I highly recommend kimwipes for cleaning glasses. I keep a box handy in almost every room of the house.
- Never scratched the lens or anti-glare coating over the many years I’ve used them
- Cheap to buy in bulk
- Don’t stink of alcohol or leave streaks
- There has never been a smudge that I couldn’t clear with enough work
- Useful to clean other optics in the house (binoculars, phone camera lens, etc)
Microfiber cloth is reusable and just as good
At least for me, microfiber cloth works best when paired with a spritz of lens cleaning solution. I have had no issues using these wipes dry, so the convenience factor of not needing to carry a bottle of liquid is worth it.

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.
I’ve had glasses with a scratch and learned how to hold my head and look at screens so it doesn’t block anything
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.
I’m actually super zealous about this. I literally wash my glasses every time I will start watching tv, go to the movies or do anything with a screen generally. So I wash my glasses like minimum 3 times a day.
I’m mostly jealous about being able to lie down and watch TV without having to worry about smashing my glasses.
I got glasses in first grade, that taught me to ignore the coating of muck. But I still clean my glasses at least once a day.
Mine have a weird scuff pattern on the anti glare coating, I don’t have money so I just live with this now
Don’t go with the temptation to scrape it off with your fingernails. The surface under the coating may not be uniform.
It’s way past any sort of removal or repair at this point
I wash my glasses (soap and water) every time I shower, and I keep microfiber clothes in my bathroom, kitchen, living room, my desk, and in my truck.
~No, I don’t have a problem.~
I just recently at the age of 43 got my first pair of glasses and I try to be super careful to not get them dirty and I still have to wipe the lenses 10 times a day lol
Wash, dont wipe. You’ll scratch your lenses. Your glasses aren’t afraid of a little soap and water.
Even better than soap and water is using cleaning fluid for glasses
Those suuuuuuuuck
For real, just make your own with scouring pads and acetone. Way better at removing those pesky smudges, coatings, prescription, etc.
Are there better? The “fleets” brand leaves water spots. The Zeiss are lightweight and don’t seem to have quite enough liquid, but work reasonably well.
A good, soft, and most importantly CLEAN cotton or microfiber cloth with some isopropyl is what I use. Rinse any dirt or debris in the sink, then iso on the cloth and clean/dry. It’s not the cloth that scratches lenses, it’s the dirt and harder bits of dust that rub on the lens using the cloth.
You’ll probably be broken of that eventually, lol
since I don’t need glasses for anything under 1.2m (4ft), i watch videos on a desk chair and 4k monitor, ditched the living room setup years ago
y’all mfers need lasik.
