WHEN BUY 3 KITS
You might clean your glasses regularly, but how often do you actually tighten them? Like any personal item, glasses need routine care to stay in top shape. Loose screws, wobbly arms, and unbalanced frames can sneak up on you—and if ignored, lead to expensive repairs or even broken lenses.
If you want your glasses to last (and stay comfortable), follow this smart eyewear care schedule. You don’t need to be a professional optician—just a few minutes every month with the right tools can make a huge difference.
Weekly: Quick Checks & Cleaning
What to do:
-
Check for wobble or movement in arms and nose pads.
-
Clean lenses and frames using a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner.
-
Tighten loose screws with your SnapIt® screwdriver.
Why it matters: Catching early signs of loosening helps prevent bigger issues. Regular cleaning also reduces the buildup of oils that can affect screw tightness.
Monthly: Full Inspection
What to do:
-
Inspect every screw (arms and nose pads).
-
Check for bent or misaligned frames.
-
Test the snugness of the fit around your ears and nose.
Why it matters: Wear and tear happens slowly. A monthly check keeps small problems from becoming full-blown repairs.
Every 3 Months: Seasonal Adjustments
What to do:
-
Re-tighten all screws with a fresh SnapIt® screw if needed.
-
Gently reshape plastic or metal frames to fit properly (use warm water for plastic, or a hairdryer).
-
Swap nose pads if they’ve worn out.
Why it matters: Weather changes can alter how glasses fit. Sweat, heat, and even cold can make frames expand, shrink, or slip more easily.
Every 6 Months: Deep Clean + Replace Worn Parts
What to do:
-
Fully clean your glasses, including hinges and pads.
-
Replace rusty or stripped screws with SnapIt® screws.
-
Check whether arms are still springy and hinges firm.
Why it matters: Twice-a-year tune-ups are essential for high-use frames. This is also a good time to check if your prescription or lenses need updating.
Annually: Professional Check-In
What to do:
-
Visit your optician for a frame alignment and lens health check.
-
Ask them to check that all screws are tight and that the frames are not stressed.
Why it matters: Some things need a pro’s eye—like deep misalignments or hidden fractures. Once a year is enough if you’re following this regular schedule.
