How to Clean Your Glasses
Dirty, smudged glasses can obscure your vision more than a weak prescriptionāso regular cleaning is essential. At OptoDoc, we recommend this simple routine to keep your frames looking great and your lenses crystal clear.
1. Rinse First
Hold your glasses under a gentle stream of lukewarm water. This removes dust and particles that could scratch your lenses when you wipe them.
2. Apply a Drop of Dish Soap
Use a mild, lotion-free dishwashing soap. Place a small drop on each lens and gently rub both sides with your fingertipsāalong with the nose pads and frame edges.
3. Rinse Again Thoroughly
Rinse off all soap residues. Soap left on the lenses can leave streaks or attract more dirt.
4. Shake Off Excess Water
Give your glasses a gentle shake so most water droplets fall awayāthis makes drying quicker and reduces water spots.
5. Dry with a Microfiber Cloth
Use a clean microfiber clothānever paper towels or clothing, which can scratch lenses. Gently pat and wipe until fully dry.
6. Polish and Inspect
Give lenses one final polish with the microfiber cloth, checking for streaks. Ensure screws and nosepads are tight and the frame sits comfortably.
Pro Tips
- Keep a travel-sized spray lens cleaner and microfiber pouch in your bag.
- Avoid harsh chemicals like ammonia or window cleaner.
- Clean at least once daily if you wear glasses constantly.
