Save me from the curse of smudgy glasses

Please, I have lived more than half of my life with this issue, but nothing I do works.
I already have the handicap of poor eyesight and frankly it is an insult to have the one thing that gives me perfect vision sullied by fingerprints or dust or grime.
Post your fixes and tricks here for a suffering uni student. Thank you.

(p.s. this is totally not serious but please tell me your ways of preserving clean glasses lenses thanks :tongue:)

I mostly just clean mine on my t shirt lol :tongue:
If they're really bad, then I'll get my lens spray and cloth out...rare though!!

I clean mine with wipes and the cloths up to about 10 times a day. I'm a bit obsessed. :colondollar:
Every now and then my vision goes blurry and I have a little freak out - then I remember I need to clean my glasses.

I don't think there's anything that can be done :frown: Boots spray lens cleaner is really good though. Although I never carry it around with me.

Wiping your glasses over with a smear of washing up liquid (and polishing them until they are clear, obviously) will stop your glasses from steaming up (works on mirrors in bathrooms, too) and help keep the greasy marks at bay.
The solution is simple although can be a little expensive: contact lenses.
I normally find running them under hot water & wiping them with a cloth works. I only really use the lens cleaning spray if I've got makeup smudged on them. If I'm out & I don't have any proper cleaning stuff to hand & I notice any marks on my glasses I normally just end up wiping them on my top or skirt.

Not everyone can wear contacts though.
For me nothing except Aldi glasses wipes works.I can't live without them. I think its 99p for a box of 50, you really should try it. Sadly they only sometimes sell them as it comes in the specialbuy section.They are called eyewear glasses wipes and they come in a blue cardboard box.
