How to Keep Your Glasses Looking New

Your glasses work hard every day — and over time, dust, oils, and tiny scratches can make them look tired and worn. But with the right care, you can keep your lenses clear, your frames spotless, and your glasses feeling like new for years.

At Cali Optics, every order includes our Free Tune-Up service — adjustments, fresh nose pads, hinge oil, and deep cleaning, including the hard-to-reach inside groove where dirt and debris often build up. This is especially important for crystal or semi-translucent frames, where trapped grime can show through and dull the look of your eyewear.

How to Clean Glasses Lenses the Right Way

1. Rinse Before Wiping
Always rinse your lenses with lukewarm water first. Wiping dry lenses can grind dust into the surface, creating micro-scratches.

2. Use a Lens-Safe Cleaner
Apply a gentle, alcohol-free lens cleaner (or mild dish soap diluted with water) to remove oils and smudges. Avoid window cleaners or harsh chemicals — they can damage lens coatings.

3. Microfiber Is Your Friend
Dry your lenses with a clean microfiber cloth. Paper towels, tissues, or clothing fibers can scratch or smear the surface.

4. Don’t Forget the Frames
Wipe down temples, nose pads, and hinges regularly. Skin oils and makeup residue can cause discoloration over time.

Why Our Free Tune-Up Service Matters

Every pair we work on gets a complete refresh:

• Deep cleaning – Inside grooves, hinges, and nose pads

• Frame adjustments – For a comfortable, secure fit

• Fresh nose pads – Replaced if worn or discolored

• Hinge lubrication – Smooth opening and closing

We handle the fine details so your glasses not only look like new, they feel like new too.

Bottom line: With a little regular care and the occasional professional tune-up, your glasses can stay sharp, clear, and comfortable for years. And at Cali Optics, that professional touch is always free with your lens order.
