How to store your sunglasses to avoid scratches

Proper storage of sunglasses
Protecting your sunglasses from scratches and damage is essential to maintain both their appearance and functionality. Choose a hard-shell case that both protects against impacts and reduces the risk of scratches. Make sure the inside of the case is soft – preferably microfiber – to protect the lenses and frames. The case should have a zipper or magnetic closure to ensure that the glasses don’t fall out.
Transport and environment
When placing sunglasses in a bag, they should lie flat and separate from other hard objects. Avoid leaving them lying around in the car, as large temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight can have a negative effect on both lenses and frames. A dry, cool and stable storage location is preferable.
Daily cleaning
Clean sunglasses regularly with a soft cloth designed for the purpose. Avoid materials such as paper or clothing as they can permanently scratch the lenses.
