What you need

Glasses and manufacturer's guidance
Cool or lukewarm water
Mild cleaner if permitted
Clean microfiber cloth

How to

1. Check whether pads are screw-on, push-in or integrated, and whether the maker allows rinsing for this frame.
2. Wash your hands and rinse glasses with cool or lukewarm water to remove grit before wiping.
3. If allowed, gently clean the pads and temples with a tiny amount of mild, lotion-free cleaner and your fingertips.
4. Rinse completely and pat dry with a clean microfiber cloth. Avoid hot water, paper towels and household glass cleaners.
5. If pads remain cracked, discolored, sticky or missing, stop scrubbing and ask an optician about compatible replacements.
6. Test comfort and stability. Persistent pressure, slipping or crooked fit calls for professional adjustment.

One more tip

Avoid alcohol, acetone and window sprays on coated lenses. Follow special-frame instructions; don't twist cracked pads or loose screws.
