The right pair of sunglasses can become part of your everyday uniform. Whether they're always in your bag, travelling with you or worn from morning to afternoon, a little care can help keep your eyewear looking its best.

From cleaning your lenses correctly to storing your frames safely, here's how to take care of your sunglasses.

Keep Your Sunglasses In Their Case

One of the easiest ways to protect your eyewear is to keep your sunglasses safely stored when you're not wearing them.

Leaving sunglasses loose in a bag can expose the lenses to keys, phones and other objects that may cause scratches. It's also best to avoid placing them lens-side down on surfaces.

For added protection, our Le Specs Protective Case provides a safe place to store your favorite frames at home or on the go, helping protect them from everyday knocks, scratches and damage.

Clean Your Lenses The Right Way

When your sunglasses pick up fingerprints or smudges, avoid wiping them with clothing or rough fabrics.

Instead, use a clean microfiber cloth and a suitable lens cleaning solution. Our Le Specs Cleaning & Repair Kit makes it easy to keep your eyewear fresh at home or on the go, with a cleaning spray, microfiber cloth and mini screwdriver for minor adjustments.

Keep your cloth clean too, as trapped dirt can transfer back onto the lenses.

Avoid Heat & Harsh Chemicals

Avoid leaving your sunglasses in excessive heat for long periods, particularly inside a parked car or directly in the sun, as high temperatures can affect the frame.

Sunscreen, hairspray, makeup and other products can also build up on your eyewear. Wipe away residue when needed and avoid using harsh household cleaning products on your lenses or frames.

Handle Your Frames With Care

Using both hands to put on and remove your sunglasses helps avoid unnecessary pressure on the temples and hinges.

If your sunglasses begin sitting unevenly or feeling different over time, avoid bending the frame back into position yourself. A professional adjustment is the safer option.

Take Extra Care Around Water

Beach and pool days can expose your sunglasses to salt water, sand and other residue. Give them a gentle clean afterwards before returning them to their case.
