Leaving your glasses in the car is not advisable, especially during hot or sunny days. Glasses, particularly those with delicate lenses or frames, may be damaged by heat and direct exposure to strong sunlight.
First, high temperatures inside the car can damage the lenses of your glasses, especially if they are made of heat-sensitive materials such as polycarbonate. Heat can cause your lenses to warp or even break, affecting their functionality and your ability to see clearly through them.
Secondly, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may fade or alter the color of your eyeglass frames. This could affect the aesthetic appearance of the glasses and may require replacement of the frame.
How the sun and heat damage the lenses and frames of your glasses:
-
Deformation of the lenses: High temperatures can cause warping of the lenses, especially if they are made of heat-sensitive materials such as polycarbonate. The deformation of the lenses can affect their curvature and ability to focus light correctly, thus compromising your vision.
-
Overheating of the lenses: Direct exposure to bright sunlight can overheat the lenses of your glasses. This can cause permanent damage, such as cracks or separation of the layers that make up the lens itself.
-
Fading or alteration of the color of the lenses: Sunlight can fade or discolor the lenses, especially if they are made of materials that are not UV resistant. This can affect the quality of the images and the ability of the lenses to correctly filter harmful light.
-
Frame deterioration: Heat and sun exposure can also damage the frames of your glasses. Plastic materials can become brittle and break, while metallic materials can discolor or warp. The frame may lose its strength and structural integrity, making the glasses less reliable.
To protect your glasses, it is advisable to avoid leaving them exposed to direct sunlight and high temperatures. When you are not wearing your glasses, place them in a protective case and store them in a cool, dry place. Additionally, be sure to clean your glasses regularly with the appropriate tools and products to keep them in good condition.
Leaving your glasses in the car also increases the risk of theft. If you leave your glasses visible inside the car, you could attract the attention of potential thieves who might break windows to steal them.
If, for some reason, you have to leave your glasses in the car, be sure to put them in a safe place out of sight, such as in the glove compartment or trunk. Also, try to avoid doing this during very hot or sunny days.
In general, it is always advisable to take your glasses with you when you get out of the car, especially if you need them to drive or see clearly.
