HOW TO SANITIZE YOUR GLASSES

Posted Nov 14, 2022 | Eye Health






WHY YOU SHOULD CLEAN YOUR GLASSES TO REMOVE GERMS

If the last few years have taught us anything, it's that proper sanitization is
key to warding off illness during the winter months. And while we all know how
important a role washing our hands plays in fighting off viruses, many people
forget that sanitizing their eyewear can also be a quick and easy way to help
stave off contagious illnesses. 

As much as we try to not touch our faces, touching and adjusting our glasses
often causes us to inadvertently spread harmful germs to our ears, nose, and
mouth. In fact, according to one study, researchers found that 95% of
participants' frames contained large amounts of bacteria.

While you can use alcohol or another disinfectant to “disinfect” or “sanitize”
your glasses, anything with a disinfectant, alcohol, or a high acidic material
may actually cause damage to lens coatings or frames. Instead, we recommend
cleaning your glasses with a gentle hand soap using the following steps:  





STEPS TO CLEAN YOUR GLASSES

1. First, run your glasses under warm water covering the entire frame and
lenses.

2. Use foaming or regular hand soap on your fingers to gently wipe down all
surfaces of your glasses along with the lenses.

3. Rinse your glasses under warm water and dry with a lens cloth. It’s important
not to use your shirt, a paper towel, or any abrasive materials such as
anti-bacterial wipes as they can scratch the surface of your lenses, damage the
frame, or wipe away any coatings you might have like TechShield® Blue.

When you aren’t actively wearing your glasses, place them in their case. This
will help keep them from coming into contact with other contaminated surfaces or
your hands.

Remember to always follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions to protect
your lenses and frames and it doesn’t hurt to check with your eye doctor to make
sure these steps are suitable for your lenses. These steps are a preventative
measure to help keep your glasses clean and lower your risk or exposure to
germs. You should continue to check with the CDC and your state and local health
departments for up-to-date guidelines around protecting yourself and your loved
ones.
