When you take care of your vision, you’re making an investment in yourself. Eyeglasses are important devices for many who experience difficulty seeing, and it’s important to maintain them, so you can reap their full benefits. Below, Digby Eye Associates in Greensboro and High Point, NC, shares their advice on how to care for your eyeglasses, so you can ensure they stay in top condition.

3 Ways to Care for Your Eyeglasses

1. Always Use a Case

No matter which material your eyeglasses are made from, they will fare better if they’re kept in a case. Placing your glasses on your head or setting them on a counter when you’re not using them may result in losing or damaging them. Keep your case with you at all times, so you can easily slip off your glasses and place them in their protective shell.

2. Get Regular Adjustments

3. Attend Eye Exams Yearly

Your eyeglasses won’t help you see if the prescription isn’t up-to-date. Always schedule yearly eye exams to ensure your current glasses provide you with the best vision. Bring your glasses so the optometrist or ophthalmologist can assess whether they are appropriate or if you should change your lens strength. 

Caring for your glasses will ensure they remain unbroken and help you get the vision you need. To set up an annual eye appointment with Digby Eye Associates, call (336) 230-1010.
