Keeping your eyeglasses clean is essential for clear vision and eye health. Smudges, dirt, and dust can not only obstruct your sight but also lead to eye strain. At Eyeris Eye Care, we understand the importance of proper eyeglasses maintenance, so we’ve created this guide to help you keep your lenses spotless and in top condition.
Why Proper Eyeglass Cleaning Matters
Many people unknowingly clean their glasses the wrong way—using their shirt, tissues, or even saliva! These methods can scratch your lenses, reduce their effectiveness, and damage protective coatings. Using the right cleaning techniques will help extend the life of your glasses while ensuring optimal vision.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Glasses
What You’ll Need:
✔️ Microfiber cloth (prevents scratches)
✔️ Lens cleaning solution or mild dish soap
✔️ Lukewarm water (not hot!)
✔️ A clean, dry case for storage
How to Properly Clean Your Glasses:
Wash Your Hands: Before handling your glasses, clean your hands to remove oils or dirt.
Rinse with Lukewarm Water: This helps remove dust and debris that could cause scratches.
Use a Mild Soap or Lens Cleaner: Apply a drop of mild dish soap or spray an eyeglass cleaning solution onto the lenses. Avoid household cleaners, as they can damage coatings.
Gently Clean the Lenses & Frame: Use your fingers to rub both sides of the lenses and the frame, especially the nose pads.
Rinse Again: Make sure all soap or cleaner is removed completely.
Dry with a Microfiber Cloth: Use a lint-free microfiber cloth to avoid scratches.
Common Eyeglass Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid
🚫 Never use tissues, napkins, or your shirt—they contain fibers that can scratch your lenses.
🚫 Avoid harsh chemicals like ammonia, bleach, or vinegar, which can strip lens coatings.
🚫 Don’t use hot water, as it may damage anti-reflective coatings.
🚫 Never wipe dry lenses—always rinse them first to remove dirt and dust.
Bonus Tips for Keeping Your Glasses Clean Longer
Store them in a protective case when not in use.
Avoid placing them face-down on surfaces.
Use a microfiber cloth for touch-ups throughout the day.
