People are becoming more aware of the environment and looking for ways to live in a more sustainable way, whether it’s in what they wear, eat, or use. With the effects of climate change getting worse, there is a growing movement to stop using plastic altogether. This has made more people try to avoid using plastic as much as they can.
Even the cosmetics and fashion industries are getting caught up in the sustainability movement. As the need for organic, eco-friendly, and sustainably sourced materials grows, more of them are being used. So, people are slowly giving up their plastic sunglasses in favor of designer sunglasses made of wood. Sunglasses made of wood are getting more and more popular, and for a good reason. Not only are they made from eco-friendly and long-lasting materials, but they are so much better than regular plastic sunglasses in so many ways.
So, if you already have a pair of wooden frame sunglasses, you choose wisely. They don’t just last a long time, but they’re also in style. Here are some tips on how to keep your wooden sunglasses in good shape:
How to Take Care of wooden eyeglass frames: 7 Steps
Wooden sunglasses will get dirty over time, of course. You will have to take care of them well and not hurt them anymore. Since you own wooden shades, you know that they will last for a long time. This high-quality material is light and lasts a long time. So, they are more about style and lasting power. So, here are some ways to take care of your wooden sunglasses and keep them looking brand new:
Take off your glasses with both hands.
This might seem silly to you. But, believe it or not, it’s a big deal. Many people make the mistake of taking off their glasses with only one hand, which you may have seen. If you do this often, it can throw off the way your glasses fit.
Use both hands when putting on and taking off your glasses to make sure they stay in the right place and don’t get bent over time or when you wear them a lot.
Don’t put your sunglasses on your forehead or clothing.
You probably made a mistake by putting the sunglasses with the wooden arms inside your clothes. Or even put it on your forehead when you stopped to talk to someone. These are common things people do that actually have bad effects.
Even if it’s easy and tempting, this will make the arms weaker (or the temples). In turn, this will weaken the frame. Wooden sunglasses will loosen up and keep falling off if you keep putting them in your clothes, just like any other material. Also, if you keep them on your forehead, they will stretch and get too small. You are on notice!
Keep them in the right way
Make sure to always put your sunglasses back in their case when you take them off. If you don’t keep them in a safe case, you could lose or break them. Every pair of men’s wooden sunglasses comes with a hard case, so you don’t have to worry about keeping them safe.
Don’t put them anywhere.
As was already said, many people rest their glasses on top of their heads, in their hair, or on their shirts when they’re not wearing them. These habits can distort the shape of your sunglasses over time. Your glasses case is the best place to keep your sunglasses in perfect condition.
So, the best advice we can give you is not to put them anywhere. You never know what could happen to your personalized wooden sunglasses and cause them to break.
Don’t let it get too much sun when it’s not in use.
Doesn’t this sound strange? Sunglasses are meant to shield your eyes from the sun’s dangerous rays. Fact: Leaving your sunglasses out of their case and in direct sunlight, like on the dashboard of your car, can damage the tint and surface coatings on the lenses and shorten their life.
Don’t let them sink
The way we treat our wooden sunglasses makes them resistant to water, but not waterproof. This means that they can handle small amounts of sweat and water. Putting something in water for a long time can change the color of the wood over time. So make sure they don’t sink!
Clean them the right way
If you want to clean the lenses on your wooden sunglasses, don’t use anything but a glasses cloth. Don’t wipe your glasses clean with your shirt, jeans, or regular tissues because you could scratch the lenses.
