For
those of you who often wear glasses, this is familiar territory. The urge to
wipe your eyeglasses every few minutes is hard to ignore. The accumulation of
dirt is not just distracting -- it's downright frustrating because of the eye
strain.
If you haven't washed your glasses in months, start doing it now. Bacteria build-up isn't a joke, especially on a device you wear above your eyes. Can you imagine the level of infection?
Any chemical that falls onto your glasses, you should wash away with running water. Otherwise, you risk destroying the lenses, especially if your glasses are anti-fog.
The nose pads can also turn yellow with age. If this is the case with you, it's high time you replaced the frame. You won't have a hard time finding a new one because all optical centers throughout the country sell these.
If you don't have a microfiber cloth to wipe your glasses, you can use cotton. But do be careful not to scratch your lenses.
