See Clearly for Longer With These Simple Eyewear Care Tips.
We hope you love your new pair! To ensure your sunglasses or glasses remain in top condition and provide you with lasting satisfaction, it's important to give them a little extra attention and care. We have gathered some simple care tips so you can get the most out of your new eyewear. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Cleaning tips
Maintaining clean lenses and frames not only enhances the appearance of your eyewear but also ensures optimal clarity. Here's how to keep them sparkling:
- Water works just fine: Wash dust and grit from the lenses under cold running water and dry with a microfibre cloth. If this doesn't do the trick and you don't have lens cleaning spray on hand, try some warm soapy water. To avoid damage to your lenses and frames, opt for a mild dish soap that doesn't contain bleach or similar harsh chemicals.
- Use a microfibre soft cloth: Avoid using your t-shirt or tissue, as these can leave behind residue and scratches. Instead, reach for a microfibre cloth. These ultra-fine materials absorb dust along with water and oil buildup, leaving your lenses streak-free.
- Protect with a cleaning spray: Take your cleaning routine up a notch by using a gentle lens solution spray. Our cleaning sprays are specially formulated to provide optimal lens clarity. They help build an oleophobic layer that repels oils, fingerprints, and water buildup, ensuring your lenses stay pristine.
- Remove salt, sweat and sand: If you're enjoying a day at the beach, be mindful of the saltwater, sweat and sand, which can wear down protective lens layers and corrode metal parts. After your beach adventures, rinse your sunglasses with fresh water to remove any particles and leave them to dry before cleaning with your microfibre cloth.

Storage do's and don'ts
Proper storage is essential for protecting your eyewear from scratches and damage. Follow these tips to preserve your pair:
- Keep in a case: We recommend to always store your sunglasses or glasses in a case when not in use. As tempting as it is, tossing them in your bag or leaving them on surfaces can lead to scuffs on the frame and scratches on the lenses. Cases are designed to provide maximum protection and ensure your eyewear stays in pristine condition. Pouches are a great alternative for a short-term storage solution on the go. Need a case? Find one here.
- Avoid wearing them on your head: Wearing your sunglasses on your head, even for a short while, can distort the shape and damage the nose pads and temples. Instead, consider using glasses chains or cords for a stylish alternative. We offer a range of options perfect for any occasion, from boating to beach outings.
- Protect from excessive heat: Exposure to excessive heat can warp the frame of your sunglasses, compromising their fit and durability. Avoid leaving your eyewear in hot cars or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Opt for shade or use your case to shield your sunglasses from heat damage.
- Long term storage: After being stored for a long period of time without wear, acetate frames can sometimes lose their shape. This can be easily fixed by having the frames heated and readjusted by an eyewear specialist.
How to adjust your fit
Ensuring a comfortable fit is crucial for both comfort and functionality. Here's how to adjust your sunglasses or glasses for the perfect fit:
- Nose Pads: Many sunglasses are fitted with adjustable nose pads. If your sunglasses feel too loose or tight on your nose, gently adjust the nose pads to achieve a comfortable fit. Avoid applying excessive pressure to prevent damage to the frame.
- Temples: Acetate frames in particular can be slightly adjusted by hand to fit securely behind your ears without causing discomfort or slippage. Be careful not to bend them too forcefully, as this can affect the overall fit and durability of your eyewear.
- Visit us: If you live local to Just Sunnies, you are welcome to visit us any time for a free lens clean or frame adjustment. If you are not local, some opticians or eye care professionals will be happy to adjust these for you.

Have a Question? Refer to Our Eyewear Care FAQs.
How often should I clean my sunglasses or glasses?
The best way to keep your pair in great condition is to clean them whenever you notice smudges or dirt. Allowing a buildup of saltwater, sweat or dirt can cause the lenses and frames to corrode over time. Keeping on top of your cleaning and having a lens cloth handy is essential for optimal eyewear maintenance.
Do I need to use lens cleaner to clean my eyewear?
While we recommend a lens cleaner to clean and protect your eyewear, you don't have to use one for every clean. For most marks and dirt, cold running water and a microfibre lens cloth will work just fine.
A lens cleaning spray is a great product to have for those deeper cleans. It also helps build an oleophobic layer that repels oils, fingerprints, and water buildup, ensuring your lenses stay pristine for longer.
Can I use a household cleaner to clean my lenses?
No, it is best to avoid household cleaners as they often contain harsh chemicals that can damage lens coatings. For the safest and most effective cleaning, stick to a microfibre lens cloth and a lens cleaning solution. These are formulated for lenses and will clean without damaging any coatings on your eyewear.
Do my sunglasses or glasses come with a lens cloth or case?
Not all sunglasses and glasses come with a microfibre lens cloth or case. Our eyewear product pages display images and lists what that product will include in the product details. If you require a lens cloth, lens spray, spare case or other accessories, they can be purchased here for as little as $4.95.
What should I do if my sunglasses become wet?
If your sunglasses get wet, gently pat them dry with a soft cloth and let them air dry completely before storing them in their case. If they have been exposed to saltwater, ensure they are cleaned properly with a lens cleaning solution or warm soapy water to avoid the saltwater drying and corroding the frames and lenses.
Can I adjust the fit of my eyewear at home?
Minor adjustments to the fit of your sunglasses or glasses, such as tightening or loosening the temples, can usually be done at home. However, for major adjustments, it's best to visit an optician or visit us at our store in Burleigh Heads.
