up and fall off your face once you put them back on. Of course, all affordable prescription glasses will eventually lose their strength. The screws will make your glasses have a terrible form by opening and closing your frames over the years. So, pay attention to the screws have your optometrist look at them for readjustment.

As we've almost reached the end of this section, our final advice is to learn the value of properly wearing your glasses frames. It's all about creating good habits. In other words, from the very first try, the chosen glasses frames should sit comfortably on your nose and stay in this position at all times.

Do not make the mistake of resting your glasses at the end of your nose. They'll slip on the first chance, and you can risk breaking your trendy glasses frames in pieces. Also, the right pair of prescription glasses should rest comfortably on the bridge of your nose without pressing on your forehead and cheeks.

Now that we're coming down to the end, our final tip on how to care for your prescription glasses involves the nose piece. As mentioned earlier, your fashionable glasses frames will become loose with time. So, avoid pushing them back up by placing your fingers on the nose piece. If you have wire glasses, this move can distort the nose piece, so your prescription glasses will make you feel uncomfortable and end up looking funny.
