without scratching or damaging the lenses let's take a look.
Also feel free at any point to check out the show notes and links below for further information-in case there's anything that I forget
so when it comes to cleaning your glasses you want to make sure you're doing it right because
we see a lot of funny stuff come in here to the clinic and I want to make sure that you're taking care of your glasses so you don't scratch or damage them.
The first tip
here is to make sure you clean the glasses with a microfiber lens cloth now these cloths you can usually get when you get your glasses you can actually find them in the case
when you purchase them or you can get them from your eye clinic or a local optical you can even buy them in a big bulk box buying online but these cloths are excellent for cleaning your glasses
because they are actually designed to actually pick up and remove dirt and grease from the lenses otherwise if you use something like a Kleenex a paper towel or your shirt you will actually just smear
As well as moving dirt and dust through the glass, the oil on the lenses will potentially stain and permanently ruin the lenses.
I'm actually a nerdy enough I usually keep one of these in my back pocket not just to clean my glasses but because it's really good at cleaning your phone screen
Tip number 2
is to clean new glasses was some type of eyeglass lens cleaner now there's many different products like this that you can find either online as well as through your local optical or eyeglasses store but whatever
you do make sure that you read the instructions on the back and that it says it is safe to use with AR coatings that stands for anti-reflective coatings most glasses
will have ananti-reflective coating put on them that way it'll reduce glare and hailers are on lights but some of these cleaners can be pretty harsh and can actually strip off that protective coating
And you don't want to ruin your glasses otherwise it's pretty easy to use you just spray a couple of sprays on the front and the back surface of the glasses and then again wipe clean with the microfiber cloth.
Tip number 3 is that when the spray cleaner and lens cloth just aren't doing the trick because of skin oils that get on the lens then make sure to reach for some type of dish soap
now the best type of dish upto use is the original type of Dawn dish soap if you use anything that says for sensitive skin or has some sort of Don't use the lotion in it that would potentially just get caught on the lenses
Then stain it any more you need to use the first, then you just rub it in with your fingertips on both side of the lens with a single ounce, so go forward then wash off.
Tip number 4 is that when you're rinsing the lenses make sure you use warm water and not scalding hot water otherwise
the hot water can actually damage the coatings on the lenses also if you know that you have hard water coming out of the tap then make sure you actually use some distilled water to clean them off that way
You 're not going to have any natural mineral particles on your lenses
Tip number 5 is that if you don't want any streaks of water drying on those lenses go ahead and grab a can of compressed air and
use that to clean off all of the water off the lenses that way it's basically like taking the glasses through a car wash.
Tip number 6 is that if your glasses are really dirty,
I mean they're gummed up around the hinges the nose pads around the edges of the lenses themselves then just bring the mon into a local optical or glasses shop we often have special cleaning devices
that will completely strip all of that debris off here at our clinic we actually have an ultrasonic cleaner
that we can pop out the lenses throw them in the cleaner turn it on and after a few minutes it actually vibrates and shakes the lenses and removes all that debris from those hard-to-reach spaces
I know it's pretty cool right?
Tip number 7
Is actually to be careful to get some kind of other contaminants on your lenses never attempt to wash them with any kind of domestic chemicals stuff like acetone and toenail powder can potentially interfere with the glass material particularly
if you have a type of poly carbonate lens those are like safety lenses that can actually interact with those chemicals and permanently destroy the lenses and I don't want that happening to you or your glasses so
yes be careful about using any sort of chemical that's not approved for ophthalmic use.
