How to properly put glasses in a case?

Glasses are not only a fashion accessory, but also a means of vision correction and sometimes protection from ultraviolet rays. If you care for them correctly, you can significantly extend their service life. Organizing proper storage is one of the key points of care.

Are there any rules for storing glasses in a case?

It is preferable to put your glasses in a special case that will protect them from scratches. Before storing your glasses, make sure they are clean. Old stains are much more difficult to clean. Avoid storing them in the bathroom or kitchen, and do not place them near heating appliances or in direct sunlight.

Windows up or down?

Owners of this accessory are divided into 2 camps, which argue among themselves about how to properly store glasses in a case: with the lenses down or up.

Important! It is strictly forbidden to place the accessory with lenses on any surface.

Those who support the “lenses down” theory claim that when opening the case, they can be taken without staining the lenses, that is, by the temples.But, despite the soft surface, it is still recommended to store fragile optics with the glass facing up.

What are the consequences of breaking the rules?

Violation of the basic canons of storing glasses can lead to significant damage to them:

• to breakage or scratches on the lenses;
• Water may get on them. Excessive moisture can cause corrosion on the metal frame, and various detergents may contain aggressive components that, if contacted, will spoil, at best, the appearance.
• proximity to heating devices and exposure to direct sunlight can negatively affect plastic. The arms may melt, disrupting alignment. Lenses, if they are made of plastic, can also lose center accuracy.
