Glasses can accumulate dust, dirt, and smudges throughout the day. Whether you use your eyeglasses occasionally for reading or you are wearing them all day long, it’s important that you are careful to protect the lenses.

Finish by rinsing with warm water again and dry the eyeglasses with a lint-free cloth.
