By just adding a few daily habits to your routine you can extend the life of your beloved sunglasses! Here is our ultimate guide to take the best care of your sunglasses and make sure your Sunhunters last for a long time.
Why sunglasses care matters
Buying a good pair means that you are investing in both style and eye health. Damaged lenses or bent frames can affect not only the look but also the effectiveness of your sunglasses' protection for your eyes.
Taking good care of your sunglasses will help:
- Prevent damage.
- Keep your Sunhunters looking fresh and stylish.
- Ensure good UV protection.

How to properly store your sunglasses
One of the best and easiest ways to make sure your Sunhunters are protected is by using a proper storage case, which luckily comes along with your Sunhunters. So if you aren’t wearing your sunglasses don’t leave them lying around the house or loose in your bag. Rather keep them in your protective case and in this way, you’ll avoid them being damaged by accidental drops or scratches.
Additionally, when just placing them down briefly always ensure that you place them lens side up. This will avoid any scratches from surfaces, which in the long run harms lens quality and UV protection.
The best way to clean your glasses
Cleaning your sunglasses regularly is important to keep up their quality.
Step-by-step guide:
- Rinse your lenses with lukewarm water to remove any dust or dirt.
- Use soap if needed but avoid any very harsh chemical soaps.
- Lightly clean the lenses and frames with your fingers.
- Dry carefully with a microfibre cloth.
Things to avoid when cleaning are using hot water, paper towels, harsh household chemicals or wiping lenses before rinsing off sand or dirt.
Keep them away from extreme heat
Leaving your Sunhunters in very hot environments, like on the dashboard of your car on a hot day, can damage them. The heat can cause the frames to warp or it can also damage the lens coatings.
To ensure your Sunhunters don’t suffer from heat damage store them away from the sun in cool and shaded places.
Sunglasses, travel and beaches
Sunhunters are made to accompany you on travel days, adventure days and beach days too. They aren’t the biggest fan of sand and seawater so after a day at the beach rinse them off with fresh water and wipe them with a microfiber towel. Lucky for those who love the beach, our BRON SON collection was made for beach days!
When travelling don’t just throw them into your backpack. Like we said earlier, a protective case is the best solution to prevent breakage and scratches. So next time you’re in a rush when moving around be mindful and bring along a case in your travel bag.
Take care of your sunglasses, take care of your eyes
Your Sunhunters work hard to protect your eyes and by taking care of them you can extend their ability to do so.
Whether you are chasing waves, exploring new places or just enjoying being outdoors in the sun, proper care of your Sunhunters ensures that they are always ready to go along on your adventures.
