If you’ve ever wondered why your glasses lenses get damaged after just one, two, or three years, you’re not alone.
Time indeed flies, and glasses are a part of our daily lives—which means they’re constantly exposed to wear and tear.
Glasses in Everyday Life
We use glasses in many ways:
- We put them on and take them off at least 50 times a day.
- We work, read, cook, and even walk while wearing them.
- We often don’t store them in a case but leave them on a table, in a bag, a pocket, or even on top of our heads.
This constant use and lack of care for protecting glasses lead to small scratches and damage that accumulate over time.
Materials Are Susceptible to Wear
Even lenses with the most advanced coatings are susceptible to wear.
Regardless of quality, no material is indestructible.
Scratches often occur due to:
- Improper cleaning (using tissues, clothing, or paper).
- Leaving glasses on rough surfaces without protection.
- Exposure to dust and tiny particles from the environment.
How to Prolong the Life of Your Lenses
Here are some tips to help protect your lenses and avoid damage:
- Use a case – Always store your glasses in a protective case when not in use.
- Clean properly – Use a microfiber cloth and a cleaner designed for lenses.
- Avoid rough surfaces – Never leave them directly on a table or other surfaces.
- Be careful when storing – Don’t wear them on top of your head or push them into a pocket without protection.
Important to Know
Even with the best care, it’s normal for lenses to wear out over time.
If you notice your glasses are damaged after a couple of years, it may be time to replace the lenses.
Today’s dynamic lifestyle and frequent use of glasses are the main factors accelerating wear.
By investing in high-quality lenses and maintaining them properly, you can enjoy clear and comfortable vision for much longer.
Remember, your glasses are your everyday helper, so give them the care they deserve!
