1. Clean Them Regularly<\/h2>\n

One sure fire way to damage your glasses is to allow dirt, grime and dust to build up over time.<\/p>\n

To prevent this, ensure you clean them regularly\u00a0(at least every two weeks).<\/p>\n

You can use a special glasses cleaner to get them sparkling, but a dishwashing liquid will work just as well.<\/p>\n

Use lukewarm water and just a little dishwashing liquid, and either using a gentle soft cloth or your fingers, gently rub each lens.<\/p>\n

Then concentrate on cleaning the frame, focusing particularly on the area around the nose and ears.<\/p>\n

Leave to dry by drying naturally or with a soft cloth.<\/p>\n

If you love the model’s specs above, then take a look at\u00a0Oliver Goldsmith OLI020 – JANET.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We love the faded peach colour\u00a0of these frames, as well as the feminine cat-eye shape!<\/p>\n

2. Don’t Place Them on Your Head<\/h2>\n

Although it can be really tempting to rest your glasses on your head when you’re not using them or want to push your hair back, this is a bad idea.<\/p>\n

Over time, doing this will bend and misshape the temples, meaning they no longer fit your head.<\/p>\n

You will end up needing to buy a new pair within six months if you do it regularly – so don’t!<\/p>\n

If you love Lily’s sunglasses above then go for the\u00a0Oliver Peoples OV5349S REMICK.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

These gorgeous retro\u00a0style sunnies feature a round frame shape and an oversized top bar for a cool and stylish look.<\/p>\n

Get a Case &\u00a0Use It<\/h2>\n

https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BZL8TdlgPjA\/?tagged=glassescase<\/p>\n

This sounds obvious but you would be surprised how many people don’t do this.<\/p>\n

Buy a case or use the one the glasses came with!<\/p>\n

Whenever those specs aren’t on your face, they should be tucked away safely in their case.<\/p>\n

This is especially important when traveling or putting them in your handbag\/rucksack.<\/p>\n

Whilst we’re on the topic, also never put your glasses face down on a table.<\/p>\n

If you are just taking them off momentarily, then make sure you place them so the lenses are facing upwards.<\/p>\n

This will help prevent scratches.<\/p>\n

Get the glasses above with the\u00a0Infinity 2425.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

These simple black rectangular framed specs would be a great go-to pair to wear in the office.<\/p>\n

Don’t Take Them Off With One Hand<\/h2>\n

https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BZPBp7SHaJU\/?tagged=glasses<\/p>\n

This is a really simple change to make and will extend the life of your eyewear considerably.<\/p>\n

Don’t take your specs off with one hand – use both hands and hold the sides of the glasses to pull them off.<\/p>\n

This will prevent the hinges from loosening and the temples from bending.<\/p>\n

Get the model’s sunglasses above with the\u00a0MICHAEL KORS 0MK2040 DIVYA.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We like the cat-eye shape and tortoiseshell colouring on this pair.<\/p>\n
