How to Clean Your Eyeglasses

The windows to the soul. This is what they say our eyes are. This is why it is important to keep clean our visual environment, especially if you happen to be one who uses spectacles or contact lenses. One has to keep the lenses cleaned regularly more than just the regular wiping of your glasses to what ever piece of clothing you are in. 

Once a week make sure to wash your eyeglasses with mild soap and warm water. Dry the lenses using a non-abrasive cloth. Never use toilet paper or anything of the same texture. There are actually cleaning agents available in the market to clean off those stubborn fingerprints and build up of dirt, check your optical shop. Invest in professional lens cloth that is also available from the optical shop. Use this to buff your lenses in a circular motion. Be gentle. Never press the lenses too hard. With a non abrasive soap and away from fabric softening agents, wash the cleaning cloth every week.

If you can at all afford it, invest in a scratch proof kind of eye glasses. This will keep you off with having to sport glasses with marks all over the always gets in the way of your vision.
