Caring for your glasses

At Torquay Eyecare, we are passionate about helping our patients care for their frames and lenses properly—not only to ensure the clearest vision but also to extend the life of their eyewear.

One of our key mottos is: "If they’re not on your face, they’re in their case." This simple habit protects your glasses from accidental damage, especially from curious little hands or playful pets.

Another tip we love to share is: "Wet before you wipe." Always spray your lenses and frames with a proper cleaning solution before wiping. Use a tissue to remove debris, then polish with a lens cloth. Avoid wiping dry lenses with a tissue or the corner of your shirt, as this can scratch the surface.

Finally, never leave your glasses or sunglasses in a hot car or near any heat source—excessive heat can warp frames and damage lens coatings.

Taking a few simple steps can make a big difference in maintaining your eyewear. If you have any questions about cleaning or care, our team is always happy to help!
