So this may not be what you were expecting - but i leave this thread wide open ---

but here is my crazy thing i never knew

so i recently started wearing glasses -- which came with this lil "eye wear" set -- comes with this lil bottle of eye glass cleaner and also a lil towel and some towelettes...

get this...dont let anyone else know


but that bottle of eye glass cleaner works GREAT to clean cds and dvds - im sitting here jamming out to a cd i havent been able to listen to in months!

and the towel works great to rub off the liquid :wink:

never ever use paper towels or tissue to clean your glasses. They are all made of wood pulp and on a microscopic level you may as well be using sand paper

use the specially designed lens cloth. they are made of a soft cotton and synthetic blend and wont scratch your lenses

most glasses have an anti reflective coating that is only a couple of microns thick. tissues and paper towls and toilet paper are abrasive enough to take that coating off

if I were to tell the ruth on the occupation thread (I wont just cause thats the way I roll) I would say that I am a laser systems and high energy optics technician. I know this stuff

also try to never touch the lens with your fingers. The oil on your fingers will actually etch in to the lens

Actually, you can fix a cd with a toothbrush and toothpaste. But theres a trick to it, and none of my friends that know how will show me 'cause they're all jerks.

Uh-oh. I sometimes cut up old t-shirts and use them as rags. That's what I clean my glasses with. I get the glasses wet and then rub soap and rinse and dry with old t-shirt cloths. I thought I was doing good because they were smooth.
