The fastest way to ruin a good pair of blue light glasses is cleaning them wrong, wiping dry lenses on your shirt, using paper towels, or reaching for a harsh household cleaner. All of those scratch lenses and strip coatings over time. Here's the right way to clean and care for your glasses so they stay clear.
The right way to clean them
- Rinse first. Run the lenses under lukewarm water to wash away dust and grit, this is the step that prevents scratches, since wiping dry particles drags them across the lens.
- Add a little mild cleaner. A single drop of lotion-free dish soap rubbed gently with your fingertips, or a dedicated lens spray, cuts oils and smudges.
- Dry with a clean microfiber cloth. Microfiber is lens-safe. Dry gently, don't grind.
- Air-dry or shake off excess before the microfiber if they're very wet.
What to avoid
- Your shirt, paper towels, or tissues. They're abrasive and full of fibers that scratch lenses and wear down coatings.
- Dry-wiping. Wiping dust off a dry lens is the number-one cause of fine scratches. Always rinse first.
- Harsh cleaners. Window cleaner, alcohol, ammonia, and acetone can strip lens coatings. Stick to mild soap or lens spray.
- Hot water. Very hot water can damage some coatings, use lukewarm.
Care that makes them last
- Use a case. Store them in a hard case when not in use, not face-down on a desk.
- Two hands on, two hands off. Removing glasses with one hand bends the frame over time.
- Keep them out of the heat. Don't leave them on a hot dashboard, heat can warp frames and harm coatings.
- Clean regularly. A quick rinse-and-microfiber daily keeps smudges from building up (and stops you from dry-wiping out of frustration).
