Can I use alcohol wipes on my glasses?

Occasionally. But regular use can degrade anti-reflective and hydrophobic coatings over time.

How often should you clean your glasses?

Daily for the best visibility and lens longevity. At minimum, every few days.

Not recommended. The additives can damage coatings and leave a residue.

You can't truly remove scratches. Products that claim to fill them usually degrade coatings. See your optician about replacement lenses.

Jewelry

Your eyeglasses will sparkle like the day you got them with the right cleaning technique. Here's the safe way that jewelers recommend.

1
Rinse under warm water
Hold glasses under a gentle stream of warm water to remove dust and debris that could scratch during cleaning.
2
Apply a tiny drop of dish soap
Put one small drop of Lemon Glow Dish Soap on each lens. Rub gently with your fingers on both sides.
3
Clean the nose pads and frames
Rub soap along the entire frame, nose pads, and hinges where oils and skin cells accumulate.
4
Rinse and dry
Rinse thoroughly under warm water. Shake off excess water and dry with a clean microfiber cloth.

TIPThis is the #1 optometrist-recommended method. It's better than any lens wipe or spray.
TIPLotion-free dish soap is ideal. Avoid soaps with moisturizers, which leave a film on lenses.
TIPClean glasses daily. Oils from your nose, skin, and eyelashes accumulate rapidly.

XCleaning glasses dry with a shirt or tissue, which scratches the lenses with trapped particles.
XUsing Windex or household glass cleaner, which strips lens coatings (anti-reflective, UV, blue light).
XUsing paper towels, which are made of wood fibers that scratch lens coatings.

Warm water and a single drop of lotion-free dish soap, dried with a microfiber cloth. This is what eye doctors recommend.
