Yeah, it will more easily fool people into believing the message. A pharmacist (in a white coat, told me to just use alcohol to clean my glasses when I asked where the glasses cleaners were. It ruined the coatings on my glasses. My optometrist had a fit when I told her.
Just few note points to consider- 1) do not use , isopropyl alcohol, detergent , soap, etc . Use dishwash liquid ( not soap ) tht will not leave any residue 2 ) clean with glass cleaner cloth as shown in video only , it is usually given when u buy glasses , usually like silk 3 ) avoid leaving glasses in any places . Keep thm in box whn not using . It will keep off dust also reducing risk of getting scratches, mishandling . 4 ) never give glasses to people who don't wear thm , NEVER . They usually grab glasses by touching lenses .
FINALLY, after going through thousands of videos of how to clean your glasses, this is the ONLY video that actually has the materials I have THANK YOU SO MUCH just got my first glasses, and really need help with taking care of it;)
did it help? is it okay? i am having my glasses for the first time and its like there's a smoke or like blurry. i am asking because i don't want to harm my glasses or make it worse
I used to frequent a pub where a bell was rung once an evening. The drinkers then handed over their spectacles which went straight into the dishwasher for cleaning and warm air drying - I promise you, lenses were like new even if some prescriptions got mixed up …
Everyone seems to use isopropyl alcohol but I've always avoided it thinking it could stain eventually. I'm so happy that a big lens manufacturer is recommending just water and detergent.
@@qvz318 You should NOT use dishsoap on glasses, if you have any kind of anti scratch coating on them the soap can destroy it. All you need to do is clean them under warm water (rub gently against the glass with your fingers) then clean them with a micro cloth, NOT kitchen paper!

The clip was interesting and useful Some time ago, I bought prescription glasses from Bluebyby, but I was busy cleaning my glasses. This video was very helpful, thank you.
I'm an optician myself a we sell Premiere Crizal and Crizal Lenses thank you so much for posting these videos is very educational and I'm very grateful for them
Question, so I've seen videos saying to use original Dawn dish soap. But is it safe to also use the Dawn ultra platinum fresh scent, is there a difference between the two?
I wear mine in the shower every day and use ivory. I dry them twice in two separate parts of a clean cotton towel. If they smudge later or get splttered with grease while cooking some other dirty activities, I'll use dish or other non lotion soap and always a cotton towel or washcloth. Never use those nylon cleaning lens wipes unless you want to smear them. Best trick I share with everyone I see wearing glasses. My mom thought she had cataracts until I cleaned her glasses one day, lol
I’ve been washing mine for years with Dawn and warm water and it hasn’t damaged any part of the lenses. An abrasive soap, sure, but dish soap like shown here, not a chance.
@deborahgeorge3238 That is exactly why take any advice from them with a grain of salt because they make lens. Years ago, tobacco companies told everybody that tobacco is safe and healthy.
I’ve been wearing glasses for 40 years. Since they’ve had anti-glare coatings I find the coating starts coming off within the 6 months before I change my glasses (about every 3 years). I was told recently this is because I wash them daily. I just wash them in the shower with shower gel. The optician told me to just use water. Frankly I’d rather have grease free clean glasses and just accept the coating will eventually fail.
@@Alex-gh3zo hot water is definitely more effective at dissolving fat, oils and moving away surfactants like soap. Try cleaning a pan with congealed fat on it with cold vs hot water alone, the hot water dissolves all the fat. Its the same thing for soap. What's your logic? The only problem i can see with hot water is that sometimes old hot water tanks leach iron and other things into the water and reflective coatings might get stressed by very hot water. Cold water tends to bead off the lens better, but takes longer to dry usually.
@ilovefreeski Hot water is great for washing. Cold water for rinsing. Try making a sink of hot was water and then make a sink of cold water using the same amount of soap. You get far fewer suds and they break down much faster. Cold water is superior for rinsing soap residue.
I've always cleaned them like that, wondering if I've been doing the right thing - now I know. I use filtered water to rinse them though (I have a filter attached to my kitchen cold-water faucet)
I’ve done this many times, thinking it was the second best way to clean my glasses, after the solution and cloth the optometrist sold me. The expert has spoken, now I know the best way.
I have used an ultrasonic cleaning bath for years. Warm water and a drop of washing up liquid. This cleans the nooks and crannies of the hinges and nose grips better than just washing under a running tap.

I use Barbazol shaving cream. It cleans, rinses completely and since I generally clean my glasses in the bathroom, it's available. I dont have to keep dish soap in the bathroom.
Ive always used a dedicated eyewear cleaner after rinsing, instead of dish soap and rinse with cold water then dry with a glass microfiber cloth to leave them dry and streak free 👍🏻
As long as you use a gentle detergent like dawn dish soap, it should be safe. And if there's anything on them, like oils, or even something abrasive, the dish soap will create a barrier around it to help prevent scratching, and also to carry it away when rinsing. Less gentle soaps and detergents could be damaging, though. Water to rinse off any particles, and a microfiber cloth might be fine, but you'll want to periodically wash the cloth with a gentle detergent or it will become saturated. You'll also want to shake it before use to ensure it doesn't have any particles on it that could be abrasive.
I wear glasses full time, and after a shower, I would run my lenses under hot running water, and wipe dry with a dedicated cotton towelettes. However, water alone does not work for my driving sunglasses, which I only remember to clean every couple of months. These get a protein grime and requires detergent and multiple wiping until the proteins are removed..
I have Photo Chromatic Transition lenses I have a hard time maintaining them to get clean any suggestions?? I have Ajax Dish soap that's what I use to wash dishes and my eye glass cleaning cloth is dirty what should I do ?
I have been doing this for years using original Dawn with a clean handi wipe. Then I dry them with a clean paper towel. This is the only method that leaves my glasses spotless.
Did you know that water's considered a solvent? I just wave the glasses under the hot water about 3 seconds, and use a dry fresh wash cloth. Good as new. Been doing that for decades.
Thank you for this information. How many times can this be done without affecting coatings on the lenses? In extreme cases (e.g. working with food or oily substances) can this be done daily? Thanks again.
After a year or 2 no matter how the lenses are cared for, the coatings will start to degrade. I wouldn’t do it constantly but only when it is necessary to get the glasses clean if other methods are not working.
I used to use windex. After all its made for glass so it should be good for glasses. Until one time I was drying my prescription sunglasses and the tinting came off. Soap and water is the way to go.
What can you use to disinfect your glasses if they have special coating on them like blue lens and anti-reflective coating? Can you use something like dettol?

Dish liquid is strong enough that people who detail cars, tell you to NEVER wash your car with dish liquid ! Over time it dulls the finish. For computer and TV screens avoid dish liquid also. BUT is OK for glasses ....?
