Regularly cleaning your lenses is the best way to make sure your lenses are kept in tip-top condition and you maintain clear vision.

We’d recommend using a lens cleaner solution to keep them clean as well as minimising the risk of scratching. You can do the same with your sunglasses, safety eyewear or sports eyewear.

Spray cleaners are great for quickly cleaning your glasses on the go. Just blow on each lens before wiping them to remove any debris that could scratch them, spray on plenty of solution, and wipe the lens dry with a microfibre lens cloth.

If you find some of the more fiddly parts of your glasses, like the nosepads, are dirty – come into store and we’ll be happy to help clean them for you.

Often glasses can appear to be dirty, when in fact they’re just scratched. If you’re unsure just come in and our team can help.

Finally, whenever you’re not wearing your glasses, keep them in your glasses case to protect them from any debris and reduce the risk of the lenses getting scratched.

You’ll have noticed in your time wearing glasses that using the bottom of your shirt or a tissue to clean your lenses never quite does the trick. Often it just makes the smudging worse, as they can carry additional dust, dirt or debris.

Microfibre cloths are the best thing to use to clean lenses as they can dry effectively and trap oils, which reduces smudges and smears. Wiping the lenses when they are dry could push debris across the lens and potentially cause scratches.

You’ll get a lens cloth with your glasses case when you buy glasses from us, but just make sure you give the cloth a wash once in a while to remove any oil or dirt collected over time.

If you need more than one pair of glasses, or you find that you’re constantly taking your glasses off and putting them back on throughout the day, you might find this gets tiresome or that you misplace your glasses more than usual.

A fashion chain or cord can come in handy, as you’ll be able take your glasses off without putting them down. Instead, they’ll hang from your chain or cord so that you can pop them back on whenever you need them. They come in a range of styles and colours to suit you.

All glasses cases will protect your glasses from any debris and reduce the risk of your lenses getting scratched. A designer case just helps to make a little extra statement.

Like your glasses, your contact lenses also need protecting. If you wear monthlies, it can be easy to lose track of your supply in the bottom of your bag or around the house. A contact lens case is a good place to keep track and protect your lenses. Pop in your monthly contact lens case or keep a spare pair of daily lenses in there.

There are different levels of dry eye that you can experience. Come into store and we’ll be able to recommend the best type for you.

Unit dose eye drops are available in small vials that allow you to use your drops sparingly.

It’s important to keep your eyelids and lashes clean in order to protect the glands that line your eyelids. It’s also important to prevent the build-up of bacteria that can cause symptoms of dry eye conditions.

We recommend you use your magnifier while wearing your reading glasses. When choosing your magnifier, make sure you’re wearing your reading glasses.

A little bit more clarity when sewing can make it all the more enjoyable. We recommend the multi- angle, illuminated magnifier. This means you’ll be able to stand the magnifier in a fixed position so that you can use both hands to continue sewing.
