When you buy a pair of high quality prescription eyeglasses from the professionals at Union Eye Care your are getting a high quality pair of glasses designed to last a long time. Your fashion eyewear does require proper care if you are going to enjoy them as long as possible.

Here are a few quick hints to help you learn proper care for your prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and designer eyewear. Follow these easy steps to keep your eyeglass lenses looking like new.

1. Always rinse off your lenses with water before wiping or cleaning. Even tiny particles can be abrasive when rubbed across the lens surface.
2. Clean your lenses by using eyeglass spray, liquid cleaner, or just warm water and a little dishwashing liquid. Gently cleanse the lens surface and rinse off or wipe off any residue. Never use chemicals not specifically designed for lenses.
3. Always use a soft, clean cloth to wipe the lens surface after rinsing or cleaning. A 100% cotton cloth is best.
4. If you have to take your glasses off for a minute don’t lay them face down. Keeping the lens surface face up prevents them from coming in contact with dirt and materials that can scratch the lenses.
5. Store your eyeglasses in their case when you're not using them. The case keeps dust and particles off your lenses and prevents them from being accidentally damaged.
