Nowadays, buying glasses online has been a common business model, and more and more people are enjoying the low cost and huge selection of eyeglasses online. Someone may claim there is no face-to-face communications before the online purchase. It is the fact, so we prepared answers for some common questions, such as how to choose the frame for your face shape? What lens material is good for me? And today’s topic is How to maintain eyeglasses, especially rimless eyeglasses.

Do

• Clean with fiber cleaning cloth. At Nox Glass we supply a cleaning cloth with every order. Use this daily to keep your lenses clear.

• Wash your glasses with warm soapy water, rinse well and dry with a clean piece cloth. You can do this as often as you find necessary. If lenses are particularly dirty, use a lens spray or soapy water and soft tissue to clean, and then polish with your microfiber cloth.

• If there is sand or grit on the lenses, wash under cool water and then wipe off with a soft towel. Clean with the microfiber cloth.
• Use both hands while taking off and wearing your glasses. Also do not keep them on your forehead. They can get ‘loosened’ because of rough handling. This is very important for rimless glasses, because the rimless glasses lack of the rim to hold the lens, and connect them, they are more fragile, and need to handle with more care.
• When not in use, always keep your glasses in the specs case to avoid dust particles settling on them. Every glasses bought in Nox Glass will be shipped in the case, and you can use it for daily keeping.
• Keep a spare pair of spectacles just in case your only pair breaks or gets lost.
• Do have your rimless glasses adjusted every one or two months to prevent them from sliding. If you wear hingeless rimless frames, there is no concern of this kind. For the rimless glasses whose lens is connected with screws, Nox Glass ship a mini screw-driver specially design for the eyeglass repair. You can use this screw-driver to adjust your glasses every one or two month.

• Leave the frames folded or unfolded with the bottom edge of the lenses up and the arms curling up to the sky on a flat surface to dry.

Do Not
• Never lay your eyeglasses face down. This will scratch the center of the lens.
• Never use abrasives or solvents on your frames or lenses. Most frame materials and some lenses will be damaged beyond repair by these substances. Avoid contact with acetone, ammonia, glue, and hairspray .
• Never expose your eyeglasses to excessive heat (eg the dash of the car in summer), as this may stretch the frame and cause the lenses to crack.
• Avoid wiping or rubbing dry lenses. This is usually when they scratch.

Above information are the essential rules to follow to take good care of your eyeglasses. Hope your beloved eyeglasses healthy and work for you as long as possible.
