Cleaning & Care
Cleaning Instructions
Keep your lenses performing at their best with regular cleaning. RIA’s 2-in-1 Anti-Fog & Lens Cleaning Spray is great for a regular sports sunglass cleaning routine.
How to clean sports sunglasses:
- Rinse lenses with lukewarm water to remove dirt, dust, salt, or debris.
- Wash gently using mild soap and water or an eyewear-safe cleaning wipe.
- We recommend ZEISS® Lens Cleaning Wipes, which have been tested and approved for use on RIA lenses.
- Dry and polish lenses with a clean microfiber cloth. Forgot your cleaning cloth? Try RIA’s Microfiber Cleaning Pouch.
- Never use paper towels, tissues, shirt sleeves, or abrasive materials, as they can scratch lens coatings.
- Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, solvents, acetone, or household chemicals that may damage lenses or frame materials.
Storage
Proper storage helps extend the life of your sunglasses and lens coatings.
- Never place sunglasses face down on hard surfaces.
- Store your sunglasses in the included protective case whenever they are not being worn.
- Keep sunglasses in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid excessive heat, including vehicle dashboards, glove compartments, heater vents, saunas, or other environments above 100°F.
- Allow sunglasses to dry completely before storing after workouts or outdoor activities.
Post-Activity Care
Caring for Sports Sunglasses After Activity
Performance eyewear is regularly exposed to sweat, sunscreen, dirt, saltwater, and environmental debris. After cycling, running, golf, fishing, tennis, pickleball, or other outdoor activities:
- Rinse lenses and frames with fresh water.
- Remove sweat and sunscreen buildup before storage.
- Dry with a microfiber cloth.
- Store in a protective case to prevent scratches during transport.
