Reddit reviews Zeiss iyKJrq Pre-Moistened Lens Cleaning Wipes, Pack of 200 (4 Pack)

Do you clean your glasses everyday? I used to have this problem all the time until I started using lens wipes daily. I'm assuming you're in the UK so this might be something to try, I use ones from Costco but idk if you guys have that there. You might be able to find smaller/cheaper packs at Boots or whatever drugstore too. Make sure you wipe down the nose pads, lens, and basically every part of your glasses, and do it every day before you put them on in the morning as well as after any heavy activities where you sweat a lot. You can also use plain alcohol wipes which might be stronger at disinfecting but that might damage your glasses over time if you do it everyday, I use alcohol swabs maybe once every 2 weeks and the lens wipes every day.

I use a combination of the lens duster to get any potential bits of grit off the lens' before cleaning, then the zeiss cleaning wipes and am scratch free for over a year!

Edit: A soft cloth is fine too, just make sure to be very gentle and always use a blower first though, if there is anything nasty stuck to the lens, you'll just grind them into the lens and give them small surface scratches over time.

Get a pack of lense wipes designed for camera lenses or glasses... these are usually one use microfiber clothes with a quick drying solution (sometimes alcohol) that will clean and dry off pretty quickly and with no hassle.

I use these for cleaning everything from cinema lenses to my phone screen and have never had issues.

Had the same problem a few weeks ago. Got some cleaning wipes and gave it a good clean. Working great again. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IKGH2TI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_sZ8QCb3K6ZTS6

PS. Any oil or dust will cause problems, ever a finger print.

I assume that you just smeared the dirt instead of removing it. Just keep cleaning until everything is gone.

I usually carry these with me in my camera bag:

They are ready-to-use cleaning tissues.

Is that what you use? I'm considering buying some.

I always use these:
