Caring for lenses FAQ's

Why is caring for your eyeglasses so important?

High quality eyeglass lenses are an investment. A financial investment not only in better vision, but also in a better attitude to life and your own safety.
Incorrect eyeglass cleaning can cause microscopic scratches - which are initially invisible - on your lenses. Gradually, the lens wears down, the potential of even the best lenses are diminished, and vision is ultimately impaired.
Scratches cannot be removed from modern eyeglass lenses. The lenses have to be replaced.

Protect your investment. Protect your vision.
