How should I clean my glasses?

Wash your hands first, then rinse the glasses under lukewarm water to wash off dust that could scratch. Rub gently with a little mild soap, rinse, and dry with a microfibre cloth. Our guide on keeping your glasses clean has more tips.

Can I wipe my glasses with my shirt or a tissue?

No. Shirts, tissues and paper towels can leave fine marks and even strip the lens coating, and over time that leaves a haze. Use a glasses cloth or lens wipes, and never harsh cleaners or saliva.

Can I buff out a scratch on my lens?

No. Rubbing a scratch only makes it worse and can leave the lens cloudy. Once a lens is scratched, the scratch stays, so for clear vision we replace the lens.

How do I stop my glasses fogging up?

ZEISS anti-fog spray, anti-fog lens wipes or the complete ZEISS anti-fog kit stop fog forming on your lenses. There are also anti-fog lens coatings, including ones made with face masks in mind.

How do I stop my glasses slipping during sport?

Sports cords, temple grips and nose pads all help glasses stay on your face. If you play contact sport, prescription sports glasses or goggles are the safer choice.

What are low vision aids?

Devices and tools that make print, signs, objects or faces easier to see, so you make the most of the sight you have. Magnifiers are the most common. Our guide to low vision aids and technology covers the main types, and an eye test helps us find what suits you.

How should I store my contact lenses?

In a contact lens case with the solution we recommend, never in water. Clean the case often and replace it about every three months. Our contact lens care guide has the full routine.

01 Why eye care matters
They say that the eyes are the windows to our soul. But did you know that a large part of the brain is mainly focused on vision? In fact, it takes a more significant portion than hearing, smell, taste, and touch combined. Despite its importance, many people take their eyesight for granted. Eyecare is essential, no matter the age, because vision problems can occur at any time.
02 What can go wrong
Various forms of vision impairment mostly involve refraction errors, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Thankfully, there are a vast number of eyewear choices that can help manage and correct refractive disorders, such as prescription glasses and contact lenses.
- Nearsightedness
- Farsightedness
- Astigmatism
03 What helps
And to make eye care easier and more convenient, eyewear accessories can be used. These accessories range from cleaning wipes and cloths to cords, eyedrops, temple grips, and many more!

How they help

How Accessories Can Enhance Your Eyewear Performance

Fog, static, and streaking are just some of the things a spectacle wearer combats on a daily basis. This is even more true with mask wear. Do you know that there are new anti-fog kits and lens coatings adapted to mask wearing? If you wear prescription eyeglasses and play sports, you want to make sure your eyeglasses do not fall off your face. Not only will you have difficulty seeing, but it can also lead to eyewear damage. These situations and so many others call for eyewear accessories.

For example, temple tips are every young eyeglass wearer's good friend. They're more than just tips because they can have a massive impact on the comfort the spectacles provide, and ensuring they don't become a hazard during sporting activities.

Apart from being practical and functional, adding accessories to your eyeglasses and sunglasses can be fun. You get to pick the right eyewear accessories, and some even lift the look of your spectacles. They make eyeglasses more effective, especially in young people, since they encourage frequent and proper use.

Anti-fog

ZEISS anti-fog kit

Foggy eyeglasses are a result of the incompatibility of your breath and the environment. They are a mere distraction and can be mildly frustrating in many cases. However, this fogginess can escalate into a hazard. Since your vision can become clouded, fogginess is not an option.

Here is an excellent solution. Get the fog off your glasses with the Zeiss anti-fog kit. It's one of the must-have safety eyewear accessories for every spectacle wearer. Whether you wear eyeglasses while playing recreational sports or for your occupation, you can use an anti-fog product from ZEISS. Choices include anti-fog spray, lens wipes, and a complete kit that comes with a spray and cloth.
