One of the most frequent complaints from those who wear prescription glasses is the persistent "smudges" and fingerprints. However, improper cleaning is not only annoying for your vision, but it can permanently damage the expensive coatings on your lenses.
Follow the steps below for professional cleaning at home, so that your glasses from EclipseLuxeBoutique always look like new.
The 4 Steps of Proper Cleaning
1. Wash your hands
Before touching your glasses, make sure your hands are free of dust, lotion, or grease that could transfer to the lenses.
2. Rinse with lukewarm water
Before wiping the lenses, rinse them with running lukewarm water. This will remove dust particles that could cause scratches if you rubbed them directly with a cloth.
Caution: Avoid hot water, as it can damage coatings (e.g., anti-reflective).
3. Use mild liquid soap
A tiny drop of mild dish soap (without moisturizers or creams) on each lens is enough. Gently rub both sides of the lenses, as well as the nose bridge and temples where sweat accumulates.
4. Dry with the correct cloth
Rinse thoroughly and dry your glasses using a clean microfiber cloth.
-
Tip: Do not use bath towels or paper towels, as they leave lint and micro-scratches.
What NOT to do ever
-
Do not use saliva: It is unhygienic and contains enzymes that do not clean grease.
-
Do not use alcohol or acetone: These strong chemicals can "burn" the lens coatings and alter the color of the frame.
-
Do not breathe on the lenses: The moisture from your breath is not enough for proper cleaning and often just spreads the dirt around.
How to care for your microfiber cloth?
Many people forget, but if your cloth is dirty, you are simply transferring the grease back to your lenses.
-
Wash the cloth by hand with a little dish soap.
-
Allow it to air dry naturally.
-
Do not use fabric softener, as it leaves a "layer" that will fog your lenses.
