Caring for your glasses
Prevent your glasses from becoming loose by always using two hands to put them on and take them off. If your glasses need any adjustment, our optical assistant will be happy to do this for you.
Clean your glasses every day using cool water and liquid hand wash. Rinse with clean water and then dry with a soft towel or lens cleaning cloth. For cleaning on-the-go, use special lens cleaning sprays or micro fibre cloths.
Protect your glasses against knocks and bumps by storing them in a hard case when you are not wearing them. If you are highly dependent on your glasses, consider investing in a spare pair as a safeguard.
Remember, we offer a two-year guarantee against any manufacturing defects.
Caring for contact lenses
The most important thing to remember when caring for contact lenses is hygiene, hygiene, hygiene!
Before handling your lenses, always wash your hands thoroughly, preferably with an anti-bacterial handwash, and dry them on a lint-free cloth. Handling your lenses means that any dirt on your hands will come into contact with your eyes, so it’s important to keep them scrupulously clean.
Use only the recommended solutions with your lenses and never rinse them under the tap. Daily disposable lenses are intended for single use and must be thrown away afterwards.
Never wear any lenses overnight, other than extended wear lenses that are specifically designed for this.
If you experience any unusual discomfort, or signs of an eye infection, stop wearing your lenses and contact your optometrist.
