anyway, what I really posted this thread for is tips on keeping the lenses absolutely spotless and clean

I've been using dish soap and cool water with a microfiber cloth but its a loving hassle and usually I end up smudging them because my fabric has already absorbed some grease


is there an easier way??? can I just let them air dry or something?? are there kits??????

So I just use reading glasses, which means I never really get used to having some glass in front of my eyes.

For me one thing that made a huge difference was getting some glasses with anti-reflective coating on them. When I started using them, I felt like I could never gets them perfectly clean and was constantly annoyed. I finally figured out the real problem was that small reflections from my eyes or skin were making a "haze" on the inside of the glasses that felt like dirty glasses. Buying a decent pair of non-prescription readers with anti-reflection made a huge difference.


But also if you have a small microfiber cloth that came free with the glasses, throw that poo poo out and get a couple big ones. The microfiber will pick up skin oil from your fingers when you use it. So after using it a few times they're dirty and suck.

My whole family wears glasses but I have 20/20 vision in my mid 30s because I'm a GENETIC FREAK and I'm NOT NORMAL

I'm just better I guess

Same, but hot tip when you're in the drugstore some time check out the rack of cheapo reading glasses. You might be like me and have 20/20 distance but then put on a pair of +1.50 and say "oh hey I can focus on things inside arm-length much easier".

Probably followed by "oh those headaches were actually bad eyestrain".
