Caring for Your Lenses
EYRA lenses are engineered for clarity, durability, and everyday performance. With the right care, they’ll stay clear and protected for years. These simple habits help preserve the coatings and maintain the quality you expect.
How to Clean Your Lenses
Use a microfiber cloth and a lens‑safe cleaning solution. Gently wipe in small circular motions until the surface is clear.

Understanding Your Lens Coatings
EYRA lenses include hydrophobic and scratch‑resistant coatings designed to improve clarity and durability. These coatings help repel water, oils, and smudges, but they still require proper care to perform at their best.
Hydrophobic Coating
Repels water and reduces fogging.
Oleophobic Coating
Helps resist fingerprints and smudges.
Scratch‑Resistant Hard Coat
Protects against everyday wear, but no lens is completely scratch‑proof.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Smudges or Fingerprints
Use a microfiber cloth and lens‑safe spray.
Dust or Sand
Rinse with clean water before wiping to avoid micro‑scratches.
Fogging
Allow lenses to acclimate to temperature changes. Hydrophobic coatings help reduce fogging but cannot eliminate it entirely.
Long‑Term Care
With consistent care, your lenses will maintain their clarity and performance.
- Clean regularly with microfiber and lens‑safe spray
- Avoid harsh environments when possible
- Store in the protective case to prevent accidental scratches
- If adjustments are needed, most optical shops can assist
What Not to Do
To protect your lenses, avoid:
- Wiping with clothing or towels
- Using paper products
- Using household cleaners or alcohol
- Leaving eyewear in extreme heat
- Tossing frames into bags without a case
- Placing lenses face‑down on surfaces
