Location: ohio | Just picked up a pair of Costa Delmars, wave killers i believe, green mirrored glass lenses for a really decent price.
when i opened the box up there was no instructions on cleaning/maintenance nor a cleaning cloth...Is their supposed to be a cloth and/or instructions included ?
I e-mailed Costa Delmar but will probably have to wait until next week to get a reply. |

Location: Yahara River Chain | I use window cleaner for my glasses normal glasses. The key here is to use a very soft cloth to clean or wipe it off. You can get cleaning cloths at any optical store.
Oh, and good luck getting a response from Costa DelMar. I emailed them about a year and a half ago, haven't heard from them yet. |

Location: On the X that marks the mucky spot | Go to a glasses store (Pearl, Lens Crafters, etc) and they've got glasses rags everywhere. Treat them as you would a pair of prescription glasses: carefully. |

Hey MuskieTreats, what do you mean by treat them carefully? don't tell me they scratch easy ....

thanks.

Location: Yahara River Chain | As a guy that has worn glasses a good share of his life, I can tell you that what Treats is saying is don't throw them on the ground, floor, dashboard, etc. if at all possible place them in a protective case when not in use. Don't wipe them with paper towel or any other rough feeling product. Take good care of them and they will last you a long long time. You did a smart thing by purchasing a quality pair of glasses to protect your eyes from the sun, using reasonable care and they will last you. |

| If they are the Costas with glass lenses you can really abuse them without worrying about scratching the lenses. I have had a pair of glass lensed Costas for over 5 years now and there is not a single scratch on them and I clean them with whatever is handy; my shirt, a rag, paper towel, napkin, etc. Best pair of glasses I've ever owned! |

Location: WI | I have a pair of costa's too.....not sure if they are glass or plastic, but not a scratch after 4 or 5 years. I wear them everywhere too!....not just fishing. I'm not particularly careful about it either.....just seem to be good glasses. I got them at Cabela's bargain cave for 1/2 price....gotta love that! |

| From the folks at Costa Del Mar:
A neutral dishwashing liquid or a lens cleaning solution and our premium micro-fiber cleaning cloth is the best option for keeping your shades in top condition. To protect the premium anti-reflective coatings, Costa Del Mar sunglasses should not be subjected to a pH any higher than 8 or lower than 5.5 (i.e.: Windex pH is 10.7, Formula 409 pH is 11.8, Dawn pH is 6.5).
Second, always store your sunglasses in the protective case that you received when your Costa Del Mar sunglasses were purchased. Third, store your sunglasses in an area not exposed to temperature extremities. In other words, don’t leave them on the dash of your car. Finally, regular maintenance, such as tightening loose screws will ensure fewer trips to the repair department. Follow the above recommendations and your Costa Del Mar sunglasses should provide you with years of faithful service.
