Run lukewarm water and use a few drops of dish soap and a clean finger tip to wash them under water flow. Shake dry...then dry completely with a microfiber cloth...paper towels scratch. For eyeglasses...the microfiber cloths need to be regularly degreased...I just put them in a bowl and wash by hand...otherwise they pick up lint in a washer. I use this same method to clean CDS/DVDs.

That stuff works really well on the go, although I do use the dish soap method too! *2 small bottles and one mini/travel bottle.

I have been using it for the past 2 years. In the past, I used ordinary soap and ruined several pairs of glasses. I later discovered that ordinary soap (or many other kinds of soap) contains "emollients" to make your skin soft. The emollients destroy a fine stratum of chemicals that many modern glass manufacturers incorporate in the manufacturing process. The polarized glasses and night-driving glasses with anti-reverberating properties are particularly vulnerable. More power to you!
