    And that fucken smudge is always the hardiest, most resilient motherfucker on the lenses. It seems to spread throughout as you try to scrub it off.

      It behaves like a pocket of air trapped under some wrap/sticker: It moves around without loosing its shape or density 😂

    tbh every time I clean my glasses from dust and stuff, I remind myself that all that dust would have ended up in my eyes. so I’m kinda glad for the extra protection

      It would not, though. I assume your glasses to have a larger surface than your eyes. Additionally, eyelash do are real good job in filtering the air in front of your eye.

      Source: was wearing glasses for 25 years before I got my eyes fixed 7 years ago.

      I work around chemicals and the thought of the lens fusing to my eye makes me never want to wear contacts. I have some, but rarely use them.

    My eyelashes are long and they transport oil from my eyelids directly onto the inside of my glasses lenses. It’s not a lot but enough to be annoying. I always have these wispy little vertical streaks on my lenses.

    I am constantly cleaning my glasses. I’d like to recommend “koala cloths”! Because those standard microfiber cloths are absolute butt & seem to just redistribute smears. Koala cloths cleans out those smudges in seconds!

    Seriously: it’s a miniscule investment, and you’ll thank me once you try it.

    I have a spray bottle with dish soap and water on my kitchen counter that I use for washing dishes … and my glasses.

    Spray the lenses, rinse, blow them dry with the help of a straw (so I don’t spit on them) Boom. Clean glasses without the need to touch the lenses.
