Debris, dirt, and oil can accumulate on the lenses and frame of your eye glasses. This isn't just unpleasant to look at. It also makes it a prime environment for bacteria to grow, exposing sensitive areas, like your nose and eyes, to germs.
To protect yourself from this risk, regularly clean your eyeglasses to wash away and rub off the grime and dirt. Here's what the experts say you should do:
- On hot summer days when you're out and about, sweat and oil are more likely to clog up the frames and lenses. Furthermore, sun protection, chemicals in pool water, and salt water that settle on the lens of your glasses can damage it over time. So when you get home, see to it that you rinse your glasses under cool water (not for anti-fog lenses).
- Nose pads are also a common area where bacteria can grow. They also turn yellow over time, so replace them regularly. Most nose pads are the same so you can easily buy them from your optician.
- You can also get an ultrasonic cleaning device to give your glasses a deep clean. This device is readily available in many optical centers.
- Lastly, regularly wash the cloth that you use for cleaning the glasses. This washes away the grime, dirt, and oil that builds in it over time.
Any issue or concern you may have with your eyes or eyesight should be brought to the attention of your Eye Center Lake Stevens, WA.
