Stop cleaning your glasses with your T-shirt

Most lens scratches start with a shirt corner. Here is how to clean your glasses the right way in under a minute.

We hear it every week: “My lenses got scratched so fast.” Then we see the glasses being wiped on a T-shirt. Fabric picks up dust, and dust is what scratches lenses and their coatings.

The one-minute routine

  • Rinse the lenses under lukewarm running water to wash off dust.
  • Use a drop of lens cleaner, or a little mild dish soap without lotion.
  • Gently rub both sides with your fingertips, then rinse again.
  • Dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Wash the cloth every few days.

Avoid these

  • Shirts, tissues and paper napkins
  • Hot water, or leaving glasses on a car dashboard in the sun
  • Putting glasses lens-down on a table
  • Keeping them loose in a bag without a case

Bring your glasses to any Oscar Optician store for a clean and a quick check of the screws and nose pads.
