It's simple to clean the sunglass, please listen to me. Wash it with clean water after wearing. Then softly wipe the water which remain in the glasses, put it in a ventilated place to blow dry. If there's some oil stain attached in the lenses, apply a little drop of liquid soap and use water to wash after it, which will be ok to get rid of it. But please pay attention that the dry cloth can not use to rub the surface of lenses to prevent from scratch and the increasing of blur area. Make sure the glasses are put in the shade and cool place other than under the blazing sun for quite a long time for the sake of deformation possibility. The resin lenses of sunglasses are not so durable, so the method of water washing is better than cloth rubbing. Thus the lenses would be clean and the scratching will be effectively avoided. To the summary, avoid hard staff to clean the surface of sunglasses and dry in the shade or absorb the water with soft cloth other than rub it directly will make sure your sunglasses' longevity of life span.

The best things to clean eyeglasses without scratching them are Soap and water. Just remember that you should not spray Windex on your glasses, and not breathe a fine mist on them and use a tissue. You can use a mild dish soap and water. Water will remove dirt and debris from your lens, without scratching your lens. Then you should make sure you don't use hot water, as it has been known to "crack" coatings in some cases. Cold or warm water should be fine. Using soap such as mild dish soap isn't going to eat away at any coatings.
