Common frame care mistakes - Number one frame care mistake is when they're not being worn, they're left someplace where something bad could happen to them, leave them in reach of kids. Children are the number one detriment to a parent's glasses. The kids will bend them up and twist them. So keep them at a level where your young ones can't get to them. Dogs demolish glasses. Those two things really come to the forefront of my mind. So, first off, placing the glasses. The other thing is keep them in a case because if they fall onto the floor, you step on them, again, if it's in a case, you're going to be alright. If it's not, you're going to be heading to your optician to find out what the warranty program is for those glasses. Again, putting them on with two hands, taking them off with two hands, not leaving them in the car. If they do get out of adjustment, don't try to do it yourself as I've kind of already showed with these glasses. If they're bent like this, take them to the optician, don't try to undo the damage yourself. You're more liable to break it than your optician, and generally speaking, an optician is going to feel the obligation. If they were the ones to break them, then they're going to be the ones responsible. So take care of your frames, keep them in places where your young ones and your animals cannot reach them. Try to keep them in the case, don't leave them in the car, and you should be good to go.
