Some news about him:
Just two years later, on February 2, 2010, McQueen's mother died. One day before her funeral, on February 11, 2010, McQueen was found dead in his Mayfair, London apartment. The cause of death was determined to be suicide.
Four other charities – the Terrence Higgins Trust, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, the London Buddhist Centre and the Blue Cross animal welfare charity in Oxfordshire -– also received £100,000 each.

The wedding dress worn by Dutchess of Cambridge is from Alexander McQueen's fashion house.

Being near sighted in modern times

Honestly speaking, I would not tell a lot of differences between my very old lens and my brand new lens except I will have to use special microfiber wipes to clean my new lens which are labelled as super scratch resistant and super anti-reflection. In this way, I will have to admit that I miss those old days when I used my very old lens and cleaned them simply with a piece of cloth. It is not necessarily a goal to evolve everything into something more complicated which is more resource consuming, isnot it? 

In short, keep the following in mind when cleaning glasses:

• Never clean lenses "dry".  Always use a liquid.
• The only liquids that should be used are water, or a liquid designed specifically for lenses (available at most optical stores). Most other liquids are too corrosive over the long term.
• The only "safe" material for wiping is a micro-fiber cloth. Tissues, paper towel, and clothing are not recommended.
• Buy glasses with a scratch resistant coating (and water repellent coating if possible)
• The best way to clean is with water (not hot) and mild dish soap, gently rubbing between your fingers if necessary.  Drip dry if glasses have a water-repellent coating, otherwise use a clean micro-fiber cloth.

If all the means above are infeasible , the last resort which tends to be the final solution is to use glasses wipes, another new commodity.
