RAWZI CARE GUIDE

Do’s of Rawzi Lenses 

1. Clean with a Microfiber Cloth and Lens Cleaner
   Use only lens-safe cleaning sprays or diluted dish soap with room temperature water. Pat or gently wipe dry with a microfiber cloth.

2. Store Sunglasses in a Protective Case
   Prevent scratches and warping by keeping them in a hard or semi-rigid case when not in use.

3. Replace Lenses if Coatings Peel or Hazing Appears
   Although Rawzi Lenses are meant to last, coatings can wear over time; it's better to replace lenses than keep using degraded optics.

 

Don'ts of Rawzi Lenses

1. Don’t Use Paper Towels, Clothing, or Tissues
   These can scratch the lens surface or strip coatings over time.

2. Don’t Use Alcohol, Windex, or Acetone-Based Cleaners
   Harsh chemicals degrade lens coatings and can cloud the surface.

3. Don’t Leave in Direct Heat (e.g., Car Dashboards)
   High heat can warp nylon lenses or bubble their coatings.

4. Don’t Drop or Toss Them Around
   Our lenses are impact resistant but repeated drops can damage the coatings, scratch or crack the lens edges.

5. Don’t Over-Flex the Frame
   Even though nylon lenses can flex, forcing the frame can pop the lenses out or damage lens integrity.

Do’s of Acetate Frames

1. Use Both Hands
   Always remove and put on your glasses with both hands to keep the frame balanced and aligned.

2. Store in a Hard Case
   Protect frames from crushing, heat, and scratches by using a structured case when not in use.

3. Clean with Mild Soap & Water
   Use lukewarm water and gentle dish soap. Dry with a microfiber cloth to avoid damaging the finish.

4. Keep Away from Extreme Heat
   Acetate is heat-sensitive. Only warm gently (with a hairdryer or very warm tap water) when adjustments are needed.

5. Have Adjustments Done by a Professional (if unsure)
   Opticians have the tools and training to reshape acetate without damaging it.

6. Use very warm tap water or a hairdryer on high setting for Adjustments
   Always warm acetate before bending to prevent cracking.

Don’ts of Acetate Frames

1. Don’t Leave in a Hot Car
   High temperatures can warp the frame or cause it to lose its shape permanently.

2. Don’t Bend Cold Acetate
   Attempting to reshape without heat can cause fractures, especially around hinges or bridge areas.

3. Don’t Use Alcohol-Based Cleaners
   Alcohol or harsh solvents can degrade the finish and dull the shine of acetate over time.

4. Don’t Place Face-Down on Surfaces
   Doing so risks scratching lenses and flexing the bridge or temples unevenly.

5. Don’t Store Near Direct Heat Sources
   Avoid placing frames near radiators, stoves, or direct sunlight for long periods.

Do’s of Titanium Frames

1. Use Both Hands to Put On and Take Off
   Prevent stress on the hinges and maintain frame alignment.

2. Store in a Hard Case
   Protect from accidental drops, pressure, or scratches.

3. Clean Regularly
   Use a microfiber cloth and mild soap with room temperature water to remove oils and debris.

4. Get Professional Adjustments if Needed
   Titanium is more difficult to adjust than acetate and requires specialized tools and skill.

5. Tighten Screws Occasionally
   Titanium hinges can loosen with frequent use. A quick tighten keeps fit secure.

 

Don’ts of Titanium Frames

1. Don’t Try to Bend Without Tools
   Titanium is resilient but not flexible like acetate. Forcing bends can snap or stress the material.

2. Don’t Leave Them Unprotected
   Though strong, titanium can still scratch, dent, or twist if dropped or crushed.

3. Don’t Expose to Harsh Chemicals
   Avoid bleach, alcohol, or acetone — they can damage coatings and degrade nose pads.

4. Don’t Over-Tighten Screws
   The threading in titanium frames can strip if overtightened.

5. Don’t Rely on DIY Adjustments
   Titanium needs heat and precision tools to adjust properly. Avoid pliers or forcing changes at home.
