To wipe glasses effectively and safely, follow these simple steps to avoid scratches and ensure clear vision:
-
Wash and Dry Your Hands: Start with clean hands to prevent transferring dirt and oils to your lenses. Use soap and water, and dry them thoroughly with a lint-free towel.
-
Gently Blow Away Loose Dirt: Before wiping, blow on your lenses to remove any loose particles like dust or debris. This minimizes the risk of scratching the lenses when wiping.
-
Wipe with a Lens-Safe Cloth: Use a clean, microfiber cloth specifically designed for eyeglasses. Gently wipe the lenses using side-to-side or circular motions. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or clothing, as these can scratch the lens coating.
-
Dry Remaining Residue: If any moisture or streaks remain after wiping, use a clean, dry portion of your microfiber cloth to buff the lenses until they are clear.
By following these steps, you can keep your glasses clean and clear, protecting your vision and the integrity of your lenses.
