Q. What is the best way to clean spectacle lenses?


A. Using a recommended optical spray and a micro-fibre cloth is the safest way to clean your optical lenses, NEVER use METHYLATED SPIRITS or ACETONE as this will damage the lenses causing some materials such as POLYCARBONATE lenses to crack and damage the lens completely. NEVER use hot or warm water on lenses especially lenses which have a Anti-reflective coating as this will cause the coating to craze and at times become bad enough to affect your vision through the lens.
