Your reading glasses are an everyday essential, helping you see clearly while adding a touch of style to your look. But to keep them in top condition, a little TLC is required. Whether you’ve invested in a classic pair of reading glasses or one of London Mole’s bold statement designs, here are some easy ways to ensure your reading glasses stay pristine for longer…

Smudges, dust and fingerprints are inevitable, but a simple cleaning routine can keep your lenses crystal clear. Always use a microfibre cleaning cloth to wipe your lenses: London Mole’s cleaning cloths are perfect for the job. Avoid using tissues or clothing, as these can scratch the lenses. For a deeper clean, use lukewarm water with a small drop of mild soap, then dry with a microfibre cloth.

When you’re not wearing your reading glasses, avoid leaving them lying around where they can get scratched or damaged. London Mole’s stylish spring-opening pouches provide the perfect protection. Made from soft textured PU with eye catching designs, these pouches keep your reading glasses safe from dust, scratches, and accidental knocks. Simply squeeze the top to open and let go to secure them inside: effortless and effective.

It’s tempting to take your reading glasses off with one hand, but this can misalign the frames over time. Instead, use both hands to remove them, holding the arms near the hinges. This helps maintain their shape and fit, ensuring they sit comfortably on your face for years to come.

Exposing your reading glasses to high heat can warp the frames and damage any coatings on the lenses. Never leave them in a hot car or near radiators. Similarly, extremely cold temperatures can make frames brittle, increasing the risk of breakage. Storing them in a London Mole glasses pouch helps regulate temperature exposure and keeps them in great condition.

Over time, the fit of your reading glasses may change, making them less comfortable or slightly crooked. If you notice your reading glasses slipping down or sitting unevenly, take them to an optician for a quick adjustment. Many opticians offer this service for free and can realign your frames to ensure a perfect fit.

Your reading glasses are an extension of your personality. Whether you prefer a classic black or tortoiseshell frame, or a bold, colourful design, taking care of them will keep you looking sharp. With London Mole’s range of protective pouches and high quality cleaning cloths, caring for your reading glasses has never been easier.

Invest a little time in their upkeep, and your London Mole reading glasses will reward you with clear vision and impeccable style for a long time to come.
