Sunglasses VS Prescription Glasses: What's the Difference

• Sunglasses: Be careful with mirrored or polarized treatments. Never use aggressive cleaners.
• Prescription glasses: Require more attention to the nose pads and hinges, which get dirty with sweat.

How to Store Them Correctly (at Home and Outside)

• Use a hard or semi-hard case.
• Never leave them with the lenses facing down.
• Don't place them on the dashboard or near heat sources.
• In your bag, use a padded case to protect them from impacts.

Seasonal Maintenance: Useful Tips All Year Round

• Summer: glasses exposed to sand, sweat, and salt → frequent cleaning.
• Autumn/Winter: watch out for humidity and condensation when coming indoors.
• Spring: allergens and dust in the air, better to clean nose pads and temples often.
