Follow these simple steps to make sure you can enjoy your eyeglasses everyday and have them last until your next pair.
How to Maintain your Eyewear
1. Use both hands when putting on and taking off your eyewear. Using both hands ensures you’re not accidentally stretching the frame and causing misalignment. This will help keep the frame straight and balanced during wear.
2. Don’t leave your eyeglasses in hot car or any harsh weather environments (very hot or very cold). Since most eyewear and lenses are made from plastic, the plastic material can easily change if exposed to different temperatures. Heat or cold can also affect the lens coating. KODAK Lenses are made at the highest standard, but any lens can be affected if exposed to a certain conditions. We warranty all lenses (please see store policy), but we recommend to keep your eyewear in room temperature conditions to maintain the integrity of your eyeglasses.
3. Clean your lenses with a microfiber cleaning cloth and lens cleaner. We recommend using special lens cleaner specifically made for cleaning eyeglass lenses because it contains a properly formulated solution to keep your lenses clean and safe. Lens cleaner and microfiber cleaning cloths can be purchased at all of our KODAK Lens stores. Using solutions like Windex contain different chemicals, which can affect or damage lens coatings. We also do not recommend using tap water because it may contain undesirable contaminants, it is treated with chemicals and can be exposed to bacteria and microbes within pipes.
How to clean your eyeglasses?
- Spray the lenses with lens cleaner
- Wipe and remove lens cleaner with soft white paper towel (i.e. Bounty, SpongeTowels, Viva, Royale, Charmin etc.)
- Remove excess dirt and smudges with microfiber cleaning cloth
- Make sure lenses are clean
- Now you can wear your clean eyeglasses!
4. Check for loose screws. Overtime, your eyeglasses will go through wear and tear. Screws may loosen when you constantly take on and off your eyeglasses. Make sure all your eyeglass parts are working properly and screws look like they are in the correct place. If you notice something off, please visit us and we can properly maintain your eyeglasses for you.
5. Protect your eyeglasses in a case. All our eyewear come with a case or can be easily purchased from us if you misplaced it. Keeping it safe in a case ensures that the eyeglasses do not get damaged. You never know when you might knock it over or accidentally drop or sit on it. Better to be safe and keep it in a case.
6. Visit us for adjustments. We recommend to come in for adjustments every 3 or 6 months or whenever you need an adjustment to ensure your eyeglasses are properly fitted, well maintained and clean for a comfortable and great wearing experience. All our KODAK Lens stores can assist you to provide a customized fit, do repairs (limited, please see in store for more details), and provide a personal experience to ensure you keep seeing the colours of life.
