How to Use Lens Wipes for Optimal Eyewear Maintenance

Written By Roda Novenario

Lens wipes are some of the most taken-for-granted eyewear accessories. They’re the best way to clean your lenses, but you know how it goes … you go out and forget to bring some wipes along, or maybe you have some but end up not bothering with them. You default to using your shirt or anything handy to clean your grimy eyeglasses.

Using lens wipes isn’t just about using cleaners that actually work. It’s also about extending the life of your eyewear. Lens coating degrades with time, dust, smudges, and fingerprints.

Tissues, paper towels, and your shirts aren’t made to clean them. They will only add to the problem and cause tiny scratches. Plus, they don’t even clean as well as lens wipes do. When you let dirt build up on your lenses, it impairs your view. You might even experience eye strain when using your eyeglasses.

Choose lens wipes for your eyeglasses. Here’s the best way to integrate wipes into your eyewear care.
