  Taking care of your spectacles  
  1.   Wash them daily in warm water. Wash or blow off dust or grit.

Never use paper products to wipe as they may scratch the lenses. Dry them with a soft cotton or cleaning cloth.
 
  2.   When you put your spectacles down, make sure the lenses do not touch anything. This will help keep them scratch-free and bright.

Keep them in their protective cases.
 
  3.   Always put on or take off your glasses with both hands. This will help them keep their adjustment longer.
