How to Make Your Own Scratchless Eyeglass Cleaner

That is a lot of lenses that can get dirty and smudged with oils from the eye causing vision impairment. Finally, there is a scratch free solution.

You can buy very soft cloth that will clean your glasses for a time. You can also purchase special tissue packs which will do the job. You use one when needed and throw it away when your done. The problem with these is that they can easily scratch your high quality lenses that you cannot afford to damage.

The simple construction of your virtually scratchless eyeglass cleaner goes like this:

Simply lay a single tissue on a flat surface as shown in Figure 1 below. I used an 8 inch square facial tissue for this.

Now fold furthest edge from you to meet edge nearest you as shown in Figure 2

Next, fold right edge over to meet left edge, as shown in Figure 3.

Now fold furthest edge from you to meet edge nearest you as shown in Figure 4

Tear or cut this last fold almost through, enough to fold over each other corner to corner as shown in Fig. 5

Then simply roll together and tie with 3/4″ (approximately) elastic band as shown in Fig. 6a and 6b.

As you use both ends daily and they become soiled, you can just trim the ends 1/8 inch or less using sharp scissors on a regular basis. It should last a few weeks with a cost of less than a penny apiece. The price seems right.
