Overview
- An Óptica Ocelo specialist on TikTok (@optica.ocelo24) recommends cleaning lenses with a few drops of dish detergent, creating foam with fingertips, rinsing under running water, and drying with a paper tissue.
- The advice cautions that microfiber cloths accumulate dirt and grease over time, which can smear residue instead of removing it, so they are better kept for storing glasses.
- Commercial cleaning liquids are described as useful mainly when away from home, with a warning to avoid vigorous rubbing that can damage lens coatings.
- Coverage notes that grease often builds up in the frame edges and lens grooves, which can leave glasses looking dirty even after surface cleaning.
- Opticians can perform a deep clean by removing lenses to clear internal grooves and reassemble the frame, a service some shops include as part of post‑sale care.
