How to Maintain Your Sunglasses Lens

Getting a pair of sunglasses that you like is a rare thing, and you will not want them to be damaged. If you take good care of your sunglasses, they can last 10 years or more. As with any quality product, proper care will enhance and extend the usefulness of your sunglasses and protect your investment.

Use these five tips to extend the life of your favorite sunglasses:

1. Handle with care

To maintain the shape of your sunglasses, use both hands to put on and take off your glasses instead of pulling them off holding only one stem. Always keep your sunglasses in their case or sunglasses pouch when not wearing them. But if you don't have them, we will send you a free sunglass pouch once you buy a pair of PapaViva replacement lenses.

2. Clean your sunglasses properly

Make sure to clean your sunglasses with a microfiber cloth and a mild lens cleaning solution. Do not use clothes or paper towels to clean the lenses as this can cause tiny scratches and transfer more dirt to the lenses. Don't forget to clean the sides of the frames and nosepiece. That will stop them from slipping off your face and keep them sanitary.

3. Avoid chemical contact

Your sunglasses are very fragile. Some lenses come with a film that provides UV protection, scratch resistance, or shatter resistance. These films are the most fragile part of your eyewear and can be easily damaged by certain abrasive chemicals. So be sure to stay away from your sunglasses when using bath rates, sunscreen, and other chemicals.

4. Keep away from excessive heat

You should avoid leaving your sunglasses in a hot car or direct sunlight. The windshield of a car can generate excessive heat, which can cause the plastic frames of sunglasses to distort. And the heat also causes the lenses to break and delaminate.

5. Regular check

Check frame and lens condition regularly. If you find that the frame screws are loose, or the lens has any scratches, you can get screwdrivers and high-quality replacement lenses to fix your sunglasses from PapaViva. PapaViva will work hard to keep your sunglasses in top condition.

Just follow the tips above and you can extend the life of your favorite sunglasses. But if your sunglasses were damaged, don't throw them away yet. A pair of designer sunglasses can run up to a few hundred dollars, and we want to get the most out of it for you.
