To make sunglasses clear, you'll essentially be cleaning the lenses to remove any smudges, dirt, or film that's clouding your vision. Here's how:
Steps to Clean Your Sunglasses:
-
Remove Dust and Debris: Before you start cleaning, gently blow off any loose dust or dirt particles. This prevents scratching the lenses during the cleaning process. You can also use a soft brush designed for cleaning optics.
-
Apply Lens Cleaner: Use a lens cleaner specifically designed for eyeglasses or sunglasses. Avoid using household cleaners, as they may contain harsh chemicals that can damage the lens coating. Spray a small amount of the cleaner onto a clean, dry, and lint-free microfiber cloth.
-
Gently Wipe the Lenses: Using the cloth, gently rub both sides of the lenses in a circular motion to remove any smudges, fingerprints, or oily residue. Avoid applying too much pressure, as this can also lead to scratches.
-
Inspect and Repeat: Inspect the lenses for any remaining streaks or smudges. If needed, repeat the process with a clean section of the microfiber cloth.
-
Allow to Air Dry (Optional): You can allow the lenses to air dry completely, or you can gently buff them dry with another clean, dry microfiber cloth.
Important Considerations:
- Use the Right Cloth: Always use a microfiber cloth designed for cleaning lenses. Other materials can scratch the lens surface.
- Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Never use paper towels, tissues, or your shirt to clean your sunglasses. These materials can scratch the lenses.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your sunglasses regularly to prevent buildup and maintain clear vision.
- Professional Cleaning: For stubborn smudges or damage, consider taking your sunglasses to an optician for professional cleaning.
By following these steps, you can effectively clean your sunglasses and maintain clear, unobstructed vision.
