whats the best way to clean eye-glasses?

please, can you recommend a great commercial eye-glasses solution (liquid)? perhaps a homemade concoction?

btw, i've tried many a time to purchase contact lenses in the Korea yet to no avail...been told something 'bout bifocals that cannot be made into contact lenses or whatever...don't buy it but hey, i look so cool in my shades if they're glimmering clean you know? Cool

wash the lenses with soap, rinse really well until the soap is obviously gone and pat them dry with a tissue. Don't wipe them with the tissue, you'll scratch the lenses after a while and tissues have stuff in them.

peace there...tried that but the after film is a pain to clean if not wiped...and, yes, my designer Calvin Klein progressive inside transparent/outside shades eye-glasses are slightly scarred from wiping! Crying or Very sad

I found the best way to deal with my glasses was to get corrective laser eye surgery. Wink

i looked into that but was told that it would be too dangerous for my type of sensitive eyes... Shocked

If you can't get proper lens cleaner, dilute Windex window cleaner with water (about 50/50) and use paper towels, wiping in a circular motion. They aren't available here, but Bounty brand paper towels seem to work really well.
