How should I keep my glasses clean?

On a day to day basis, glasses can be cleaned with the microfiber that is typically supplied when you first purchased your glasses. Glasses can also be cleaned using mild soap (such as a dish soap) and warm water. You can also use a wet cotton or soft cloth to clean, rubbing the lenses and frames with your fingertips in a circular motion. Finally, dry the glasses gently with a chamois or a soft cotton towel in straight motion (AllAboutVision.com).
