How to clean sports glasses

Fundamental question that every athlete asks himselfone is: How can I best clean my sports glasses without running the risk of ruining them?

This question is fundamental for the correct functionality of your sports glasses used to practice your favorite sport. Clearly if the lenses are not clean you will see itone it will be foggy and unclear, which negatively affects the performance during sporting activity. Using a dirty lens not only reduces the performance, but it increases the risk from a safety point of view of falling or performing the technical gesture incorrectly.
It also has a negative effect from a physiological point on the eye itself because it is increased esponential visual stress which tires him very quickly, because in a completely involuntary way he carries out a series of repeated physiological mechanisms to try to focus on the blurry image generated by the dirty lens. The moment the lens is cleaned the eye starts working correctly again, drastically reducing visual fatigue.

Another very negative aspect to combat is lens fogging, often generated during phases of great fatigue specialmind when the air recirculation is not sufficient to prevent condensation from depositing on the internal surface of the lens. It is important to know that there are specific chemical treatments that form an anti-fogging film on the internal surface of the lens, however in particular circumstances, even with correct air recirculation, the treatment is not sufficient to prevent fogging. So even if your sports glasses are equipped with anti-fog treatment but they fog up every now and then... Don't worry, it's normal.

For those who use sports glasses without anti-fog treatment which regularly fog up during periods of great fatigue, you can find anti-fog cleaning liquids on the market which not only clean the lens, but also form an anti-fog film, of the lasting approximately 2 days, on the internal surface of the lens. In this case, correct cleaning of the lens can be combined with anti-fog technology.

It is therefore essential for the health of your eyes to properly clean your sports glasses after each outing, to eliminate bacteria and dirt that deposits on the lenses and frames. In addition to the health factor, it is essential for correct maintenanceone of your sports glasses and to increase the life of each componentonent over time.
Constantly cleaning the lenses prevents small deposits of dirt which will be very difficult to remove, and if removed incorrectly can lead to annoying smears on the surface of the lens.

  the lens better and eliminate bacteria for proper hygiene. Our
  advice is to clean the glasses (both the lenses and the frame) with
  lukewarm water (water that is too cold or too hot could damage the
  photochromatism of the lens, or damage the anti-fog treatment when
  provided on the lens). We recommend using neutral soaps, we can
  Place a small amount directly on the lens and wipe with the cloth
  in microfibre. Rinse with warm water. For drying you can
  leave the glasses to air dry or use cotton woolone soft.
  
  It is also possible to clean with warm water without soapone lenses and frame e
  When the frame and lenses are dry, use anti-fog liquid to clean
  the lens and eliminate bacteria.
  
  Or if the lenses are not visually dirty, it is possible
  only clean the frame with warm water and dry it with a cloth, and in
  Then use the liquid described above to effectively clean the

lens treatments.

  techniques described above. It is important to know what sports glasses are
  constructed with different materials than sunglasses or frames
  view. Elements such as nose pads or hinges are made of plastic, e.g
  they do not undergo oxidation with water or sweatone. For some parts like
  you intersect itone between the temples and the front part of the frame and the nose pad
  we recommend having a lens brush to remove them effectively
  the dirt that can be deposited in these difficult to clean parts only
  with a jet of warm water.

Rule number 5:
Use a toothbrush to clean the nose pad and parts
more difficult to clean

BEWAREONE TO PHOTOCHROMIC LENSES:
The correct process of cleaning photochromic lenses is of fundamental importance. Photochromic lenses are speciallenses equipped with one specialand chemical treatment that generates a reactionone reversible chemistry in direct contact with UV rays which cause the lens to darken and lighten when irradiatedone ends. It is important for cleaning this specialand type of lens, to follow the notes we will describe to the letter to prevent damage from the chemical treatment and extend the life of the photochromic lens (generally 2 years or 2000 light/dark light changes).

• Use
  only warm water, avoid
  then cleaning the lens with any type of sapone even if neutral.
• Use
  anti-fog cleaning liquid described above when it is intended
  carry out a complete cleaning of the lenses.

These 2 important notes are valid not only for cleaning
of the photochromic lenses of your sports glasses, but also for lenses
equipped with anti-fog treatment.

Below are some quick tips of things
DO'S and DON'Ts for cleaning your sports glasses:

• The temperature of the water for cleaning
  slow will be ALWAYS WARM.
• For lenses that are NOT photochromic and which are NOT
  equipped with anti-fog treatment it is possible to use sapone neutral for
  cleaning the lens. Rinse off any foam with warm water.
• Once drying is complete, clean any marks
  with microfibre cloth.

• Never leave your sports glasses in
  car under the summer sun, or store them near heat sources.

• Avoid drying the lenses with paper towels
  (e.g. Scottex), if you really need to use cotone soft.

• Do not clean the lenses with damp paper towels, the
  cellulose can irreversibly damage the lens.
