Do you have any secret tips for keeping your glasses clean?

@denislemieux7294 3 года назад

Link to the correct Dawn dishwashing soap please. There are several in the stores. Thanks.

@kalijasin 2 года назад

If you got plastic frames (acetate, poly carbonate, etc.) you should clean the frames as well Use a really clean dry microfiber cloth. You can just wipe them down and off with that. Oils from your fingers and hands when taking the glasses on and off can get onto the lenses from the frames and that can cause smudges on the lenses. Cleaning your hands and face really good before taking your glasses off or putting them on would Not hurt either.

I've used upto 50% alcohol content but it didn't damage any of the glasses or screens at our home. I reckon that 30% alcohol was the sweetspot. Pancro lens cleaner (film industry standard lens cleaner) contains 60% ALCOHOL and yet it doesn't damage lenses.

@Abril28 3 года назад

Thank you for the good advices. I didn't know the alcohol was bad onto the layers of my lenses. As always, you're a blessing for many people and I admire your gourgeousness.

@frankmontez6853 3 года назад

Yeah used to do dirty dusty construction work ( but no longer ) and eyeglasses would get scratched up fast . Wow , eyeglasses have no scratches at all using water and hand soap and drying with microfiber . And even this eyeglass shop manager told me that anti glare coating only last about a year and then flaking off happens but heard only if exposed to high heat a lot ? I live in blisering hot south Texas

I just got 2 new pairs of glasses. I have been wearing glasses since I was 5. I just bought Zeiss lens wipes and Optix 55 lens spray. Are both these good? They both have AR coatings. I always find cleaning them daunting when I get a new pair. I just don’t want to cause damage to them. Yes. I keep them in the case when I am not wearing them..

@tammytalking 2 года назад

Hi- I would like tips on cleaning the frames. My glasses have white crunchy stuff (oxidation?) on the sides and over the ears. I’ve had my glasses a long time and it just started happening. It’s on the plastic. Thanks!

@user-yr4os6jz4r 2 года назад

Gross

@marvynthemartian Год назад

That’s totally normal, especially if you’ve had your glasses a long time. It’s the result of the acetate drying out + the natural reaction between your skin oils and the environment. You can most likely have them refurbished/polished to remove it. However, if your frame isn’t in good shape, there’s always a chance they could break. An alternative to that if you don’t want to spend the money or risk a breakage, is to lightly coat the frame with olive oil, let sit overnight, then wipe away with a microfiber cloth. Be careful not to get the oil on the lenses, but if you do, just clean it off. Repeat this a few times a week and you should see *some* improvement, though nothing will rival the refurbishment. If you need your glasses daily, and this is your only pair, I’d start looking for a second or backup pair so you’re prepared. Also, for your next pair, a preventative measure to this happening on your next pair, is to wash the whole entire frame, not just the lenses once per week and more often in the hotter months. I also don’t recommend Dawn for this because, over time, Dawn will speed up the drying out process for acetate materials. Good luck!

@nithyarul7171 2 года назад

Very good advise Dr.Thanks for your program

@TheTarrMan Год назад

On a unrelated note I use Dawn to shower. Shampoo and everything, no conditioner. It works wonderful and of course as you mentioned they're always testing it on animals and people applaud them for that. (I still can't believe they found such a clever way to admit to that. Wonder what they're going to sink next.)

@saxophonesunsetsmedia 2 года назад

I was over a friend's house a few hours yesterday and their wood stove is not working properly. Eyeglass frames have a slight but noticeable smoky smell. Any other recommendations for how to safely clean smell from frames with scratch-coated lenses? My eye doc's lab tech called and recommended a very small drop of Dawn on a washcloth with lukewarm water. Fortunately, the smell is starting to fade. Thanks Dr. D.

@curlyhairdudeify Год назад

1:12 You can use paper towels ONLY if you pat them dry after rinsing, and washing them with dish soap. And they will be absolutely fine. You will only mess then them up if you rub them, even if you rub them with a microfiber cloth.

@sidneyhill6083 Год назад

The best way is to use mosquito repellent spray. Spray the lenses with a paper towel, and wipe off the excess. It'll fill in the scratches and nicks in the lenses too.
