Hi, I'm just looking for a handy tip..

My 6 year old son has recently started to wear glasses. I've never worn them so this is all pretty new to me.

My problem is as a typical 6 year old boy the lens's get covered in I don't know what! I have to keep cleaning them for him.. But its usually greasy or sticky on there..

A good huff and wipe doesn't always work when we r out and about. Is there any handy tip for cleaning yuk off the lens without damamging the lens.. Any sort of wipes?

Special cloths for dusting, glass, car cleaning etc that prevent scratching. eBay, amazon etc sell them x

If mine get grubby from make-up, hairspray etc a tiny bit of washing up liquid and warm water works.

One of my lads and my girl have to wear glasses and you can buy proper wipes for them...mine have always had them stuck up with god knows what.

They don't leave a residue like wet wipes and get all the marks off.

If you have a pound land ours sells them in there and you get about 40 in a pack

Not sure how much they are in other places but think i paid about £3 once from opticians.

Your Optician would have supplied a cloth with the glasses.

All the major supermarket and Chemist chains sell microfibre cloths, spectacle cleaning sprays, cloths and wipes.

Simple!

Be careful using anything that's not specially formulated for glasses, especially if you shower or bath with them on. Many shampoo's and shower gels can destroy the coatings on the lenses, HMAR anti reflective is particularly vulnerable to this type of damage

The cloth never worked for sticky fingers on my boys...the girl keeps hers a bit cleaner but the wipes specifically for glasses do work.

The smaller opticians tend to offer more coating types than the chains, but then they end up costing a lot more.

Asda opticans sell some very good wipes.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Run them under the tap and dry with a clean towel. Its the only thing that works for mine.

Bloody things get so dirty so fast. Obviously my sight isn't that bad because I can see every smear!

i find the white vinegar helps to make them less sticky if that makes any sense??

I use 70% alcohol wipes on mine, the ones that are used to clean the skin before receiving an injection.

You can buy special wipes to clean them as my friend at work has them. I either use them or wash mine in washing up liquid and warm water, then use a paper towel to dry them

Special wipes and a scratch proof coating helps.

Just do what I do

Go to bed in them, roll over, crush them and you get a shiny new pair within the day.

Expensive, but hey the lenses are clean

Mine are always dirty, I live a foggy life. Hehe. Think I'm 6 at heart lol

Savers do fab lens wipes and a spray less than 2 quid.

Bless him.
