Sunglasses care
Please read the brief instructions on how to use and care for sunglasses. With proper use and regular maintenance, you can enjoy the benefits of sunglasses for longer and keep them looking like new.
Wearing and storing sunglasses:
- Put the glasses on and take them off with both hands holding the feet of the glasses. Do not wear sunglasses on the top of the head, forehead or in any other way than specified in these instructions. This will protect the sunglasses from frame deformation and other damage.
- Periodically check that the sunglasses are in the correct shape and position. If you feel uncomfortable, contact your nearest “Optikos pasaulis” showroom.
- Do not use sunglasses as protection (e.g. when welding, working with hazardous materials).
- Keep your sunglasses in a hard, sealed glasses case. This will not only protect your sunglasses from scratches, but also from accidental knocks and breakages.
Cleaning and maintenance of sunglasses:
- You can rinse your sunglasses under running water at room temperature to remove any dust and grit that may scratch the lenses. Use a clean microfibre cloth to dry them. If you are unable to clean the accumulated dirt, please contact your nearest “Optikos pasaulis” salon where sunglasses can be cleaned in an ultrasonic bath.
- Clean your glasses only with products specifically designed for cleaning glasses (eyeglass wipes, eyeglass cleaners). Do not clean your sunglasses with a dirty wipe or with paper towels, clothes, etc., as these fabrics can scratch the lenses.
- For sunglasses with mirror lens coatings, clean only with a dry cloth. Do not use an eyewear cleaner.
- If your glasses have clips, remove the clips before cleaning the glasses.
Important!
- Avoid contact with salty seawater. Salty seawater can damage the lenses or frames of glasses.
- Avoid direct contact with chemicals that can damage the surface of the glasses (e.g. hairspray, liquids containing solvents or alcohol, etc.).
- Do not leave your sunglasses in places where hot air is concentrated (e.g. in the sauna, in the car, by the fireplace, in the oven, with the hairdryer on, etc.). Sudden temperature fluctuations can cause damage to the lenses or frame of the sunglasses (deformation, discolouration, chipping/cracking of the lens coating).
- Sunglasses are not designed to look directly into the sun or directly into an artificial UV source (e.g. in a solarium), nor are sunglasses designed for use at dusk or in the dark.

Frequently asked questions
Kaip tinkamai valyti saulės akinius?
Saulės akinius geriausia praskalauti po tekančiu kambario temperatūros vandeniu ir nuvalyti su specialia mikropluošto servetėle. Galite naudoti ir specialų valymo skystį, skirtą akiniams. Venkite naudoti popierinius rankšluosčius ar drabužių audinius, nes jie gali subraižyti lęšius ar patį akinių rėmelį.
Kaip apsaugoti saulės akinius nuo subraižymų?
Norint išvengti subraižymų, kai nenešiojate saulės akinių visuomet laikykite juos kietame dėkle. Niekada nedėkite akinių ant kieto paviršiaus tiesiai ant akinių lęšių ir venkite kontakto su kietais paviršiais.
Ar galima akinius nuo saulės nešioti ant viršugalvio?
Nors tai gali būti patogu, geriau vengti dėtis saulės akinius ant viršugalvio, nes toks nešiojimo būdas gali deformuoti rėmelį ar pažeisti lęšius. Be to riebalai, purvas ar pvz., plaukų lakas gali užteršti akinių lęšius ir sumažinti matomumą.
Ar jūros vanduo gali sugadinti saulės akinius?
Taip, sūrus jūros vanduo gali pažeisti saulės akinių lęšius ir rėmelius. Jeigu buvo kontaktas su druskingu jūros vandeniu, rekomenduojama kruopščiai nuplauti akinius su gėlu vandeniu ir nusausinti juos su specialia mikropluošto servetėle.
