"Ok, now I am going to talk to you about if when you are cleaning your glasses, you have got a smudge on there that you just can not get off. I do not recommend this but some patient?s store their glasses in the bathroom, maybe they wear contacts and have back up glasses and they just keep them there. What tends to happen is hairspray or some sort of chemical gets on there. The best scenario is that it just got something on the lens that you can get off. The worst case scenario is you have got something on there that is going to erode the lens. Let us go with the best case scenario. What we have here is some solution, you should be able to find this solution at any opticians' office. They should have this to clean your glasses. This is to get off really tough smudges. Ok, so what you want to do, and you can to do this, you can spray it on the cloth or you can spray it on the lens, I prefer to spray it on the lens. Ok. Again, what I would do is fold the temples up and go from the interior over. So circle around the exterior and then go through the interior and once again same thing. Ok and that is for women if you have mascara and your eyelashes touch the lens you definitely want to use the solution. The solution is, I think more for something that has you know a tough stain to get out, a chemical or something like that. Ideally the cloth will work absolutely fine, if you have just your average cleaning, you do not have to, you know, grab the solution, you can just wipe them clean with the soft cloth. But if you do have something hard to get off, use the solution that will work just fine"
