Sunglasses
are essential in protecting your eyes from the
harmful Ultra-Violet rays that come from
the sun. You should always use
sunglasses whenever you go outside in direct sunlight. It is important
to know how
to choose a pair of sunglasses that
are just right for you. The proper
selection of
sunglasses can give you years of enjoyment and eye
protection. Sunglasses
should be considered
an investment in the health of your eyesight so
special
care should be taken to maintain them.
Sunglasses are not just for adults but there are sunglasses for children. Here
are some basic tips that
will help you to maintain
your sunglasses.
Sunglasses should be checked
regularly if you wear
them daily
or frequently. The screws of can
become loose and can even fall out. It
is
necessary that the screws are always tight and adjusted
correctly so
the lenses
are comfortable to wear.
You should
routinely check
the alignment of the frame. If not properly aligned it is necessary
that
you
have them professionally adjusted at your earliest convenience. Never
try to
align the frame
yourself. The warranty of the sunglasses will usually
be
cancelled if you damage the frames by
misadjusting them.
Always try to keep you lenses scratch free.
Scratches are
one of the major problems facing sunglass
owners. It is a good idea to
purchase
the scratch resistant feature for all lenses.
For clear unobstructed vision, clean you sunglasses
frequently. Use a lotion-free washing fluid
especially designed for
glass or
plastic to clean the glasses. Or you can use warm water. Finally,
wipe
the
glasses with a lint-free towel. By routinely cleaning both the lens and
frames
the glasses will
last longer and provide you with better service.
When putting on or taking off your glasses always use both
your hands. This will avoid unnecessary
bending and distortion to the
frame.
For safe keeping the glasses should be stored in a
protective case when they are not being used.
Sweat and other moisture can damage the
lens coating
and the
frame finish. You should rinse the
sweat
from the glasses at the earliest possible time.
Never, I repeat never, leave
your sunglasses on
the dash
board of your car or indirect sunlight
unattended for long periods of
time. Heat
can build up inside a closed car to such an extreme
temperature that it
can
seriously damage the lens and distort the frame.
If you follow these simple tips,
your sunglasses
can remain safe
and provide you with many years of
use and enjoyment.
