Your glasses are essential for crisp, comfortable vision every day. Quality lenses and frames are designed to last, but without the right care, even the best eyewear can wear down faster than expected. At Vision Source Grove Heights, we want you to enjoy the full value of your glasses by protecting them from damage, knowing when it’s time for an upgrade, and keeping your vision sharp with regular eye exams.
 

Tips for Taking Care of Your Lenses & Frames

• Clean Properly: Always use a microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution designed for eyewear. Avoid tissues, paper towels, or clothing, which can scratch your lenses.

• Store Safely: Keep your glasses in a protective case when not in use. Leaving them on counters, in cars, or loose in bags increases the risk of scratches, bending, or breakage.

• Handle with Care: Take your glasses off with both hands to avoid loosening or warping the frames. Never rest them lens-down on surfaces.

• Schedule Professional Adjustments: Over time, frames can become loose or misaligned. Regular adjustments at our office can help maintain proper fit and comfort.
 

How Often Should You Replace Glasses?

Even with proper care, glasses don’t last forever. Here are some signs it might be time for a new pair:

• Scratched or Worn Lenses: Scratches reduce clarity and can strain your eyes.

• Loose or Broken Frames: Constant slipping or visible damage makes them uncomfortable and less effective.

• Vision Changes: If you notice headaches, squinting, or difficulty focusing, your prescription may no longer be accurate.

• Outdated Lens Technology: Modern lenses offer improved coatings, blue light protection, and thinner materials that may benefit your lifestyle.
 

The Importance of Annual Eye Exams

Even if your glasses still feel fine, annual eye exams are essential. Your vision and eye health can change without obvious symptoms. At Vision Source Grove Heights, we’ll check your prescription, evaluate eye health, and ensure your glasses are giving you the best possible vision and comfort.
