Cleaning your glasses can be just as important as washing your hands.

from protecting your eyes against the elements, to coming into contact with sweat and natural oils from your skin. you probably touch your glasses multiple times a day, and you might even take them off and put them down on surfaces.

It’s no surprise then, that over time, dirt, dust and grime can build up on your glasses and sunglasses.

The safest and easiest way to clean your lenses is to use optical lens cleaner.

Apply the spray to both sides of both lenses then rub your lenses with a lens cloth, wiping away the solution as you clean. Using a lens cleaner is a great option to make sure your lenses are streak-free, as there’s no need to dry them off afterwards.
