Storage and Handling Tips for Progressive Glasses

Progressive lenses are precision-crafted, and proper handling helps maintain their alignment and performance. Small habits make a big difference in preventing scratches, warping, or coating damage.

Storage Guidelines

• Always use a hard case.
  Store your glasses in a rigid case lined with soft material. Pouches alone do not offer enough protection.
• Never place lenses face-down.
  Always rest glasses with the lenses facing upward to avoid pressure and scratches.
• Avoid extreme heat.
  Leaving glasses on a car dashboard can expose them to temperatures over 60°C (140°F), which can warp frames and damage coatings.

Handling Habits

• Use both hands to put on or remove glasses.
  This prevents accidental bending or misalignment of the frame.
• Hold at the bridge when cleaning.
  Holding by the temples can twist the frame over time.
• Skip the “headband” habit.
  Wearing glasses on your head stretches the temples and changes the fit.
