Dust and unsuitable cleaning products can scratch lenses or affect coatings. This routine draws on ZEISS and eyewear-care guidance for everyday spectacles. Special coatings and frame materials may require their own instructions.

1. Start with the maker's guidance for your lenses and frames. Special coatings or materials may limit the use of water or cleaners. Hold the frame securely while working.
2. If the glasses are water-safe, rinse away loose dust under gentle lukewarm running water. Avoid hot water, which can harm some coatings and frame materials.
3. When needed, use a cleaner approved for your lenses or a tiny amount of neutral, lotion-free dishwashing liquid if the manufacturer allows it. Avoid household window cleaners, bleach and harsh solvents.
4. Gently clean lenses, nose pads and temples with clean fingertips, then rinse away any cleaner thoroughly. Do not twist the frame or press hard on lenses.
5. Dry with a clean microfiber cloth designed for eyeglasses. Skip tissues, paper towels and shirt sleeves, which can carry grit or fibers that cause fine scratches.
6. Store glasses in a hard case with the lenses protected from contact. Avoid a hot car dashboard, and have loose screws or warped frames checked by an optician.
