How do you clean your glasses and the microfiber cloth used to clean your glasses? (lemmy.ml)

I have been cleaning my glasses using bathroom tissue as I had thought it was softer than microfiber cloth, but apparently that's not true.

I don't want to use microfiber cloth as it can easily accommodate in silica or any other dust particles if not cleaned properly which will scratch my glass. I don't know what to do in this case. So, how do you clean your glasses?

To the horror and disgust of my optometrist I wash my glasses in the shower daily. I've been doing so for decades.

Do you just wear them in? Kinda leave them on all the time, and just let the soap and shampoo do its job?

No, I put soap on my hands and rub the glasses, then rinse under the shower and put them on the ledge.

After the shower I have a hand towel that is only used to dry my glasses which I use to pat the excess water.

Good as new.

What the actual fuck?!

First I was horrified. Now I'm going to try this in a few minutes!
