1. How to put on / take off / put on glasses
How to wear glasses
When wearing glasses, gently hold the temple with both hands.

How to remove glasses
Use both hands to remove the glasses.
Gently hold the temple with both hands and lift it upwards to lift the back of your ears. Please remove it while pulling it straight forward.
