Your glasses and contact lenses aren’t just accessories—they are vital tools that support your daily vision and overall eye health. Whether you rely on contacts, glasses, or both, proper care ensures clear sight, comfort, and longevity. At Enny Eye Care, we emphasize that protecting your eyewear means protecting your eyes.
Caring for Your Glasses
- Clean Daily with Care
Use a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner (not clothing or tissues) to avoid scratches. Rinse under lukewarm water before wiping to remove dust. - Store Safely
Always keep your glasses in a hard case when not in use. Leaving them on tables, in bags, or under pillows invites scratches or breakage. - Avoid Heat Exposure
Don’t leave glasses in hot cars or near stoves—heat can warp frames and damage lens coatings. - Regular Adjustments
Visit your optometrist for frame adjustments. DIY bending often leads to cracks or poor fit, which can cause headaches or eye strain.
Caring for Your Contact Lenses
- Follow Replacement Schedules
Never extend wear beyond what’s prescribed (daily, biweekly, or monthly). Overuse can cause infections and corneal damage. - Practice Hygiene
Wash and dry your hands before touching contacts. Use fresh lens solution daily—never water or saliva. - Proper Cleaning & Storage
Rub and rinse lenses with solution (if not using disposables). Clean and replace storage cases every 1–3 months. - Avoid Sleeping in Lenses (Unless Approved)
Most contacts aren’t designed for overnight wear—it reduces oxygen supply to the cornea and increases risk of infection.
General Tips for Both
- Have a backup pair of glasses even if you wear contacts most of the time.
- Keep your prescription updated with regular eye exams.
- Protect both glasses and contacts from dust, chemicals, and excessive handling.
