SparklyUnicorn Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I read of two techniques. One involves making a paste of baking soda and then after using car polish. The other involves using a Magic Eraser. Has anyone tried either one of these? I know, just go and get new glasses. I hardly ever wear them so I'm hoping to try this before forking over for new ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechWife Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I just drop into my optician - they are happy to clean them for free. Same, here. Any optician will do it, you don't have to go back to the place where you purchased your glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I use Dawn dish detergent and warmish water and follow up with an eye glass cleaning wipe. Works wonders. But . . . do they have an anti-glare coating? That can "crack" after awhile. Even new ones can do it under certain circumstances (like being exposed to too much heat). And nothing can fix that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hm Well I've had them for over 15 years. I bought them in another state. So this really is a last ditch effort before just breaking down and getting new ones. I paid $500 for those damn things that long ago (my prescription is particularly expensive). So I guess there is no harm in trying something. Worst case it just does not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 After 15 years, odds are you may need a new prescription anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The first method sounds extremely harsh to me. I believe car polish would scratch the lenses badly. Have you thought about using Windex or something like that and then drying with a clean/soft cloth? I wondered about how to clean the displays on our laptops and I think Blair support suggested Windex, and then drying with a clean/soft cloth and that would probably work on eyeglasses too. My wife bought new eyeglasses and they gave her a kit to clean them with and she gave that to me, so now I am using that... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I wash with my fingers using Dial soap and rinse in warm water (a bath of it). So I'm never rubbing them unless they are lubricated with the soap. Then I dry them with a clean cotton towel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) I am betting there is a anti glare coating on them and when it goes bad, the lens get milky weird fog like to them. Nothing will fix that. 15 year old pair- time to get a new pair. Edited January 5, 2016 by itsheresomewhere 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in NH Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Sometimes you can have those coatings removed. DH had one stripped off his glasses a while back. I think Walmart Optical shop did it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I wouldn't use MEraser--it's microabrasion and would scratch the hell out of them, wouldn't it? But yeah, go get a new script. And negotiate--no one should pay that much for glasses. Tell the place that you found $99 glasses at JCPenney and can they match it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammyla Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I wouldn't not try either of the ways you mentioned; they would scratch them. You can purchase lens cleaner and a cloth anywhere they sell eyeglasses or as the others mentioned, pop in and ask to have them cleaned. If I didn't have a bottle on hand, I would try the dish soap. That said, 15 years is a very long time to wear the same script. Depending on where you live, you might find a less expensive option. My script is very expensive like yours, but I can get a better deal shopping around and going into one of those 1 day or 1 hour places. (They never have my script and have to send out, but I'm willing to wait for a less expensive option.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechWife Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 And negotiate--no one should pay that much for glasses. Tell the place that you found $99 glasses at JCPenney and can they match it. There are circumstances under which glasses are very expensive. I have an extremely strong prescription and $500 is a reasonable price to pay for my glasses. I just did it last month, as a matter of fact. My lenses cost far more than my frames do, it is not something I can skimp on. My glasses can never be made in the store, they must be sent off to a lab, and not all labs will make them. Additionally, I pay quite a bit more than others do for my contact lenses because they are made to order. It isn't just that places are out of stock, it's that the manufacturers do not make them until they are sold because the prescription is so strong and there is so little demand for them. I wait about ten days for contact lenses to arrive, whereas others can simply have them overnighted or walk out of the optician's with them. So yes, there are circumstances where $500 is reasonable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, yeah, it gets $$$$$ I'm right there with you! I can't imagine how heavy my glasses would be if I didn't use the lightweight material. As it is, I have to choose frames that can hold thick lenses. Back in the day, before lightweight lenses were out, I really did have glasses that were as thick as the bottom of a coke bottle. Now, with stronger lenses and the lightweight materials, my lenses are just a little bit shy of being as thick as the bottom of a bottle. I also pay for the scratch resistant treatment because I only purchase glasses every 5 years or so and I don't want to look through a scratch for that long! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanny Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 There is an "Extra" I've watched on TV when viewers in the USA are seeing commercials, about "Vertically integrated" companies (direct sellers). The name of one company selling eyeglasses direct begins with Warby. I googled it. Warby Parker. https://www.warbyparker.com/eyeglasses/women Before I had my LASIK surgeries in November 1997 I had severe Myopia and Astigmatism and my lenses were not only expensive, they were hard to make correctly. Once, after I got a new pair of eyeglasses, with a new prescription, I was having problems and called the office of my Ophthalmologist. Their message was to try them for another week or two. I did and then I went in to his office for an appointment. The Optical Centers of the lenses were *NOT* in the center... When I went back to the Optical place they told me they'd been inspected for quality control, several times. I said, well, that didn't work this time. They made the lenses again and then they were fine. I have the same pair of reading glasses I got after the LASIK surgeries, but I only use them if I sit down to read a book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the eye glass industry is basically a monopoly. Most are owned by Luxotica. There are a few super cheap options. My insurance is of course through Luxotica. It is an absolute racket though. They basically just set everything up in such a way where you get a tiny discount. The same discount they give anyone who walks in there without insurance. I bought glasses for my younger kid. He is 20/20 in one eye and 20/25 in the other. So we are talking almost no prescription at all. After the "insurance" the glasses still cost me $165. Ridiculous. I probably won't bother with the insurance when I go next time. It's pointless. They don't even include breakage protection.

SparklyUnicorn Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 I once had a very odd thing happen. For whatever bizarre reason my eye doctor ordered gas permeable lenses. I thought this meant they let more air into the lens. Uh no. These are also known as hard contacts. They are smaller and harder. I have no idea why on earth she did that. I was not even willing to try them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
