In daily life, eyeglasses should provide the best possible visual comfort.
However, some inconveniences may be encountered such as the fogging of the lenses.
Here's what you need to do to properly clean cloudy lenses and how to prevent this kind of discomfort.
Eyeglass lenses can very easily and quickly become dirty and unfit for clear vision.
This may be due to improper handling of the optical equipment.
A pair of glasses caught by the lenses or placed glass-side down on a table can easily deteriorate.
Similarly, poor maintenance or irregular cleaning of lenses can lead to their cloudiness.
However, moisture from the ambient air or perspiration is usually the cause of the problem.
Damp outdoor conditions can cause lenses to fog up, which is one of the most common inconveniences.
Finally, external factors such as dust and pollution may also be responsible for cloudy eyeglasses.
As with any handling of your glasses, it is advisable to have clean hands beforehand.
Hand washing is therefore a good start in the lens clarification process.
The eyeglasses should first be washed in warm water.
The lenses will then be cleaned with a neutral soap.
To finish, the lenses are rinsed and wiped on both sides with a microfiber cloth.
If you lack time for such a thorough cleaning, the meticulous circular wiping of the lenses with a suitable cloth can also be quite effective.
Indeed, it is advised to avoid using a piece of clothing or a napkin to clean eyeglass lenses.
To ensure your glasses are always clean and clear and well preserved, it's essential to store them in their case whenever they're removed.
In addition, it is important to always handle glasses gently, holding them by the frame.
If the glasses are to be placed on a table for a short period of time, they should be placed on the temples, never on the lenses.
Furthermore, keep your pair away from damp rooms such as the bathroom.
Finally, do not wait until the lenses are smudged before cleaning them.
Regular and thorough cleaning of the lenses should be carried out in order to preserve the pair and avoid the kind of damage mentioned above.
Moreover, make sure you are using a clean microfiber cloth for your cleaning task, as the cloth itself must be washed regularly.
