Caring For Metal Frame Sunglasses - 2013-06-26 23:35:31

Sunglasses come in two major varieties, plastic and metal frames. Of the two, metal frames have a tendency to be very stylish and durable, but they can also be fairly difficult to take care of. If you choose metal framed sunglasses, there are a few things that you should be aware of before you take them out for active use.

First of all, be aware that your metal frame sunglasses may or may not be waterproof. Luckily, you can continue to wear them on the beach as long as you are not planning to submerge them in water. Once you exit the water, be aware that the sea spray can still be on many parts of your sunglasses even if you are not aware of it.

Any time your metal frame glasses have been in contact with water, it is a good idea to wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth. This is especially important in the case of sea water since it is much more corrosive and can even affect some glasses that are coated to be waterproof.

Your metal frame sunglasses are fairly durable, but they can succumb to warping just like other types of eyewear. When glasses because “warped,” the different components are a little bit off from their usual alignment. This can cause you to look as if your glasses are uneven on your face. In order to avoid warping, always pick up your glasses with two hands rather than one.

Like any sunglasses, you will want to keep your lenses free of scratches. For some types of lenses, you can use glass etching cream to remove most scratches. This can be effective on virtually any kind of lens and is less expensive than many of the specialized products that you might see for the same purpose. Applying metal polish can also help with scratches elsewhere on your frames.
