I just wipe the lenses on my shirt, and blast them under a tap every so often to clean.
I’m honestly looking at getting Lasik just so I never have to deal with cleaning glasses so often.
I’ve recently started wearing sports goggles for hockey as I can’t do contacts. I feel this one a lot. The fogging up and the constant sweating on the lens is never ending…
There are anti-fog products you can buy for that but I’ve never had great results from them.
Working through some of that now but the sweating and then cleaning the sweat off is making it worse. Still need to figure out a system where cleaning them doesn’t invite the fogging after. I think if I never sweated on them I would be fine for fogging up.

There’s your solution then: play hockey as lazily as you possibly can 😛
I keep a microfiber cloth with me always and wipe the lenses 2-5 times a day.
Honestly not too much effort and they’re consistently pretty clean
I’ve just given up.
I’m curious about how some people seem to think it’s a daily task.
Is this is a dust/smog thing?

Wore glasses for almost my whole life. Never touch them with your hands, don’t splatter foods when eating, position them so your lashes don’t touch them if possible. I always keep some microfiber cloths and lens cleaning solution at my desk.
But got lasik over a year ago. Sure the dry eyes are a pain in dry weather, but it’s nicer than not having to worry about smudging my glasses. Also, even though there is some light flaring at night if my eyes are dry, it’s not as bad as when I get them with glasses that have microscratches on them.
I still notice when other people who have glasses have smudges all over them and they seem to not be bothered by it. Even I’m bother by seeing it imagining how bad everything must look. Hell, even a speck of dust annoys me while wearing glasses if it’s in the right spot.
Whomever may be reading this, I’ve recently found incredible luck with dawn dish soap.
- Run glasses and hands under water
- Put glasses to the side and lather soap on your fingers.
- Using your lathered fingers, gently apply soap to glasses
- Put glasses to the side and rinse off your hands so they’re not still soapy
- Reduce water pressure so it’s gentle, constant stream of water.
