Question 3

How do I clean my prescription lenses?

Accepted Answer

Suggestion: Use a microfiber cloth, which attracts dust and lint without scratching the lens coating; Spray the lenses with a cleaner, then wipe with a moistened cloth; Starting from the center of the lens, gently wipe in a circle, in a spiral outward to avoid pushing the dirt to the edges, and then rinse with lukewarm water; For stubborn stains, rinse the lenses before wiping to wash away abrasive particles. Not recommended: Paper towels/kitchen paper towels/cloths are not recommended; Do not use household cleaners; Do not “blow” on the lenses to “defog” them; Do not wipe the lenses directly with a dry fiber cloth. Pro Tips: Anti-blue light/anti-glare coatings: Use only alcohol-free solutions. Color-changing lenses: Avoid contact with hot water—high temperatures can damage light-sensitive molecules. Scratched lenses? Stop wiping—visit your optometrist for polishing/replacement.
