    Sunglass wearers, how do i properly clean my lenses?

    Whats up guys, i have a pair of Oakley sunglasses (Gascans) and would like to know whats the proper way to clean them (lenses mainly,frame,etc) Here are the sunglasses:

    and the pair i have is polarized/prescription (nearsighted). I read their FAQ and it says to used the pouch provided to clean the lenses. Im just curious if i could use some soap and water to clean the glasses? I havent tried because im not sure if the lenses will get messed up if i use soap etc due to the fact the lenses are "coated". Anyone who had just "washed" theirs and no complications or knows a good way to get them clean of oils and dust please let me know. Thank you

    I've worn glasses for years and never put soap on them. I wouldn't trust soap. You also don't want to get them too wet or the hinges might rust or warp. Why not use the lens cleaner and the cloth that you got with the glasses? I always get a little spray bottle of cleaner and a soft cloth with a new pair. You can also get little disposable packets of pre-moistened lens wipes.

    i literally put green dishwashing liquid on my guccis and clean them with my index finger pad. nothing finer...

    quick rinse. soft towel or air dry.

    didnt they come with a special cloth? if not, pick one up at your local optometrist office. or cvs. and at the eye doc office they sell spray cleaner, spray once, rub clean with the soft cloth.

    Just use the cloth/bag that came with them. Thats all I ever need to clean my polarized Oakleys. It also works great on LCD screens and a ton of other electronics. I wouldn't put soap on the Oakley's though.
    Guy #1: I'd totally hit that.
    Guy #2: Dude, I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.
