Get UV protection

There are several additions that you can make to your glasses. Many of these include special protection and accessories. One addition that you should make to your glasses is UV protection. You can go for lenses that come with a UV protective coating to ensure you stay protected from the rays of the sun.

If you do not wish to get UV protection to your glasses, you can also go for sunglasses with prescriptions. Whichever option you go for, just make sure you are getting complete UV protection.

Avoid putting glasses on your head

Many glasses-wearers unconsciously slide their glasses to their head. However, you should avoid doing that at all costs. Firstly, pushing your glasses to your head exposes it to bacteria and dust that might be stuck to your hair. Once you put your glasses back on again, your eyes can catch the bacteria or the dust. This can lead to eye infections which you would want to avoid.
