If you wear glasses, you know how dirty they can get. In my home, my tween has pricey prescription glasses (fingerprints!), my husband stashes readers in every room (grime!) and I have more sunglasses than any human should (dust!). We've all been guilty of using our T-shirts or a napkin to spiff up our specs in a pinch — that is until I spotted scratches on my most treasured shades. Argh! I realized a microfiber cloth and a high-quality spray cleaner would be safer and more effective, so I picked up a bestselling cleaner kit from Koala (which has a wild 41,000+ five-star ratings) — and I never looked back. What a difference it's made. Our glasses are as clear as the day we got them. Right now, you can (and should) grab a set on sale for just $8.
Want streak-free glasses? Keep this mega-popular kit at the ready. It includes one bottle of gentle, effective cleaner and a microfiber cloth.
Why is it a good deal? ????
Originally retailing for $9, the Koala Eyeglass Lens Cleaner kit is really a no-brainer buy, and while it just may be $1 less, it's definitely a must-buy. It's not only wildly affordable but it's wildly effective. And clear vision is priceless.
Why do I need this? ????
Koala's nontoxic, fragrance-free solution is made with ultra-purified water and contains zero VOCs (volatile organic compounds). This makes the spray a safe choice for the whole fam.
This kit is designed to clean pretty much anything you might put over your eyes — prescription eyewear, blue-light glasses, sunnies, virtual reality gear, even cameras and devices. Many Amazon reviewers say that Koala's cleaning solution is better and more affordable than what they get from their ophthalmologist's office or eyewear shop. The dense weave of the Japanese microfiber cloth only enhances the power of this alcohol-free cleanser.
Plus, when you purchase this Koala kit, you're supporting a small business that makes products with care in small batches in New York.

What reviewers say ????
So, how does an eyeglass cleaning kit from a small business earn over 41,000 five-star fans on Amazon? By being awesome, it seems.
Pros ????
One pleased shopper said, "This is the only lean cleaner I buy! ... Kowala gets those glasses clean with one to two sprays. It's effective and it protects your lenses. It doesn't scratch or mar the lenses even if you have special coatings."
"It cleans my glasses quickly with no streaks, and I'm not struggling to get off smudges," reported another five-star reviewer. "It's crystal clear and seems to keep my glasses cleaner longer than any other I've tried, and there's no strong alcohol smell!"
"I can finally see!" raved a grateful shopper. "I have used lens wipes and thought they were doing a good job cleaning my glasses. However, upon using this lens cleaner spray, I realized my glasses were not previously cleaned well. This spray and the accompanying microfiber cloth make my glasses clean, clear and streak-free."
And users don't stop with their lenses either: "I was skeptical, thinking that there was no way that a cleanser and cloth set was better than what my optometrist uses. Happily, that thinking was wrong. These are great. They make cleaning my glasses, phone and tablet faster and easier."
Cons ????
Some shoppers see room for improvement.
"Works great to clean glasses, iPad screens as well as phone screens," a savvy shopper shared. "Makes cleaning those things a cinch! Very pleased with my purchase. If I had to pick one con, it would be the size of the cloths. I wished they were a little bigger."
"It really does get my glasses, phone and watch screen crystal clear," wrote another customer. "I work in IT, so I also use the cleaner/microfiber cloths on lots of laptops and other random things that are sensitive to cleaners and cloths. They're hand washable and come out like new. There 'may' still be stains, but it works like new anyway."
