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.
