Dawn has worked just fine for me. I’ve been doing that for ages. Very good advice. Very helpful video. Cheers!
Dish soap just makes the glasses feel so clean with a quick degreasing. Best method I’ve found so far
I agree!
@@DrEyeGuy can I use neutral hand soap instead?
No
@@CamiloSapag No, if you use that it will strip the protective coatings on the lenses.
Same. No method is as effective, and it keeps my microfiber cloths clean for way longer than using a spray and microfiber cloth
Definitely ++++++ for water and soap method. I am using mostly that method with my latest glasses for almost a year now and they are in perfect like-new condition.
Awesome! Thank you for commenting this!
Simple, no-nonsense good advice.
Thanks! Thanks for the comment.
Best eye doc videos on RUclips I had no idea I needed all these!
Thank you!
Thanks for the info. I wondered why my lenses were getting small scratches - it's probably because I NEVER used microfibre cloth, only tissues .. now I know it was the wood fibre content . I DON'T like coatings - they seem to be more trouble than they are worth. Good old basic plastic for me.
I have been using method #3 (dish soap) for the last 40 years and so far it's the best for the lenses. But it does not do a lot for the grease that accumulate between the lense and the frame, so when I wipe my glasses with a microfiber cloth "dry" it sometimes leaves streaks coming from the edge of the lenses, and it's very hard to get rid of them when I don't have access to water and dish soap.
dish soap is a game changer, I'm about to return this lens cleanser I just bought
I just got glasses two weeks ago (went 20 years without seeing an eye doctor), and using the approved spay just wasn't getting the job done. But the dish soap? WOW! Huge difference!
I've used the old dish soap method for over 60 years and it's the best. You can use a microfiber lens cloth as a wash cloth to thoroughly wash the lens and frame. Dry after with a dry micro lens cloth. I've always insisted on crystal clear lens once they transitioned from glass lens to plastic/polycarbonate.
Very Informative And Interesting Video...Thanks
Dawn (or whatever the equivalent is in your country for a dish-soap) is really good.
I recommend having a dedicated spray-bottle for this and just putting in a few drops for the whole bottle. That's more than enough soap in one or two mist sprays to clean your glasses, so this method is basically free.
I also like to have a little hand-squeeze air-duster on hand at home to blow off any residual drops on the lenses.
If you made the wise choice to buy glasses with a good coating on them then this won't be much of an issue as water just beads off them when they are clean. The coating is one place where I will never cheap out on glasses again.
Awesome comment! Thank you!
I purchased a pair of glasses with an A/R coating on the lenses and that A/R coating started to peel off after about 6 months. I was using the lens cleaner that I purchased from the optical store (where I purchased my glasses) and they gave me a couple of microfibre cloths. The A/R coating was a sloppy job of the lab, so the next pair of glasses I purchased w/o the A/R coating and with UV coating. I'm thinking of purchasing a pair of glasses with transition lenses with no A/R coating.
Agreed. I get a soap dermatitis using Dawn as shown in the video. This is after rinsing the glasses several times. The best way is to do as you described, which is to dilute the detergent before spraying it on your glasses.
Do you use distilled water?
@@GunterandthePenguins No, I just rinse in lukewarm tapwater. If you have a good coating on the lenses then the water will sheet off when the surface is perfectly clean - so there isn't even a need to dry the lenses themselves - just a few drops of the edges of the frame.
Distilled water would be ideal otherwise though, since it will leave no annoying streams or spots as minerals in the evaporated water gets left behind. Nice for screens and glass tables ect. also.
Thanks for a great and helpful video. I mistakenly bought Dawn Platnium dishwash liquid recently but haven't tried it - any reports if that's ok to use? Also, should the microfiber sheets be kept anywhere other than out in the open so they don't pick up particles in the air?
I was over a friend's house a few hours yesterday and their wood stove is not working properly. Eyeglass frames have a slight but noticeable smoky smell. Any other recommendations for how to safely clean smell from frames with scratch-coated lenses? My eye doc's lab tech called and recommended a very small drop of Dawn on a washcloth with lukewarm water. Fortunately, the smell is starting to fade. Thanks.
Oh wow, i just tried the dawn dish soap trick and the difference is night and day! Thats nuts! Im so glad i saw this vid! Youve got a new subscriber now xD
Awesome! So glad it worked! Thank you for subscribing!
Is "pink" Dawn ok to clean your glasses or should I just use the blue Dawn? Is there a problem with using kleenex (without the lotion) to clean glasses or should I just use that microfibre cloth? What about washing that microfibre cloth?
Sometimes I use Shaklee Basic-H (H=household). Add one to two drops of Basic-H to a quart of water in a spray bottle makes an excellent lens cleaner for your glasses. I have used this cleaning solution for glasses and many other cleaning jobs for over 15 to 20 years.
Could you tell me please will an ultrasonic cleaner harm the coatings on the lenses cheers Kev
Hi Doc are these cleaning methods also safe on transitions lenses?
thank you doc for sharing this I try to do this to my eye glasses
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the info! Can you recommend a good microfiber cleaning cloth for glasses? I think I’ve gotten some cheap ones in the past that actually scratched my lenses.
Yes, I put a link on the description for you.
Thanks so much 🤓
I'm willing to buy an ultrasonic machine. But I would like to know what brand is recommended to use. I don't want to messed up my glasses
Hi doc, great video as always. I was waiting for your TearRestore review video and wondering if you're using the TearRestore mask?
Hi! Yes, I have still been using it. Going to film a couple videos on it in the next couple of weeks.
@@DrEyeGuy Thanks doc, you're awesome. I look forward to the video. I've used TearRestore to the point where my heat packs don't heat up so much anymore. Tbh I don't know if they're helping my MGD so much but they feel nice to wear so I guess I'll order more heat packs lol. 😅
@@desiderata Wow! Good to hear you are liking it. I haven't reached that point yet, but I really do like it a lot.
Hello! I have been using the method of washing my glasses with water + soap and it definitely made my glasses look good as new! Is it bad if i do the method once a day?
No, as long as you are using the correct soap and you are drying it off correctly. Usually I tell people to do it once a week if you want to be safe.
Thank you so much for your videos. You have explained things that my eye doctor and others have not explained to me.
I was wondering if you could do a video on DoubleVision/Ghost Vision. I met someone last night who has it, and was trying to learn more.
Also can you cover macular degeneration In a future video?
Yes I can.. macular degeneration is on my list. I can do one about ghosting... I'll add that to my list. Thanks for the comment.
I have chemical sensitivity and use seventh generation unscented dish soap. Is that ok to use?
How do we have a balance between protecting our eyes with sunglasses and getting enough daylight exposure for a healthy circadian rhythm?
Thanks for this straightforward advice. If you live in the UK I believe fairy liquid is equivalent to Dawn
Thank you!
Yeah, and I have used different hand soaps since I don't have dawn and buy a different dish soap. Still worked amazingly.
I use Fairy too! It works for me!
Thanks for the love
Thank you 😄👩🏾🎨👍🏾
You're welcome! Hopefully this video can be helpful to a lot of people.
Thanks Dr, Question, when performing a daily microfiber wiping of the lenses, where on the frames thats best to hold for this task? I was cleaning my VA (Veterans Administration) prescribed metal eyeglasses with micro fiber cloth that was provided, and I was holding the frames by the temples, and they broke where the hinge meets the temple. I had the eye frames for nearly a year and a half before they broke.
I usually hold them with two fingers either at the temple or the nose bridge, I had one frame break at the point of connection of the lens holder and the frame (I have no idea how to explain it better, but basically the frames weren't full, so only the top of the lens was held in the frame, and the frame had 2 pieces, the main frame and the piece that held the lens). Learned to be more gentle with my microfiber cloth
@@atriyakoller136 thanks for reply, I plan on getting some Ray Bans and have my prescription made out for them, and I definitely don't want to break my frames again on the Ray Ban frames, or any other frames for that matter.
I using regular hand washing soap to wash the grease and sweat off except the lens surfaces, and then wiping it with a regual towel but still not touching the lenses. After that i use lens cleaning spary and microfiber towels.
is it okay to use a alcohol free wipes?
Can we use dettol soap ??
I appear to be one of the bad guys as I regularly clean my spectacles with isopropyl alcohol
(waits for the gasp of disapproval)
I do have a photochromatic treatment on my glasses but no anti glare or blue light stuff. Having done this for many years I can safely say it does not negatively affect the photochromatic functionality as far as I can tell and the glasses come out superbly clean.
My main reason for doing this is that I just happened to have a large quantity of isopropyl alcohol around because I use it in electronics projects and repairs as a degreasing agent.
I must stress though I'm no expert and and isopropyl alcohol can definitely damage certain oil-based coatings. In other words don't copy me and do what the good doctor says.
One of the bad guys. 😉
Hello sir, can I use the bar soap? Problem is that they are mostly perfumed bar soaps. I don’t have that dis whas here specifically by DAWN, but dish wash such as Ferry and Lemon scented ones are available. Must dish wash be scent free?
Plus why the BAR soap cannot be used, if it cannot? Many thanks.
It would depend on what is in the bar soap. It's possible it could leave a film on the lenses. And yes, you want to stay with scent free.
@@DrEyeGuy Many thanks sir. In local market there is Ferry available if you knew the brand. Rest all are local brands.
I think I destroyed my expensive Ray Bans with the bar soap then.
It is hard to find a good solution for cleaning where I am currently staying. Perhaps, Ferry dish wash would do the trick?
Hi doc! Is it ok to just wash it with water? I guess we have no Dawn dish soap in our country. My frame isn't plastic, is it ok to get wet? Thanks
Yes.. not sure how clean you will get it with just water. Make sure you dry it completely
Best method I've found, and I've tried most, is a clothing steamer. They are small and the $30 cost is a small price to stop the aggravation, as that thin layer of film that can be dam near impossible to get off.Though I haven't tried this method yet, for around the same price as the steamer, small sonic cleaners are supposed to work the best.
How do I clean the cleaning micro cloth??? Just throw it into the washing machine with my other clothes, or towels??? Thanks!!
Does the dawn not take off the AR coating?
Will Dawn Dish soap strip off coatings ????
Does dish soap damage polarization?
I love using Dawn on my glasses. For me, it works the best.
I have a video suggestion 😁. Will you please do a video on eye strokes? Possibly why they happen, what you’ll see/how you know you’re having one, and are they becoming more common. Just a suggestion.
Awesome suggestion. I actually have that on my list of videos, just trying to figure out how the best way to present it. Thanks for the comment!
@@DrEyeGuy I had one two years ago. I woke up & saw this large bright white/light spot with what seemed like 100’s of black spots in it. As the day progressed I started seeing shading. I could only see the bottom half of the room. I had never even heard of an eye stroke before. Anyway, I spent three days in the hospital having tons of tests and they never figured out why it happened. I have no risk factors. They told me in over 90% of eye strokes they never find the cause. Super freaky to wake up that way out of the blue.
Wow! That's crazy! With your symptoms I would have wondered if you were having a retinal detachment, but it was a stroke huh?
@@DrEyeGuy the eye doctor looked in my eye & said he could see there was a white artery. My vision started to return once they gave me a blood thinner. I still have vision distortion in my Peripheral. It’s a lot better than blindness though…
I use mika/plastic lenses and it was so easy to get mark from water drop, oil, accidentally tear drop.
How can I clean the green stuffs on my glasses frame, theyve been there for months and I cant remove them
Hey man, can i use any other soap like foam soap, from bath and body works. I’m trying to save money and even if its cheap just asking!
I would be careful...you don't want them to be scented or anything like that. You can risk destroying the coating. I would be safe and stick with the dish soap.
Bath & Body Works that place is so expensive how on earth are you saying im trying to save money youre actually wastimg money on that .
What about isopropyl alcohol?
There are opticians that advise using this.
I'm getting a new pair, and was thinking of getting an Ultrasonic cleaner to periodically clean... But I'm trying to figure out a good daily regime... I was using spray I got from my optometrists office and micro fiber cloth - although I have discovered it does have alcohol. :-/ Can't win... Was considering the peeps eyeglass cleaner, but I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews on that product. My prescription is pretty stable (I've thought about doing laser surgery, but I dunno), and I tend to have glasses for a very long period of time. Current pair is about 16 years old, but they are very scary scratched up (combination of things, but I think the big no-no was using a set of Walmart spring loaded sun clips and the lenses kept contacting the lenses of the clips looking at wear the scratches are). I had a newer pair but broke the frames. So I'm trying to find a way's to reduce wear and tear and make them last as long as possible (don't care about staying in style - yet I do like the style of many glasses). :-) Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the awesome comment. Sounds like you are doing it right for your next pair of glasses.
I saw you recommend Koala lens cleaner. Why do you recommend their cleaner and I noticed you do not recommend their micro fibre cloth, any reason?
I use a product WHOOSH that comes with its own Micro Fiber Cloth. Spray the product on one side of the cloth, wipe off with the other side. I first saw the product at the Apple Store. Now it is in all the Office Supply stores. It works great for me. I keep a small 6 ounce bottle in my car.
I used to use my shirt and it was always fine, until I had some dirt or something on it that I rubbed into the lenses and scratched it up. Been a microfiber wiper ever since.
Just takes one speck of dirt unfortunately.
I was told to use hand soap. Dish soap would be too aggressive? What to you think about ultrasonic cleaning?
I have used dish soap for years and have been fine. Ultrasonic cleaning can be great... a lot of amazon products have a lot of reviews about damaging their glasses.. so I would be careful.
@@DrEyeGuy thank you!
Be careful, some hand soap have lotion in them. I've tried this once and I ended up with cloudy and greasy lenses 😀
Zeiss lens wipes work well in a pinch.
I pre-rinse tap water from the faucet to help wash away dirt/dust from the lenses before washing them.
Dawn soap and microfiber to wash The skin on my fingers are way too rough and will scratch the lenses.
Rinse good with tap water.
Followed by spray bottle with distilled water.
At this point my hands are oil free and i don’t touch anything but the microfiber towels to dry and then remove streaks. They usually come out perfect. If they dont it because i didnt wash/rinse them good enough.
I tried as a test spraying eyeglass cleaner after wash/rinsing/ drying them and that stuff just streaked the hell out of them.
Took forever to get them streak free. Stuff is absolute crap
Great video with simple instructions. Only thing I would suggest, don't leave the water running. We are in drought conditions throughout the country. Use a clean bowl to fill with water and wash in then fill another to rinse. Can recycle the water in the toilet. Cheers!
Great tip!
@@DrEyeGuy You're Welcome. Thanks again for your tips on eye glass care.
Hmm now you have to clean the bowl twice with water!! I would say that you are wasting way more water by using a bowl!! Fuckin genius!
@@Wansoe ?? Don't know how you figure that
Is water going to corrode the screws of the glasses?
Does dawn dish soap really work to clean? I just got my first pair of designer eyeglasses I’m afraid to scratch the lenses
Yes, It works great... I use it all of the time. You just want to make sure your hands are clean, and the microfiber cloth is clean. You could check with the frame manufacturer to make sure it's ok to use and ok to use water.
@@DrEyeGuy thank you going to try it out 🙏🏾
can i use another brand of dish soap ?
Yes.. you just have be careful to avoid harmful chemicals or additives that can harm the lenses.
does dawn dish soap remove the anti coating ?
No.
I've been using it on my last 2 pairs of glasses and the coating has stayed in perfect condition, which is much better than when I was using spray and a cloth.
The lenses also get much less scratched.
I do rinse my fingers and lenses to remove debris before rubbing with soap to minimize scratches.
I just want to ask if what remedy could I use for my eyeglasses because I accidentally put an alcohol on my cloth and clean my eyeglasses with it. And now my eyeglasses is not clear at all. Need help
Oh no... did you have a coating on your glasses? It's possible the alcohol removed the coating and possibly damaged the lenses.
How do we clean the cleaning cloth & how often? Thanks.
You can machine wash your microfiber cloths, once a week if you needed to.
Do the lens cleaning spray kill germs and bacteria?
I would say most do not, as they try and avoid putting alcohol in the spray to keep from harming the coating.
what if we dont have dawn dish soap here,not even neutral dish soap
Tip: Don't wear eyeglasses when spraying deodorant or fragrance that has alcohol. Those atomized droplets are also going to destroy the AR coating.
Sir I watched your many old videos like Migraine Aura..
I have 27 year old and I suffer from last 15-16 years with migrane Aura..
I taken treatment from many doctors (like Cardiologist, gastroenterologist, & ophthalmologist)
But all of them can't understand my problem most of there given me antacid and i also get relief from few days with antaacid but Now this time is my problem increased
I saw migrane Aura twice a day ( time also increased before I see maximum 30minutes but now maximum time is 1 hour)
.
So sir please suggest me what I do..
Now my condition is worsen..
No one will be understand
(My english is pooor I hope u understand)
I understand. Wow, sorry to hear you have been suffering from this for so long. Have you seen a neurologist yet by chance? Maybe get your hormone levels checked to see if something is off balance?
@@DrEyeGuy .ok sir thanks for your advice
Today I will goto neurologist and ask to dr to test my harmone Levels,,
(Once again thanks a lot for this information)
Sir any other advises ? Please told me with this problem I just got upset with my life,, bcz no one will be perfectly understand my problem.
@@bashirkazi2099 Yeah... it can be tricky to figure out the cause. I think starting with a neurologist will be good. They will likely have some more ideas that they can test.
My grocery store only carries 1 type of lens cleaner (Quality Choice), and I just checked the ingredients. In addition to Alcohol, it's also got Water, Isopropyl, and detergent. But it says it's safe for all lenses.
wow... kuddos to you for checking the ingredients.
@@DrEyeGuy I only checked them after watching this video. I was not aware that a lens cleaner product that specifically says it's safe for all might be dangerous for lenses. :-(
What's the best way to remove dust that may stick to the lenses, so that you're not accidentally using those particles to "sand down" the lens when using a microfiber cloth? And, for those who are not in the US and have no Dawn, what exactly should we look for in a dish soap?
If you can rinse off the dust, you could either blow it off or use a 1 microfiber to lightly brush off the dust and then a different cloth when to actually clean them.
Any dish soap works well in my experience.
The best thing is to use the soft cloth in the case just that.
1 part distilled vinegar 9 parts filtered water. super safe.
I use a chamois cloth instead of microfiber.
i clean with the cloth, but it makes it smudgy
What are the best microfiber cloths to get for eyeglasses?
I put some in the description of ones that I have tried I like. The ones I mainly use are the ones we have in our office for our optical department.
1:50 Your towel dispenser needs new batteries.
Haha! Yes it does. I was wondering if somebody would comment about that.
@@DrEyeGuy I probably should _not_ have posted that, but I couldn't resist.
I've changed so many of those dang batteries ... and there's like 6 or 8 "D" batteries inside!
haha.. I get it.... When I was making the video, I got half way through recording and realized it. But... I just didn't want to take the time to replace the batteries and then record it again. So I just went with it.
ive been using my shirt at leat 2 times a day every day for more than a year and dont see a single scratch or degradation
That's amazing! Do you have shirts made of microfiber? 😉
@@DrEyeGuy no, just normal m&s school shirts. I don't keep them particularly clean either
@@matthewweinberger7023 😆 hahahahaha super eye glass cleaner 🧍♀️ man
How do you clean your microfiber? Once a day or once a week?
I clean mine once they no longer get my glasses clean.
I use the dish soap method and a microfiber cloth usually works for weeks before it starts streaking on my glasses (although occasionally one cloth won't get clean when I wash them so it streaks right from the beginning).
I hand wash them in a bucket or bowl.
Hot water (but no hotter than 140°F),
A very small amount of laundry detergent (maybe ¼ tsp). Pretty much any detergent will work but definitely no fabric softener.
Rinse very well. I fill the bucket with clean water and agitate/stir the clothes. Drain and repeat 2-4 times until there's no suds.
sheepskin natural lens chamois. apply lens cleaner / wash with dish soap, wipe with chamois, wallah, spotless.
I have my microfiber cloth in my car for my 🕶 Luckily I had Lasik and don't have to wear glasses.
Smart!
Doctor every time should do this ?
I use the soap every once in a while, not every time. I do use a microfiber cloth every time though.
@@DrEyeGuy thanks 🙏 doctor and pls can you tell me how to store my sunglasses in case or I’m display box ?
@@ironman1080 did your sunglasses come with a case? I would store them in that if you can.
@@DrEyeGuy yes it come with case but they said if it’s stay longer in the case the lens get peel I live in Asian its very hot place I live :(
@@ironman1080 oh wow, ok... yeah, I would be careful with that.
🙏♥️
I use peeps eyeglass cleaner. Which NASA uses to clean there satellites. It is a carbon fiber cleaner
I use them already
The best way is to use mosquito repellent spray. Spray the lenses with a paper towel, and wipe off the excess. It'll fill in the scratches and nicks in the lenses too.
what....?? Are you serious? I have never heard of this.
It will melt plastic.
None of these things worked
Are you sure you are dealing with smudge or dirty lenses and not coating that is coming off?
