Mistakes to avoid with sunglasses
Because a good pair of glasses is more than an accessory: it's an everyday companion. Find out how to extend their life and preserve your eyes.
It's 8 a.m., the sun filters through the shutters. You grab your coffee, open your computer or phone, and get ready to dive into your day. Before heading out the door, one last thing: slide your sunglasses onto your nose. Simple, innocuous? Not so much.
At KDEAM , we know that a quality pair of glasses can transform your comfort, your style, and your protection. But you still need to take care of them. Today, we're revealing the most common mistakes we see our customers make —and, more importantly, how to avoid them so your glasses last a long time.
1. Clean them… anyhow
We've all done it. A quick rub with a t-shirt, a corner of a napkin, or even a tissue. Yet, these simple gestures are your lenses' worst enemies . Abrasive fibers, trapped dust, and micro-particles scratch the surface. The result? Less and less clear vision, and lenses that age prematurely.
Our tip: always use a clean microfiber cloth and a suitable cleaning spray. Our models include this essential accessory .
KDEAM tip: Also avoid hot water or dishwashing detergent: these cleaners attack the anti-reflective and polarizing coating.
2. Place them face down on the table
You're sitting on a terrace, your glasses next to your drink. Without thinking, you put them down... glasses down. This simple action, however, is responsible for micro-scratches that are invisible to the naked eye but accumulate over time. Every surface (even a clean one) contains abrasive dust.
Good habit: always place your glasses on the arms, never on the lenses . Better still: in their case.
3. Leave them in the car
Feel like your glove compartment is the perfect place? Wrong. Extreme heat inside the car (especially in summer) can warp frames, blister anti-reflective coatings, and weaken lenses . While it's tempting, take them with you or use an insulated case.
4. Lend them “just for a minute”
It's your brother, your friend, your partner... They ask for your glasses, "just to try them on." But every face has its own shape , and too much space or pressure can throw the frame off-center. The result? They slip, don't fit properly, or are uncomfortable for you afterward.
“Taking care of your glasses is like taking care of your eyes: a small gesture today, great comfort tomorrow.”
5. Neglecting them in sports activities
A game of beach volleyball? An impromptu trail run? Without the right glasses, you risk falling, getting scratched, or even breaking them. Our models, like the Vortex , are designed for movement and impact, with an unbreakable TR90 frame.
Remember: every use has its own frame. Protect your classic glasses and opt for a sports model for dynamic activities.
