Care for Reading Glasses: Cleaning, Storage, Tips

Hey there! 👓✨ So you’ve got your fabulous new reading glasses online from Ministry of Sight, and now it’s time to keep them looking sharp and fresh. Let’s dive into some easy-peasy tips to keep your eyewear in tip-top shape.

Get a Case, Seriously!

First things first: keep your reading glasses in a good case! Keeping your glasses in a case when you’re not wearing them is a game changer. It protects them from scratches, dust, and the occasional drop (we’ve all been there). Go for something stylish—after all, your glasses deserve a cute home too! Lucky your new Ministry of Sight reading glasses come with a free slimline glasses case with each purchase!

Wipe with Love

When it comes to cleaning, skip the random t-shirts or napkins. They might scratch those lenses! Use a microfiber cloth instead. Just a quick wipe of your reading glasses will do wonders. If they’re really smudged, you can use a little lens cleaner or warm soapy water. Just make sure to rinse and dry with the cloth afterward. Voila—sparkly lenses! again, lucky your new Ministry of Sight, readers come with a great little microfibre cloth to keep handy.

Avoid the Heat

Listen up! Keep your reading glasses away from heat sources. Leaving them in a hot car or near the oven can warp the frames or damage the lenses. So, if you’re cooking up a storm, make sure your specs are safe elsewhere!

Hands Off the Lenses

When you take off your reading glasses, try not to touch the lenses with your fingers. Fingerprints can be a real bummer! Use the frames to take them off, or just grab your free ministry of sight microfiber cloth to wipe them down.

Stay Stylish, Stay Secure with a Reading Glasses Chain

If you’re prone to losing your reading glasses (guilty as charged), consider getting a cute glasses chain or strap for your reading glasses. They’re super trendy right now, and they’ll keep your specs close at hand while adding a fun accessory to your look. Win-win! Make sure you grab your awesome reading glasses chain from Ministry of Sight,, there's a style and colour for everyone!

Watch Out for Pets!

If you’ve got furry friends at home, be mindful! Cats and dogs can be curious about your reading glasses, and you don’t want them getting chewed up. Store them safely away from those playful paws!

Replace When Necessary

Finally, don’t be afraid to upgrade your reading glasses if they’re looking a bit worse for wear. Scratched lenses or bent frames can affect your vision and style. If it’s time for a new pair, embrace it!

So there you have it, fabulous folks! With just a little care, your awesome new reading glasses can stay looking fresh and stylish for ages. xx
