Tips from Mark Victor — Cleaning eyeglasses

I wear reading glasses.  For some reason, they seem to get dirty rather often.   Oily smudges gather on the surface and are not easily cleaned by wiping with a cloth, paper towel, or tissue.  I also have an eye condition that already clouds my vision a bit;   adding dirty glasses over my eyes just makes it worse.

So, I go to the kitchen sink and wash them.

Here's what to do to remove those pesky, oily smudges:

• Run warm water and wet the glasses and your hands.
• Put a drop of dishwashing detergent on the fingers of one hand.
• Apply your wet hand with the detergent on them to the glasses and rub.  While doing this, pass the glasses and your hands under the water stream a couple of times.  (Dishwashing detergent works best with lots of water.)
•  Rinse the glasses and your hands.
•  Dry your hands first.
•  Then dry your glasses with a paper towel.  (If you use cloth make sure it's absolutely clean;  paper towel works best because it doesn't contain soap residue from the clothes washer.)
•  Put your glasses on.

 Enjoy the crystal clear vision afforded by dishwasher-detergent cleaned glasses!
