Eyeglasses Lens Cleaner

I have sensitive eyes and the alcohol in eyeglass cleaner seems to linger on my glasses and creates some type of reaction that really iritates my eyes. I've tried Bausch & Lomb Sightsavers and Flents ... both were irritating. I'm contemplating trying a contact lens solution as an eyeglass cleaner. Any suggestions?

If you are having problems with prepared eyeglass cleaning solutions, the best thing for cleaning glasses is simply soap and water. You can use a dish washing type liquid soap that cuts oils. Just hold your eyeglasses under the faucet long enough to get the lens surfaces wet. Then take a small amount of soap and rub the front and back surfaces of the lenses between your thumb and other fingers. Then just rinse it off. Make sure and dry the lenses with a cotton type towel the consistency of a baby diaper. Best to just use a cotton baby diaper.

The best way to clean plastic eyeglass lenses is to first buff the lenses with lemon dusting cleaner, which helps to fill in the cracks, and then ...

Is that possible? Or would that damage my eyeglass lenses? I do not have the solution for cleaning the eyeglass lens, that's why I'm thinking of the contact lens solution as an alternative. Experts.. help please!

The best thing for cleaning eyeglasses is simply rubbing alcohol. You can put it in a spray bottle if you like. That is what a lot of optical facilites use. It actually cleans better than lens cleaner! Make sure to use a soft cloth so you don't scratch the lenses.

I have a few scratches on the screen of my PDA, and want to get rid of them! I thought a eyeglass lens cleaner would do the trick... Will it work without damaging the PDA's screen? Any advice or free alternatives is welcome.

The lens cleaner won't hurt at all. It's what you use it with that you will need to be careful about. Use one of those lens cleaner cloths.

will lens cleaner work for cleaning pickups on my fender stratocaster?????

I suppose so, yes.
You can clean the outside of a strat pickup with just about anything really. Armor-All would work...
It's just plastic. Avoid Alcohol based cleaners though. Alcohol can mess up plastic sometimes.
you can use many types of mild cleaners on the plastic. Just make sure to apply it to the cloth and then wipe down the pickups to avoid moisture seepage.

You can buy a bottle of Fender guitar polish for $4-5 bucks....I'd just buy something like that.

Or you can just use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution.

Just make sure to dry it thoroughly afterward to protect the pickguard hardware.
