Setup
Your eyeglasses come ready for professional lens installation. Follow these steps for initial setup:
- Professional Lens Installation: Take your eyeglasses to a qualified optician for the installation of your prescription lenses. Ensure the optician is aware of the frame material for proper handling.
- Initial Fitting: After lens installation, have your optician adjust the frame for a comfortable and secure fit. This includes adjusting the nose pads and temple arms to prevent slipping or pressure points.
- Cleaning: Before first use, gently clean the lenses and frame with a microfiber cloth and an approved lens cleaning solution.
Operating
Using your Columbia eyeglasses is straightforward. Proper handling ensures their longevity and maintains optical clarity.
- Wearing: Always use both hands to put on and take off your eyeglasses. This prevents bending the frame and loosening the hinges over time.
- Handling: Avoid touching the lenses directly with your fingers to prevent smudges and scratches. Hold the frame by the bridge or temples.
- Vision Correction: Wear your eyeglasses as prescribed by your eye care professional for optimal vision correction.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for preserving the condition and performance of your eyeglasses.
- Cleaning Lenses:
- Rinse lenses under lukewarm water to remove loose debris.
- Apply a small drop of mild dish soap or an approved lens cleaning spray to each lens.
- Gently rub the lenses with your fingertips.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap.
- Dry with a clean, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid paper towels or rough fabrics, which can scratch lenses.
- Cleaning Frame: Wipe the frame with a damp cloth and dry with a clean, soft cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution.
- Storage: When not in use, always store your eyeglasses in a protective hard case to prevent scratches and damage. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures (e.g., in a hot car).
- Periodic Adjustments: Visit your optician periodically for professional cleaning and adjustments to ensure the frame remains properly aligned and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your eyeglasses:
