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 dish 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.
Rinse off glasses
I only really clean my glasses once a month ish. Maybe twice. Of course if I smear my glasses or it’s an eventful week, I clean as needed. That’s just how often I clean them.
I have a box of a few hundred disposable glasses cleaning wipes I just stuff everywhere. Was like $20 on Amazon and my best purchase ever. Been using it for months. Life changing.
The problem is you wanna wash off any potential grit with running water before cleaning your glasses, otherwise those wipes will still scratch them. I never use glasses cleaning wipes for that reason.
I mean sure if you’re covered in mud or something. For general wear and use? Most people aren’t getting grit or sand or heavy dirt particles on their glasses. They’re just getting smudges and water spots and tiny hairs or eye dust.
You’d be surprised, if you’re anywhere near a road regularly or live in a city you’re bound to pick up fine dust on your glasses. It may not make much of a difference in the short term but preventing grit scratches makes your glasses last much longer in my experience.
I got some from Costco. Fantastic purchase. I’ve been wearing glasses daily for less than a year at this point and feel dread when I don’t have one of these wipes handy and need to clean them
I picked up this trick from a reddit comments years ago and it’s a godsend, perfectly clean smudge-free glasses, and they last longer as you’re less likely to scratch them.
i’ve had glasses for a little over a year now and this is what i too have been doing since beginning. i thought it would be bad for the lenses and remove the coating but kept on doing it anyway and they are totally fine. i keep a soft cloth in my pocket for little smudges though.

This is the way, with a nice microfiber towel to dry.
It’s also hard to do on the go and when I’m lazy.
If you use a nice smooth stream of water it’ll leave the lenses spotless. If you’re doing it right you only need to dry the frames.
