Don't clean your glasses, wash them.
The scratches are caused by particles of dust pressed by you against the lens, and then rubbed all around. A quick rinse removes almost all the dust, and then you can dry them with any clean towel, tissue or even the shirt. I also use a drop of soap to degrease them.
I have plastic lenses with zero scratches after five years of use.
- wyclif 4y agoOh, I know about this. I did rinse them thoroughly. Then I used a few drops of Dawn dish detergent to wash them. But what I found was that even if you clean plastic lenses thoroughly, what counts is how you dry them. If you use paper or even a towel it can scratch them incrementally over time. It's so much more convenient (or maybe I'm just lazy!) to be able to dry glass lenses with a towel, paper towel, a t-shirt, or anything absorbent.
- dotancohen 4y agoThe dish detergent seems to get under coatings and ruin them, in my experience. Glass cleaner is fine, though.
- vitejose 4y agoInteresting. Are you referring to Windex or one of the optical-grade solutions? I used to use dish soap but I found that I can just run mine under warm water for thirty seconds or so and that gets them pretty clean.
- dotancohen 4y agoYes, windex is fine in my experience.
