Avoid Cleaning Your Glasses This Way! Dr. Mandell

[@slackmartin7610]

Finally someone that gives out correct advise. I hate when people say to use soap or alcohol to clean glasses, it DESTROYS the coating on the lenses!

[@cherylferrell6163]

And could burn your eyes as you sweat

[@misssummersalt]

Riiiight...so now tell us, oh Marty the Smarty, if someone has ALREADY destroyed the coating on their lenses by using soap etc, what's the problem with continuing to use soap to clean the lenses?

[@misssummersalt]

And furthermore, how long is that coating expected to last in the first place? Even assuming they were maintained with the utmost of care, surely the coating is not expected to last for the lifetime of the glasses?

[@slackmartin7610]

@@misssummersalt trying to belittle someone doesnt suit you. If the coating is already destroyed you can of course continue to use soap or whatever. My og comment is about preventing it in the first place lol

[@slackmartin7610]

@@misssummersalt a person normally buys new glasses every couple years or so, most coatings last around 2 years-ish. You can however send them in to get a new coating if you dont want to buy new glasses

[@RMetsy]

I work in optics and I can confirm what Dr is saying is straight up facts!

[@majourvelencianna5810]

Question, can I use antibacterial dishwash soap for my antirad glasses?

[@wiseforce7045]

There are many different types of microfiber cloths and some are a little bit scratchy so it has to be specifically a cloth meant for cleaning glasses

[@atomicus5000]

what did people do before micro-fiber cloths?

[@cute_puppy1628]

Good question

[@donnawilliams1825]

I'm guilty of all things mentioned in the video. Thank you for the knowledge, my good Dr Mandell.

[@TheRealBizWiz]

*Everyone was waiting for the microfiber cloth part.*

[@andyfisher6568]

Thank you for the regular health information and this “Minute Video” series! 😘

[@patriciabennett1819]

Perfect advice. Thank you so very much, Dr. Mandell.Kindest regards from England.

[@ineedsleep4071]

I get the washing part but what about the algae that gets stuck between the frames? 😢 (I don't wanna mess with my lens by pushing it in and out, myself)

[@user-ob5xc4jo5v]

If you rinse with only warm water the debris will not rinse off and if you use the cloth made for classes can still scratch the lense I use a small amount of dawn dish soap after rinsing and rub lightly with my fingers. Not only the debris come off but oils from finger prints too

[@aribella6913]

Thanks Doc. My glasses always end up with a scratch.

[@cute_puppy1628]

Same! 😂

[@veganconservative1109]

Actually, I've found that the coating starts to peel away after about three years even with just water and a very soft cloth. Planned obsolescence?

[@monopolizedopamine]

Mines have and all I've ever used is water and keep so many (microfiber) glasses towels i often find 2 in the same pockets lol edit: honestly i think the oils on my face are to blame since they're worn around my nose and cheek areas where they rest.

[@capcom4eva]

@@monopolizedopamineit’s the nature of the coatings. If it were embedded between layers of lenses, it might last longer

[@andrewbos8837]

I use a tiny amount of dish liquid… make sure you rinse well and a clean old t shirt to dry…. Never a problem!

[@cute_puppy1628]

T-shirt!? Everytime I've done a T-shirt my lenses always got scratched up. I use my special glasses cloth only now 😅

[@mariamilewska7779]

Thanks Dr Mendell

[@laveraharper9698]

[@wieragajdzinska1753]

Thank You Doctor..you are the best👍

[@AngelaVEdwards]

I use a laundry steamer to "refresh" my curly hair in the morning so the steamer is always in the bathroom. I use the steam as well for cleaning my glasses and the mirrors. 😇

[@curlyhairdudeify]

The steam (heat) will warp your frames, and destroy the lens coatings.

[@robochop78]

@@curlyhairdudeify 😂 no not won’t. Assume people have brains along with opposable thumbs where in we can operate a steamer, close, or far away for desired effect. 🤪

[@KingArtexerxes]

Unless you get glasses without any coatings, like I do now. 7 years 7 glasses and not a single scratch.

[@pallavikumari9509]

Class 2 completed

[@dgage1776]

I do all of that and I've only had my glasses for a week and they've scratched every single time I have cleaned them

[@monagonzalez7752]

Thank you that helps a lot. I just got my glasses yesterday and I needed to clean them but I didn’t know how to wash them and dry them safely. Thank you.❤

[@eunicereyes8188]

Baby Shampoo is the Best to clean your glasses.., you will love it!👌🏼 just one drop is enough ☝🏼

[@syl6090]

In order for that micro fabric to work is to have clean hands otherwise the oil from hands gets on the fabric and smears the lens. I think the best way is the wipes.

[@shelleysolomon2228]

You are such a sweetheart; so is yr mom

[@robochop78]

So, the scratch coating we buy is not even strong enough to handle cleaning? I’ve paid too much I think.

[@capcom4eva]

Yes, can you imagine? 😢 what if they sandwich the coating between 2 lenses? 🤔

[@robochop78]

@@capcom4eva 😂 it’s a protective coating for outer scratches. Not sure what the layer inside would do.

[@capcom4eva]

@@robochop78 my mistake, I was thinking of the plethora of other coatings, UV, blue light, AR, etc. Sorry, misread.

[@AI_admin]

I always wondered what that cloth was that came with the glasses 🙂

[@jacquelinel1618]

yeah, I wish I would’ve known this a few years ago because I feel like the vinegar and Windex I used on my glasses, took off some of the coating.

[@donnapollock]

I use a little soap and warm water to clean my glasses....I only were them when I'm working...Thank you anf God Bless you Dr. Mandell

I tried exactly that I even used a non moisturizing dish soap like it says and all my glasses were left with white spots which could be a number of things.

[@morethanill]

Just here to say I completely agree!! I use the Koala Clean kit from Amazon (it comes with little microfiber cloths & is amazing) 🤓

[@billymcfarlane1387]

HandWash microfibre cloth from time to time in your sink, or get new one, dirt on cloth will scratch glasses! Per my eye dr.

[@kristiyan95]

Ive been using liquid hand soap, and remove it with water. Works like a charm. It damages nothing.

[@danidelyon7093]

From my experience (lifelong eyeglasses), the lens wipes from Walmart optical department are the best.

[@dgage1776]

They have scratched my glasses every time I've cleaned them. Had them a week. Many scratches

[@bert1913]

[@hotwheel6663]

Great video as I just spent 500.00 on a pair. They trans lense so the cheap ones online never get them right.

[@frogprincess412]

I was an optician for ten years and I had so many people come in with glasses so scratched they could barely see through them. I asked one person how they were cleaning them and they said I'm just using Simple Green so I don't understand what happened. Well, you practically tried to melt your lenses.

Thanks papa

[@Good-DaySunshine]

I'm never getting that "optional" pay extra anti-glare junk again on my glasses....it ruined them. Saw some videos on how to take that dumb stuff off, and it did, but the optometrist should tell you that heat causes the crazing. I only wear them to drive at night so they stay in the car...where it's very hot in summer. 😢

[@gloriahuman5652]

How did you get rid of the anti glare on glasses?

[@nainarabele6409]

Yess ..thank you Doc

[@allrequiredfields]

I used dove unscented hand soap, then compressed air to dry.

[@user-sm3th7ow5w]

For over three years I have cleaned my glasses first with warm running water, Dawn power wash, rub the lenses between my fingers, rinse in warm water and dry them with the same micro fiber towel that I wash about every two weeks. Not a single scratch on either lens.

[@Randyy1]

I'm new to wearing glasses and I immediately bought a few of those little cloths at the store where I had my glasses made, they're cheap, no need to go for anything else.

[@wendythomas4930]

Wow! Never knew that one!😀

Is it okay using tissues on gucci glasses?

[@irenek2k20]

[@MrWilly-mm5rv]

I use gentle shampoo to clean my eyeglasses sir. And I have a anti-reflective coating on my glasses. So is it safe to use shampoo sir?

[@randomness051]

Do you just wash the microfibre cloth with the rest of your laundry though? How do you clean it? I just use glasses cleaning wipes/cloths

[@graygolding]

I only use ultra pure distilled water to wash my lenses because regular water can leave a residue in the crevices of frames over time. After washing and air drying I use one time use Zeiss or Kobayashi lens cleaning wipes since microfiber cloths can also harbor microscopic pieces of sand or debris which can also scratch the lenses over time.

[@florencespinelli2947]

Great

[@jannieschluter9670]

What about using dishwashing gel?
