It is important to keep your eyeglasses clean. Dust and dirt could lead to permanent damage to your lenses and frame. A dirty lens may also cause strain in the eyes as well as poor visibility. A daily cleaning of your eyeglasses is the best way to prevent scratches on the lens and to keep your eyeglasses looking brand new.
Here are a few simple tips on how to clean your eyeglass lenses and frames safely:
1. Wash and dry your hands. Clean hands will prevent any transfer of dirt, dust or debris during the cleaning of your eyeglasses.
2. Run your glasses under lukewarm water then apply a small drop of dish washing soap (make sure the dish soap is lotion-free). Gently wash your lenses on both sides as well as the entire frame.
3. Be sure to thoroughly rinse your glasses so that no soap residue is left behind.
4. Gently shake off the excess water and dry your glasses using a microfiber cloth.
5. It is always helpful to have a spray eyeglass cleaner and microfiber cloth on hand for an easy quick clean of your glasses throughout the day.
