1.Mild hand soap and warm water

The easiest way of cleaning glasses is gently wiping the lenses with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. But for stubborn smudges or dirt, you can clean your blue light glasses with a mild soap or lukewarm water. (Hot water may damage the blue light coating.)

Apply a small drop of gentle hand soap or dishwashing liquid and lather the lenses. Then rinse the glasses thoroughly under running warm water, removing all soap residue. Pat the glasses dry with a dry microfiber cloth or let them air dry, making sure that there is no scratches, streaks, marks, or lint.

2.Steam

Use enough water to produce a sufficient amount of steam, and find a stable surface to place your glasses on while cleaning. Make sure it's heat-resistant. Once the water is boiling, carefully hold your blue light glasses above the steam. Be cautious not to expose them to direct contact with the boiling water.

Hold the glasses in a place where the steam can reach both sides of the lenses. The steam will help to loosen any dirt, smudges, or oils on the surface. Wait for a few seconds, remove the glasses from the steam, and then wipe the lenses with a microfiber cloth. Use gentle, circular motions to remove any residue or smudges.

Inspect the lenses to ensure they are clean. If there are still smudges or dirt remaining, repeat the process by holding the glasses above the steam again and wiping them with the cloth.

3.Lens cleaner

There are special lens cleaners available to blue light glasses. These sprays are designed to remove smudges and stains quickly without scratching the lenses. Follow the instructions of the spray and then use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe the lenses.

Useful tips for maintaining your blue light glasses

Use microfiber cloth:

Microfiber is designed to remove smudges and debris without scratching the lenses and damaging the coatings. Avoid using regular paper towels or tissues, as they can leave lint or scratch the lenses.

Avoid harsh chemicals:

Avoid using harsh chemicals, such as ammonia-based cleaners, bleach, or window cleaners, as they can damage the lens coatings or frame materials. Stick to mild, gentle cleaning solutions.

Avoid excessive pressure or rubbing:

When cleaning your blue light glasses, avoid applying excessive pressure or rubbing the lenses vigorously. This can potentially scratch or damage the lens coatings. Instead, use gentle, circular motions to clean the lenses.

Store properly:

When you're not wearing your blue light glasses, store them in a glassescase to prevent dust, scratches, or accidental damage. Avoid placing them face down on hard surfaces, as this may lead to scratches.
