How to clean filth out of glasses?

[Pancake151]

So I wear glasses because sight just doesn’t like me, and between the frames and the lenses, there’s just grime and filth from years of use.

Does anyone have any good ways to clean the filth out, without wrecking the lenses? I’ve tried running my fingernails along the edges where the two join, but I can’t seem to get the filth that is like fully stuck in there.

If I finish sound check early, I’ll post a pic of what it looks like. It’s not chaotically filthy, but it’s just annoying to like look at the dirt and sand stuck there lol.

Look into ultrasonic cleaners. Useful for a lot of things but oddly enough, just yesterday I saw a video of someone doing it to their glasses for the same exact reason you mentioned lol.

It’s been some 15.5 years since I’ve had glasses (LASIK in 2007). My method back then was a toothpick, and then rubbing alcohol to finish cleaning. Definitely annoying. Never knew about the sonic cleaners though. Cool. I’ll be needing reading glasses soon (already need them, actually), and my distance vision is probably around 20/30 to 20/40 (recently declined a bit) so I’ll likely need regular glasses again soon. If I were single and no kids, I’d get LASIK again, but the cost is a bit much for me and my family’s current financial needs.

i'm laughing so freaking hard right now! my daughter's bane in life is dirty glasses!!!! she's like her momma and has super long eyelashes. i swear she spends more time cleaning lash streaks off her glasses than she does actually wearing them. i'm surprised she hasn't rubbed through the lenses with cleaning cloths!

and i already told her no to buying this as she reads over my shoulder.
