Common Mistakes That People Make When Cleaning Their Eyeglasses

Cleaning an eyeglass differs from cleaning your car's window. There are things that you should use and products that you should avoid using. The following guidelines might help you out:

  • Use soft and clean fabric or a cloth that is wiping the lens of your glasses. Avoid using a paper towel as it has a rough texture that might scratch the lens. Commonly, there is a small cloth that comes with new glasses. Keep this cloth and use this to wipe your lens. However, do not forget to keep the cloth clean too.

  • Avoid using solutions with acetone content. Acetone is a destructive chemical that might weaken the lens of your glasses. Not only the lens can be affected, but even the frame of your glasses. Invest in a better cleaning solution.

  • Do not use your saliva in cleaning your lens. If you do this, the bacteria from your mouth will transfer to the lens. Eventually, the bacteria that remains on the lens can enter through your eyes and cause infection and irritation.



Any sign of an eye problem should prompt a visit to an optometrist Oxnard, CA.
