After a certain period of use of glasses, minor problems with the frame will gradually emerge. Many people think that the lifespan of the glasses has expired, but the damage to the frame is similar every time. It is only from professionals that it is known that the damage to glasses comes from the four major bad habits in daily life.
Bad habit one: habitually taking off glasses unilaterally can easily damage the temples.
Many people are accustomed to taking off their glasses with one hand on one side, although it is just a small habit in daily life. After all, it can be a bit troublesome to take off glasses with both hands from the front. But if you take off your glasses with one hand like a male god and show a handsome look, you may soon only have a pair of poor glasses! Removing glasses on one side can easily cause the screws on the other side of the lens to loosen and break over time. Especially if the action is rough, it is more likely to directly break the screws, or if the other lens foot becomes more open and bent, the lens foot is easily broken.
Bad habit 2: Wash glasses with soap, hand sanitizer, and shower gel
Usually when we go to a glasses store to clean our glasses, the staff will always tell us that using dishwashing detergent to clean our glasses is the most suitable. However, sometimes when we get dishwashing detergent outside, we will rinse it with hand sanitizer or soap, unaware that it is actually harmful to our glasses. Nowadays, most lenses are constructed with multiple layers of film, and if acidic or alkaline soap is used, it is easy to cause lens detachment and damage. In addition, soap containing soap alkali is prone to produce soap deposits, which are hidden deep in the grooves or crevices of the mirror frame. Ingredients such as shower gel and hand sanitizer can add grease, which not only fails to remove the oil deposits on the lenses, but also causes fogging after washing.

In addition to eyeglass specific detergents, the best cleaning agent is neutral dishwashing detergent, and it is recommended to clean at least once a day. This not only extends the lifespan of the lenses, but also allows you to maintain clear vision!
Bad habit three: taking a shower, soaking in water, and wearing glasses
Most eyeglass enthusiasts often wear their glasses in the bathroom when taking a shower, and also wash them together, or wear glasses while soaking in hot springs. As mentioned above, nowadays lenses use a multi-layer film structure. When the lens encounters hot steam or water, the film layer peels off, expands and deforms. At this time, the water vapor easily enters the film layer, causing the lens to peel off, and the lens cannot go back! So whether taking a shower or soaking in hot springs, try to avoid wearing glasses when entering, and do not expose glasses to the sun in the car, which increases the risk index.
Bad habit four: using glasses cloth to wipe glasses
We wear glasses outside for a long time, and small dust will adhere to the lenses. If we directly wipe the glasses with a cloth, the small dust will be rubbed away, which will naturally scratch the lenses. Of course, this does not mean that eyeglass cloths cannot wipe glasses, but rather that the particles and dust on them should be rinsed off before wiping.
