| 678485 | 2008-06-15 06:19:00 | I've got micro-fibre cloths which are just that, a very fine fibre cloth with a large surface area to clean but I found using a clean cotton handkerchief works just as well. Was all set to buy some flash cleaning product from the opticians till they recommended simply using dish washing liquid and cold or lukewarm water. I use the dab of dish-washing liquid on both sides of each lens, rubbing with thumb and finger then rinsing off and drying with a cotton or micro-fibre cloth method works great. The rest of the time it's the corner of the handkerchief. Using (Kleenex) tissues is apparently not the best thing to use because they are made from wood pulp and can put micro-scratches on the lens. Whether this applies to 'glass' glasses I don't know as I use plastic ones. |

| 678486 | 2008-06-15 06:30:00 | Hi Guys I have bought a bottle of stuff called Calotherm Lens Cleaning Solution. I use a soft clean rag to clean them. But I would not say that the result is brilliant. Any suggestions ? for products and best type of cloth I get good results from something called "i series" which says it contains Isopropanol, which is probably a shortened version of what others quote as Isopropyl acohol. Important I think is to have a few readily accessible little spray bottles around, one at home, one at work and perhaps one in the car. That should cover all the bases. Must put my cleaning cloths through the wash again :o Misty :) |

| 678488 | 2008-06-15 07:06:00 | DO NOT use normal cloths to clean glasses, especially the plastic glasses. you actually scratch the glasses quite a bit. the micro cloths are much better tho you still have to wash them and keep them clean. also the micro cloths get your glasses a lot cleaner than useing paper towls/cotton cloth etc. plastic lensens have improved to the point there is not a lot of difference between them and glass. you can still scratch glass and glass is a lot more prone to breaking however. it depends a bit on what activies you do and if you where them all the time or part time. |

| 678490 | 2008-06-15 09:45:00 | Makes me laugh to see to see some of you buying products to clean yours glasses, when warm water and some sort of soap well do the same job. I suppose you like to keep your optician in business. I have been wearing them for 40 years and that is all I have ever used. Also to keep the frames clean again use some warm water and some sort of soap plus an old tooth brush or a new one if you like. :) |

| 678493 | 2008-06-15 10:41:00 | :lol: I use to wear glasses but now wear a glass. I had cataracts removed from both eyes, one eye the vision remained the same but the other eye returned to perfect vision unaided. What I did was took out the lens from my glasses which the good eye didn't need. I need the lens on my bad eye for when I'm on the computer and watching TV but for everything else I don't wear them. The good eye tricks the brain into thinking that my out of focus eye is alright. :) |
