    My theory is that people who often have dirty glasses have likely worn glasses for most of their lives, because neuroplasticity has kicked in and they don’t notice the smudges until it gets exceptionally bad.

      Dirt that’s that close to your eyes can also be corrected away by the second eye and your brain.

      Honestly, mine just get dirty throughout the day, even if I don’t touch them.

      You don’t realize how dirty the air is but glasses show it.

      If I don’t carry a cloth with me all the time they’ll be gunked up by the end of the day.
