Unfortunately, 80% of lens scratches occur by cleaning eyewear incorrectly. Protect your investment by following these proper lens care instructions.
Proper Lens Care
Begin by rinsing your lenses with warm water and a mild soap without additives. You may also use an approved lens cleaning solution provided by your eyecare professional. Never use glass cleaner or other household cleaners. Avoid all chemicals including hairspray, perfume, and cologne, which are harmful to eyeglass lenses.
Next, dry your lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth. You may also use a microfiber cloth specially designed for your eyewear. Never use facial tissue or paper towel as they will scratch your lenses. Finally, never leave your eyeglasses in direct sunlight or in a hot car. The heat can damage your lenses as well as your eyeglass frames. Additionally, never leave your eyeglasses facing downward. Always keep them in a case when not in use.
For more information about the care and performance of your new eyewear, ask a staff member.

LASIK is a procedure of the eye that uses lasers to correct several vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure reshapes the cornea with a laser to adjust the power of the eye. The surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist and recovery time is minimal.
