Those of us who wear glasses know the struggles of dirty lenses and stretched frames. While glasses are a necessity for many people, people struggle to get the most out of their glasses. However, these tricks will help you make the most of your glasses.
Get the Pair You Want
The first mistake you need to avoid is buying a pair you’re settling for. Glasses should last you a long time and have a big effect on your life and style. Get a frame and lenses you like. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck with something you don’t like for a long time.
Don’t Stretch Them
If you notice your glasses falling down your nose when they used to fit perfectly, that’s likely because they stretched out. Avoid overstretching your frames by picking them up by the bridge. Also, don’t put them on your head. This will help keep the frame tight and fitting for a long time.
Avoid Heat and Cold
Extreme temperatures can cause warping in metal and glass, which is why you should avoid it when possible. Even worse is going between the two extremes, as it can quickly alter your glasses in negative ways.
Do Glasses Maintenance
One of the best things you can do to get more out of your glasses is to maintain them. From regular washing to proper storage, there are many things you should do to protect your glasses. There are tricks to remove scratches from your glasses if you find them on your glasses. For example, you can mix baking soda with water to deal with them.
Stylize Them Based on You
One important trick to help improve your glasses is to stylize them to match you and what you want. Things like glow-in-the-dark tape or stickers can add a lot of personality to your glasses and your overall fashion. This is how you make your glasses best represent you.
These tips will help you keep your glasses in the best shape possible while making them yours. You’re going to be using these glasses for years to come, so they should be exactly what you want. Otherwise, you’ll just be stuck with something you don’t like for no reason.
