7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lenses fogging up | Excessive humidity, dirt/oil on lenses, improper fit. | Clean lenses thoroughly. Ensure glasses fit snugly to allow for proper ventilation. The Scotchgard coating provides anti-fog properties, but extreme conditions may still cause some condensation. |
| Discomfort or slipping | Improper fit, glasses not adjusted correctly. | Adjust temples for a secure and comfortable fit. Consider optional accessories like an elastic head strap if available and needed. |
| Scratched lenses | Improper cleaning, abrasive contact, poor storage. | Replace scratched lenses or the entire pair of glasses as scratches can impair vision and reduce protection. Always store in a protective case. |
