Foggy, smudgy glasses

Spectacles

I've been wearing spectacles for my eyesight since childhood and I've never mastered the art of keeping them clean and clear. It easily gets smudged and fuzzy even if I don't touch them at all. Last night was hit and humid and may have added to the fuzz on the glass with extra sweat, etc. How do you keep your glasses clean and clear? Any tips?

I do not wear glasses, but my husband does. I wash them with dish soap every morning and dry them carefully. They look clean all the day long.

That's an interesting idea. I should try it.

@pitstop I tried many products, but finally the dish soap is the best as it removes all the grease.

I clean my glasses every morning but sometimes they do get smudged.

I keep cleaning them every few hours. I hope there is some magic solution to this problem.

@pitstop If there is a magical solution I haven't found it.

I haven’t worn glasses in years, but when I did, I bought those small packets that contain a cloth specially damp with special glasses cleaner.

@AmbiePam I use a clean cloth or a lens cleaning spray when I'm at home.

stopped wearing glasses when I broke them very often. But I think I will have to know because of my declining eyesight.

Do you plan on getting an eye check to see if you need glasses?

@pitstop I am on Lutein for my ARMD (Age Related Macular Degeneration) While that situation has not improved but it has not gone worse. Happy that it has helped my eye sight in general which I was not expecting

I only use a microfiber cloth only, no spraying or water or anything.

It works when lightly smudged for me.

I sometimes wash my spectacles with soap and water. Then I dry with a cotton cloth. Yet now I think it has been a long time since I got a new pair (close to 6 years) so I need to have a new one. In hot and humid conditions, you might need to wash with soap and water more frequently.

I'll try that. It may get rid of the grimy smudged better.

I hand my glasses to my daughter when they start looking dirty and she cleans them for me.

That looks like an interesting way to keep them clean. My five year old daughter will probably destroy them if I give it to her.

Clean these whenever they get smudged. You can even wash these directly with water lol
