What do you use to clean your eyewear?

I'm looking for suggestions, please.

I clean my readers and sunglasses with a microfiber cloth. 

 

I've seen a eyewear spray cleaner and a towlette-type wipe at Walgreen's.

I use a micro fiber cloth from my optometrist. It works really well

I use a cleaner I get free from Costco you buy the bottles they refill for free I have 3 of them. I also us liquid handsoapmand always use a cotton towel one of those white thin ones. I have also seen a lot of cleaning recipes on the internet but never use alcohol it will ruin your lenses coatings over time. Or darken your lenses.

I make my own cleaner (half isopropyl alcohol & half water plus a drop of dish soap), put it in a spray bottle (that used to contain cleaning solution from Lenscrafters), and wipe with a cotton handkerchief.

My lenses are all coated plastic.  I use a very soft cotton.

 

If yours are glass, you can use pretty much anything that, of course, isn't abrasive.

Soap and water and a clean paper towel just like my optometrist told me to do.

 

Windex will also work.

Vodka works great!  No strong alcohol odor.  (Well, not the strong rubbing type, lol.) 

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I only use the recommended cloths and spray cleaner from the optical shop.  A large bottle at the VA optical shop is $5, which is the cheapest price I've found.
