Brilio.net - Glasses are a common tool used to help improve vision clarity. Glasses are equipped with two lenses designed for the right and left eyes. However, over time, these lenses often become dirty and stained. Dirt can come from fingerprints when holding the lenses or dust when used outdoors. In addition to correcting refractive problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, glasses also function to protect the eyes from the dangers of UV rays and excessive blue light. Beyond its main function, glasses are also part of a lifestyle, complementing the appearance with various designs and styles that can be adjusted to personal preferences.
Eyeglass lenses are also prone to scratches. These scratches usually appear when the lenses are wiped with a cloth with a rough surface, which can interfere with the comfort of wearing glasses. To overcome this problem, many people use alcohol to remove the scratches. However, if there is no alcohol at home, there are still other tricks that can be tried.

Tricks for caring for eyeglass lenses.
Taking good care of your eyeglass lenses can ensure that your glasses stay in good condition and provide optimal comfort and vision quality. Here are some tips for taking care of your eyeglass lenses:
1. Use a microfiber cloth.
Always use a soft, clean microfiber cloth to clean your eyeglass lenses. Avoid using rough cloths or tissues that can cause scratches on the lenses.

Spray a small amount of eyeglass lens cleaner onto the lenses, then use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe them clean. Avoid using tap water or saliva as they can leave stains or streaks.
3. Do not use clothing or paper.
Avoid cleaning eyeglass lenses with clothing or paper, as fibers or rough particles in these materials can damage the lens surface.
4. Store properly.
Store your glasses in a safe and clean place when not in use. Use a pouch or eyeglass case with a microfiber cloth to protect the lenses from scratches and dust.
5. Avoid direct touch.
Avoid touching the glasses lenses with your fingers directly, because oil and dirt from your hands can leave stains on the lenses. Hold the glasses by holding the frame or pinching the nose.
