Keep your view beautiful.
A little care, every day. Four simple habits keep coated lenses clear, comfortable and looking their best for longer.
Four lens care steps
01 · Rinse, then wipe.
Remove dust with water and a suitable lens cleaner, then dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Never wipe a dusty lens dry — grit can scratch the surface.
02 · Keep away from heat.
Avoid hot water, car dashboards and other hot places. Heat can damage lenses and coatings.
03 · Use the case.
Protect your glasses when not in use, and keep lenses off hard surfaces — always place glasses lenses-up.
04 · Review your vision.
Arrange eye examinations as advised by your optometrist — your prescription can change over time.
