Homemade Eyeglass Cleaner

Keeping your glasses clean is very important.  Dirty glasses can lead to stronger prescriptions as the dirt will make you eyes work harder to focus. My toddler son wears glasses and he gets them very dirty every day.  We probably clean his glasses at least three times a day.  He just hasn't figured out how not to touch the lenses.

We use a lot of eyeglass cleaner so I worked on making the Ultimate Homemade Eyeglass Cleaning Solution.  It is very simple to make and works great. It is safe for most coatings and very inexpensive to make. Make a mixture of 3 parts rubbing alcohol and 1 part water. Add a few drops of mild liquid dish soap. Mix well and put into a spray bottle. Spray both sides of the lens and rub clean with a clean, soft cloth. I find that a good microfiber cloth works the best.  Be careful to never use paper towels or else you can scratch your lenses.  Rinsing the glasses under the faucet first to quickly wash away excess dirt will also aid in keeping scratches away.
