"I'm now going to talk to you about this solution that we saw cleaning the lenses here. This solution was not created by a chemical genius, okay? This is a combination of water, soap and alcohol, and that's all that this is. That's all that they sell at your optician's office. Your optician should definitely be giving this to you when you purchase glasses. We do at this office. I would think that would just be a courtesy to our patients. But if you so desire and you can find a bottle, really it doesn't have to be any size, you can do this again with water, some soft soap and some alcohol. It's probably going to be, the ratio's probably going to be about half water, quarter alcohol and maybe just some soft soap. So just use a soft soap and nothing abrasive and then some water and some alcohol."

on 8/15/2009 I'd like to know more about the ratios of the three ingredients. "Half water, quarter alcohol and maybe just some soft soap," is what's provided but that doesn't seem to add up. I get half water, quarter alcohol, but then would expect a quarter soap (from a mathematics standpoint)but then heard "just some soft soap." A quarter soap does seem intuitively like a lot, so i get just adding a bit of soap. I guess I'm looking for more specific ratio amounts for the three ingredients.
Thanks!
