For myopic children, wearing glasses has become a part of life and learning. But the lively and active nature of children often makes the glasses “hang color”: scratches, deformation, lens falling off…
1. Why can’t you wipe the lens directly?
Kids, how do you clean your glasses when they get dirty? If you didn’t guess wrong, didn’t you take a paper towel and wipe it in a circle? Or pull up the corner of the clothes and wipe it off? This method is convenient but not recommended. There is a layer of coating on the surface of the lens, which can reduce the reflected light on the surface of the lens, make the vision clear, increase the light transmittance, and prevent the damage of ultraviolet rays to the eyes. Daily exposure to the sun and wind will inevitably leave a lot of tiny dust particles on the surface of the lens. If you wipe it dry, the glasses cloth will rub the particles back and forth on the lens, just like polishing the lens with sandpaper, which will damage the surface of the lens coating.
2. Correct glasses cleaning steps
Although the correct cleaning steps are a bit troublesome, it can keep your glasses with you for a longer period of time.
1. First wash off the dust on the surface of the lens with flowing water, be careful not to use hot water;
2. Then use glasses cleaning solution to clean fingerprints, oil stains, and other stains on the surface of the lens. If there is no glasses cleaning agent, you can also use a little neutral detergent instead;
3. Rinse off the cleaning solution with clean water;
4. Finally, use a lens cloth or paper towel to blot the water droplets on the lens. Note that it is blotted, not wiped!
5. The dirt in the gaps of the glasses frame is not easy to clean, you can go to the optical shop to clean it with ultrasonic waves.
Note: Some glasses are not suitable for ultrasonic cleaning, such as polarized lenses, tortoiseshell frames, etc.
3. How to remove and wear glasses
Of course, you have to take good care of your own small glasses, and you have to be careful when you take off and put on your glasses, so that you can better protect your glasses.
1. When wearing and taking off glasses, use both hands to take them off in parallel. If you often take off and put on glasses with one hand facing one side, it is easy to deform the frame and affect the wearing;
2. When the frame is found to be deformed and loose, go to the optician center to adjust it in time, especially for frameless or half-rim glasses. Once the screws are loose, the lens may fall off.
4. Conditions for storage of glasses
When you take off the glasses and throw them away casually, but accidentally sit on them and crush them! This situation is too common in youth optician centers!
1. For temporary placement, it is recommended to place the mirror legs in parallel or place the lens facing up after folding. Do not let the lens directly touch the table, etc., to prevent lens wear;
2. If you do not wear it for a long time, you need to wrap the lens with glasses cloth and place it in the glasses case;
3. Avoid placing in direct sunlight and high temperature environment for a long time to prevent the frame from fading or deforming.
5. Under what circumstances do I need to replace the glasses with new ones?
Although we need to take good care of our glasses and try to make them accompany us for a longer period of time, glasses also have a wearing cycle, and it doesn’t mean that the longer you wear them, the better.
1. The eyesight corrected by wearing glasses is less than 0.8, or the blackboard cannot be seen clearly, and it should be replaced in time when it cannot meet the needs of daily learning eyes;
2. Severe wear on the surface of the lens will affect the clarity, and it is recommended to replace it in time;
3. Adolescents and children should check the diopter changes regularly. It is generally recommended to recheck once every 3-6 months. When the diopter of glasses is not suitable, they should be replaced in time to avoid aggravating eye fatigue and causing the diopter to increase faster;
4. Teenagers and children are in the growth and development period, and the face shape and nose bridge height are constantly changing. Even if the diopter has not changed, when the size of the glasses frame does not match the child, it should be replaced in time.
Have you learned about the maintenance of glasses? In fact, not only children but also big friends who wear glasses should also pay attention.
