Glasses Care & Maintenance with
Dietz-McLean Optical

Always spray the lens with a non-corrosive cleaning solution that’s marked for use on eyeglasses. And when wiping, use clean microfiber cloths, instead of abrasive materials like paper towels or your shirt, and replace them often. A dry cloth, such as a Kimwipe, will erode the coatings from your lenses, and even a speck of dirt on microfiber can scratch a lens! To clean a dusty lens, rinse the lens to remove the dust, then apply lens cleaner and gently swirl with a clean finger, then wipe in one direction with your microfiber cloth.

Smudges are the result of grease, and require a different cleaning approach, as water won’t help clean them. Gently apply lens cleaner and swirl with a clean finger, then wipe in a single direction with a clean microfiber towel. If you wipe in multiple directions, you’ll just move the mess around the lens!

Your lenses are a crucial part of your clarity, which is why it’s important to avoid scratching or degrading any lens coatings. Always use a hard case for your glasses when you aren’t wearing them, and never throw them into your bag or purse without placing them in a case first. Also, avoid putting your glasses too close to a sink or vanity, especially when getting ready for the day, where they could potentially be exposed to corrosive chemicals.
