How to clean and maintain your glasses like an optician
1. The Right Daily Cleaning Method
Do:
- Rinse under lukewarm water first
- Use dish soap (phosphate-free)
- Dry with microfiber cloth
Don’t:
- Use paper towels or clothing
- Apply window cleaners (ammonia damages coatings)
- Wipe dry lenses (causes scratches)
2. Proper Storage Habits
Always use a hard case when not wearing
Store lenses facing upward
Avoid hot cars (warps frames)
3. Fog Prevention (Especially for Mask Wearers)
Soap Film Method
Rub a tiny amount of soap, then buff off
Anti-Fog Sprays
Opt for alcohol-free formulas
Nose Pad Adjustments
Ask your optician to adjust fit for better airflow
4. Protecting Special Coatings
Anti-Reflective
Clean only with recommended solutions
Blue Light
