Crystal clear reading glasses lenses

#1

Here's how to have very clear lenses on glasses. It definitely works good on glass lenses.

This first part helps but isn't necessary. Rub the lenses with normal material. That makes the deposits more uniform so they can be removed faster.

Dispense a piece of carton sealing tape and rub it onto a lense with the thumb. Carefully peel it off. Do it as needed on each side until the lense is as clear as desired. Crystal clear is possible.

The part-time nature of reading glasses probably makes an owner more receptive to experimenting on them, anyway, when frustrated. Thanks for providing an effective remedy, Elte.

You're welcome C C.  Thank you for your thoughts on it.  It was just like that--I was frustrated.  I had some lense cleaning solution, which was actually pretty expensive, and it was still leaving smears on the lenses. I even had tried air drying them by tiringly blowing on them very hard with pursed lips.  It was fortunate how I discovered the tape method which gives me great results with comparatively no effort.

i find new clean tissues. unscented no other additives.
misting them with warm breath adds a tiny bit of alcaline or acid, then cleaning them 1 at a time with a clean tissue on each, cleaning each lens twice.

if they appear dirty then 1st clean to remove the worst, then misting with breath,
then buffing with 3rd tissue.

trick is to use a clean part of the clean tissue on each lens.

tap water will cut enough through most common residues.

i like the tape idea. some tape glue is made from boiled down animals.
most cardboard box glue is made by boiling down animal parts... so there is no such thing as vegan cardboard boxes.

That's true about the breath fogging being helpful. I often do that in the part involving the wiping before the tape. I think it is good to have a little moisture to add some lubrication.

That reminds me of that I heard of acrylic adhesive on tape. I recall the white type glue being made from bones and other somewhat similar things. I get further reminded of the sad state of gene-based life.

isopropyl alcohol would probably work well also as it drys very quickly, though it may irreparably damage some plastic frames and plastic lenses.


there is also anti fog liquid you can buy for diving masks that may work.

i am not familiar with any brands or if they are not suited for optical lensing processes
