TIPS

Schedule Regular Eye Exams

Ensure regular check-ups with an eye specialist to keep track of your vision health and to adjust your prescription if needed.

Practice the 20-20-20 Rule

Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds to reduce digital eye strain.

Wear Sunglasses with UV Protection

Always protect your eyes from harmful UV rays with sunglasses that block 100% of UV light.

Use Anti-Glare Coatings

Invest in lenses with anti-glare coatings to reduce strain from screens, night driving, and harsh lighting.

Maintain Proper Lighting

Whether reading or working, ensure proper lighting to avoid putting unnecessary strain on your eyes.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking plenty of water helps prevent dry eyes, especially if you spend long hours in front of screens.

Choose Frames to Match Your Face Shape

For round faces, opt for square or rectangular frames to add definition. Oval or heart-shaped faces pair well with cat-eye or aviator styles.

Match Frames with Your Skin Tone

Warm skin tones look great with gold, tortoiseshell, and warm-colored frames. Cooler tones can rock silver, black, or blue frames.

Consider Your Lifestyle

If you're sporty, opt for durable, lightweight frames. For a professional look, go for sleek, classic designs in neutral tones.

Eyewear as an Accessory

Treat your glasses like an accessory! Have multiple pairs for different occasions—professional, casual, or fun styles.

Balance Frame Size with Your Proportions

Larger frames look better on bigger faces, while smaller frames suit those with more petite features.

Pick Frames that Complement Your Wardrobe

If you love bold outfits, go for subtle, classic frames. If you wear neutral or minimalist clothing, bold frame colors or patterns can make a statement.

Clean Your Glasses Regularly

Use a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner to clean your lenses and frames daily. Avoid using paper towels or clothing, as they can scratch the lenses.

Store Glasses in a Case

Always store your eyewear in a protective case when not in use to prevent accidental scratches or damage.

Avoid Extreme Temperatures

Don’t leave your glasses in very hot or cold environments, like a car dashboard, as this can damage the frames and lenses.

Handle Glasses with Care

Always use both hands to put on and remove your glasses. This prevents the frames from bending or getting misaligned.

Check for Loose Screws

Periodically check your frames for loose screws and tighten them if necessary. If they are too loose, visit your optician for adjustments.

Avoid Placing Glasses Lens-Down

Always place your glasses face-up to avoid scratching the lenses on rough surfaces.

Use Lens-Specific Cleaners

Avoid using household cleaners like soap, vinegar, or ammonia on your lenses. Always use cleaning products designed for eyewear lenses.

Anti-Fog Solutions

If you wear masks or live in humid conditions, invest in anti-fog wipes or sprays to keep your lenses clear.

Blue Light Blocking Lenses

If you spend long hours on digital screens, consider lenses with blue light filters to reduce eye strain and improve sleep patterns.

Consider Lens Material

Polycarbonate lenses are great for those who need durable, impact-resistant options, while high-index lenses are perfect for stronger prescriptions without the bulk.

Progressive vs. Bifocal Lenses

Progressive lenses offer a seamless transition between near and far vision, unlike bifocals that have a distinct line between prescriptions.
