Taking care of your frames is JUST as important as taking care of your eyes when you wear contacts. When you get a pair of frames, chances are they were fairly priced, especially if you got them from an eyeglass frame manufacturer. Northless you still want to take care of them so that they last for years to come! First off, you NEVER want to clean the actual lens of glasses with anything, but a soft cloth. Never use paper towels because this will scratch the surface! Many optical suppliers sell ultra-fine, machine-washable microfiber cloths that trap dirt and dust.
Second off, you really want to make sure you buy a case or use the one the discount eyeglass frames gave you when you purchased your frames. These cases are supposed to be used for when you are not using your glasses. They will protect the actual lens from getting scratched, and for the most part can also protect your frame from getting broke! The frame, as I recently found out, are usually the MOST expensive factor when it comes to eye glasses, so this is NOT something you want to take lightly!
Lastly, be sure to always wear your glasses on your nose rather than on your head. It seems that the most accidents happen when people put their glasses on their heads. These can fall of very easily! Sometimes people even forget they are there and they will drop them on a really hard surface and they can crack. A major no-no!
