Looking after your Sunglasses

Clean the lens only with a soft cloth. Tissues can cause scratches and solvents may damage the actual lens. Regular washing in lukewarm water and mild detergent will also help prolong the life of your sunglasses. Always remember to dry with a soft clean cloth.

Do not stretch your sunglasses, avoid wearing them on the top of your head and always try to store them in a protective case.

Do not leave your sunglasses in exposed heat or concentrated sunlight, eg on the car dashboard, as this can damage the lens and distort plastic frames.

A wide range of sunglass accessories are available to help look after and prolong the life of your Foster Grant's including, chains, cords, cloths, cleaning sprays, repair kits and a selection of cases.
