The correct way to wipe glasses

Nowadays, more and more people wear glasses, and many primary school children have started wearing glasses. Some people don't wear glasses for very long but the lenses are covered with scratches because the lenses are dirty and they don't know how to wipe them. Knowing the correct way to clean glasses can extend the service life of glasses and save yourself some expenses. Here I will tell you the correct way to wipe your glasses.

For stains such as dust and sand on the surface of the lens, be sure to rinse off the dust and sand on the surface of the lens with running water first. Do not wipe the lens directly with a lens cloth, as that will make the dust and sand become abrasives and will definitely scratch the lens. Therefore, you must remember to find a way to remove the stains on the surface of the lens first, and then use the lens cloth.

2. Apply cleaner on the lens surface to remove oil and dirt.

After washing away the floating dust with running water, you can apply detergent on the lens surface, which can effectively remove oil stains other than floating dust, such as hot oil stains in the kitchen, sweat stains, etc. The cleaning agent can be specially made for lenses, or you can use detergent or hand soap instead, as long as it can remove grease. But remember not to use toothpaste instead of lens cleaner.

After applying the lens cleaner, you can gently rub the surface of the lens with the fingertips to allow the cleaner to remove the grease more thoroughly and completely, then you can rinse the lens under running water again. After the initial rinse, the second application of detergent, and the third rinse with running water, the lenses are now relatively clean and free of dirt.

4. After drying the water, use a special lens cloth to wipe the lens.

After rinsing with running water, make sure to shake off all the moisture, then use a special lens cloth to wipe off any water drops on the lens. You can also use a napkin to gently absorb the moisture on the surface of the lens. You can also let the lenses dry naturally before wearing them.

5. When outdoors, you can spray special cleaning agent on the lens surface.

When there is no running water for washing, such as when going to outdoor activities or shopping, you can bring a special lens cleaner. When you feel that the lens has stains, spray the special cleaner on the surface of the lens to achieve a more ideal lens cleaning effect.

After washing the lens with running water, there will still be water droplets left, which can be gently absorbed with a lens cloth. Note that even if you are using special lenses, you should not wipe them too hard to prevent them from being roughened, which will reduce the light transmittance of the lenses and affect the clarity of the glasses.

Special lenses for lens cleaning require less damage to the lenses when wiping, so you should develop a habit of using special lens cloth to wipe the lenses. Never use towels, napkins, clothes hems or other local materials to wipe the lenses. This is the most damaging habit to the lenses.

7. Ask a professional optical shop to clean the lenses with ultrasonic waves.

Another ideal way to clean lenses is to use an ultrasonic cleaner. Using the principle of ultrasound, stains that are difficult to wash away with running water can be cleaned away. Therefore, if you have time, it is a good choice to go to a professional eyewear store for cleaning.
