To people who wear glasses , does the microfiber cloth that comes with when you buy the glasses EVER clean your glasses??

I did wear glasses for a few months but I got annoyed with them so I just don't wear them. The cloth I got indeed never cleaned them well. There are some cheap alcohol wipes you can buy which will actually clean them. It looks like this so get those.

Buy "MagicFiber" cleaning cloths online. Best thing ever. I got mine from Amazon. They are indeed like magic. No spray needed. Worth the money. Cleaning your glasses won't be a pain in your culo anymore.

Haven't used glasses in a long time, but yeah, it worked fine, specailly if I also used some cleaning liquid along with it. I use a similar one for cleaning my screens.

mine would just get dirtier and dirtier and i really just got annoyed of it. id recommend buying them externally, somewhere off amazon or other stores.

contacts are a pain in the butt as well to use in their own way. i wish i could get lasik surgery lol

I've worn glasses since childhood.

My nan taught me to use a teeny teeny drop of washing up liquid, and rub it in with my fingers. Then rinse with very hot water, so hot that they air dry within a minute or two.

Works fine for me.

Cleans not only the lenses but also the bits that touch my face.

My boyfriend had some dirt on his glasses that he could not for the life of him get rid of, not even detergent did the job by itself.
He tried so many things, I ended up taking rubbing alcohol and mixing it with dawn dish soap, pretty much half of each, perhaps a bit more alcohol than soap.
I rubbed it all over with my finger first to spread it around on the glass, then scrubbed it gently with a q-tip to get into little tight places, then I took my soft shirt and kept rubbing until the glasses were dry.

They became clearer than they had been in months.
I hope this helps.

I get these little microfiber cloths at the optical stores in Walmart. They are cheap and work so freaking well. Even after years and going through the wash, they work better than anything else I've tried. The only time I ever have to buy more is if I lose one. No clue what brand or anything, but they're the only ones they sell so it doesn't matter. They usually have fun patterns.

I've always hated wearing glasses. I'd jump up a point or two in attractiveness if I didn't need them and they limit my peripheral vision. I didn't start wearing mine until I was 17 but was first prescribed at 10. I've never tried contacts because I couldn't afford them and they sound like too much hassle.

The microfiber cloth that comes with them are useless. I just get them "clean enough" by just wiping them on my shirt.

I just lose mine immediately then proceed to scratch them up with my shirt. But when I find one it works okay
