At Coachella Valley Optometry, we understand the importance of maintaining your eyeglasses and contact lenses for optimal vision health. Here are some tips to guarantee the longevity and effectiveness of your eyeglasses and contact lenses:

For Eyeglasses:

• Store Glasses Safely: Keep your glasses in a sturdy case when not in use to prevent damage.
• Use Recommended Lens Cleaner: Clean your glasses regularly using the lens cleaner provided by us or a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the lenses.
• Avoid Placing Glasses Lens Down: Always place your glasses with the lenses facing upward to avoid damage.
• Clean with Microfiber Cloth: Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe away smudges and debris from your glasses. Avoid using rough materials that may scratch the lenses.
• Protect from Extreme Heat: Keep your glasses away from extreme heat, as exposure can cause warping or damage to both the frames and lenses.
• Consult Optician for Fitting and Adjustments: Visit us regularly to ensure your glasses fit properly and are adjusted to your unique needs for maximum comfort and vision correction.

• Wash Hands Thoroughly: Always wash your hands with soap and water before handling your contact lenses.
• Follow Replacement Schedule: Adhere to the replacement schedule for your contact lenses to prevent discomfort and decrease the risk of eye infections.
• Use Recommended Solution: Only use the contact lens solution recommended by your optometrist to clean and store your lenses.
• Store Lenses Properly: Store your contact lenses in a clean case with fresh solution to keep them moist and free from debris when not in use.
