Proper lens care doesn’t only ensure better vision, it also extends the life of your glasses. Improper cleaning can damage Even lenses, even if they have an anti-scratch hard coating. Moreover, as smart glasses containing precision electronics and advanced optical displays, your Even G2 requires special care compared to traditional eyewear. Even Realities provides a few tips on how to quickly, thoroughly, and safely clean your Even G2.
Understanding IP65 Water & Dust Resistance
Your Even G2 features an IP65 rating. This means it is highly resistant to dust and can withstand light water splashes, such as sweat during a workout or a light drizzle. However, IP65 does NOT mean the glasses are waterproof.
Strictly Prohibited Cleaning Methods
To protect the internal micro-electronics, batteries, and waveguide lenses, please completely avoid the following common habits used for traditional glasses:
No Running Water: Never wash or rinse the glasses under a faucet, shower, or running water.
No Ultrasonic Cleaners: The high-frequency vibrations and liquid immersion of ultrasonic cleaning machines will permanently destroy the internal electronic components and optical structures.
No Submersion or Steam: Never submerge the glasses in any liquid. Do not wear or bring them into saunas, steam rooms, pools, or hot springs.
Important Warranty Notice: Please be aware that liquid ingress or hardware failure resulting from washing, ultrasonic cleaning, submerging, or exposure to high-temperature steam is considered user-caused physical damage and will void your warranty.
Fast Cleaning
Lens cleaning wipe: The easiest way to clean your lenses is to use a lens cleaning wipe to remove coarse dirt particles.
Moisten microfiber cloths: A simple microfiber cloth can also work, but dry cloths aren't always ideal for removing greasy substances. It's better to moisten the cloth with a cleaning spray first, then clean the lens. (There is 1 pc of microfiber cloth included in the Even G2 package.)
Avoid using tissues or clothing: Even if you're desperate, do not use tissues or your clothing to clean your glasses. These can carry particles of dust or dirt which, when rubbed on the lenses, cause micro-scratches. Over time, these scratches accumulate, gradually impairing the quality of the lenses and affecting your vision. Scratches cannot be removed from either plastic or glass lenses. Even if the defect seems only cosmetic, light dispersed by micro-fine scratches can irritate the eyes, eventually requiring you to buy new glasses.
Deep Cleaning
Proper care extends to your glasses. Follow these tips to keep your Even G2 Digital Glasses looking as good as new:
Cleaning sprays with microfiber cloths: Apart from wipes, a cleaning spray combined with a microfiber cloth offers excellent cleaning for your glasses and frames. Apply the spray to the cloth, not directly to the lenses and frames, to avoid liquids entering gaps in the frames. This method ensures your glasses are not damaged while providing enough moisture to effectively remove dirt, makeup, or grease.
Hygiene and fit: Clean the sides of the frames and nose pads periodically. This not only maintains hygiene but also improves the fit by removing greasy substances that can cause slipping.
