Have you ever noticed how a small scratch on your sports eyewear can drastically reduce your visibility, impacting your performance? Or perhaps you’ve struggled with fogging during a crucial match? At Boise Mountain Eyecare, we understand these challenges and aim to help athletes keep their eyewear in pristine condition, ensuring both safety and optimal functionality.
As summer kicks off, it’s the perfect time to focus on the care and maintenance of your sports eyewear. Taking care of your eyewear helps you see better and makes them last longer. Let's dive into some maintenance practices that can help you protect your investment and continue to perform at your best.
Maintaining Sports Eyewear
Keeping your lenses clean is crucial for clear vision. Use a microfiber cloth and a suitable lens cleaner to remove dirt, sweat, and oils without scratching the lenses. Avoid using paper towels or clothing, which can be abrasive and leave scratches that impair vision.
Proper Storage Helps Them Last Longer
Store your sports eyewear in a hard, protective case when not in use. This prevents accidental damage and helps maintain the shape of the eyewear. Avoid leaving your glasses in hot cars or direct sunlight, as extreme temperatures can warp frames and degrade lens quality.
Essential Moisture Management
After each use, especially in humid or wet conditions, make sure to air out your eyewear. This helps prevent moisture buildup that can lead to mold or lens fogging. For eyewear with padding, like goggles, ensure the padding is thoroughly dry to prevent the breakdown of the material.
Periodic Adjustments and Repairs
Regularly assess the fit of your eyewear to ensure it remains secure and comfortable. Adjustments may be necessary over time as frequent use can alter the fit. Visit Boise Mountain Eyecare, where our eyewear experts can make professional adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and protection.
Inspect your eyewear for signs of wear, such as loose screws or degraded nose pads. Replacing these components can extend the life of your eyewear and enhance comfort. Many brands offer replacement parts that are easy to install, or you can bring them to us for professional service.
Lens Upgrades
If your sports activities or vision requirements change, consider upgrading your lenses to match your current needs. Newer lens technologies can offer better UV protection, enhanced clarity, or added durability. Our experts at Boise Mountain Eyecare can help you select the best lens options based on your specific sports and environmental conditions.
