Therefore, you need to clean your glasses daily, and sometimes several times a day, if necessary.

Wiping glasses with improvised means - a handkerchief, a terry towel, and even the edge of clothing, leads to damage to the surface of the lenses, streaks, and a violation of the properties of refraction.
