As well as looking after your eyes internally you must also look after the frames and lenses of the eye glasses too. This can be done by washing the lenses in a soapy solution or alcohol solution along with a microfiber cloth. It is imperative that the glasses are kept in either a hard eye glasses case or even better a soft fabric eye glasses case that is easily stored away in your pocket or bag. Some eye glasses cases are lined giving even better protection from scratching the lenses of the eye glasses as compared to the hard case.

All the above tips will hopefully help to maintain your clear vision.
