Temperatures in Minnesota can be very extreme - from hot and muggy summers to subzero winters. These conditions might be exacerbated in a small and enclosed space like a vehicle.
When you’re on the go, leaving your glasses or sunglasses in the car might seem like a harmless choice, but there are important aspects to keep in mind.
Excessive heat can cause the lens coatings to degrade, warp plastic frames, and weaken mental components. Throughout time, this can lead to decreased visual clarity, discomfort, and even permanent damage to your glasses or sunglasses.
In colder months, the subzero temperatures can cause the materials in the eyewear to be brittle, and more likely to crack or break. The cold temperatures can also affect lens coatings and adhesives, leading to potential delamination or separation of the lens from the frame.
If you must leave your eyewear in the car temporarily, try to place them in a shaded area or a compartment that is less exposed to extreme temperatures. Please note that this should only be a temporary solution and not a regular practice.
