How to store your sunglasses to avoid scratches

Proper storage of sunglasses

Proper storage protects sunglasses from scratches and extends their lifespan. Use a specially designed case – either with a soft interior lining or a hard exterior – to prevent your sunglasses from touching surfaces that could damage them.

When not in use, sunglasses should always be stored in their case in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. UV rays and high heat can weaken the materials, so a cool environment is preferable.

Clean your sunglasses with a lint-free microfiber cloth to avoid scratches. Avoid paper towels or regular cloths as they may contain particles that can scratch the lens.

It is also important to check the frame assembly regularly. Loose screws or uneven pressure can put unnecessary strain on the lens. If there are any problems, you should have your sunglasses serviced by a professional.
