Lens Wipes, Eyeglasses & Screens, Smear-Free, 26 Count x 6-Pack

Dear Amazon Friends I'm not being paid by Amazon to write this, I don't work for Opticlear either. I don't even wear glasses! Read on... If you find yourself here, a troubled-soul, with fading hope of ever getting a perfect lens wipe, then all hope is not lost. Stick the kettle on, and prepare to giggle with glee. Just like you, I also once thought that I'd never find a wipe that I'd love enough to keep purchasing it, over and over... I'm a geek at heart, I'm getting on a bit, and I buy expensive gadgets often. I take blooming good care of them. I'm the kind of freak you meet, who takes his mobile phone out of its contamination-free case, and it looks like it just left the shop! What's annoying to many is, that even 2 years on, it doesn't look a day older. Which is where this review is born from. Clean it on my shirt sleeve? Please don't use that language in front of the children...! I buy/use lots of wipes! Hang on, that's not entirely true, sorry. ** I buy/use an OCD amount of wipes ** I have tablets, phones, expensive computer screens, camera gear etc., etc. Modern touch devices are really lovely right? (No reply necessary) But the sad thing is, the freak who designed these super touch devices (or heck, even glasses/lens) also designed their vision of greatness to look pristine and clear right up to the point where we put our fingers on them. Ever sneezed on your phone screen? You're disgusting! Take yourself outside right now and have a proper talk to yourself ! I've tried lots of wipes over the years, I've even written a review about another brand on Amazon UK. UNLESS THIS Opticlear WINNING FORMULA is changed, I will not buy/try a different brand! There really is no point. Is my recommendation clear enough yet? I know - I know, a pun was inevitable. I've found a brilliant/cost effective wipe that works for all my über-cool tech gear, and hey, as I approach the age of needing correction for really close viewing, they'll also be used for glasses too in future! Who knew! The logical thinker within me (it's a curse) did pause to think. Am I qualified as a non glasses person, to be able to write an accurate review about these wipes? Please know, I've been buying these for ages now. This is not being written after a small/insignificant trail period. The truth is, when I wipe my many gadgets, they become completely as-new, and streak-free. I can easily see that there is nothing left behind. Plus, I'm wiping (in the main) a screen protector, not the glass on each device. I am therefore sure that it'll be completely fine for every application. In fact I've just wiped a pair of glasses, that hadn't been cleaned for a good while (belong to my Mother) - they removed all grime perfectly. There is no reason not to love these wipe, love their price, and how effective they are. Yes I'd gladly pay more for them too. I can now confirm without doubt, whether you have OCD with either expensive tech gadgets, glasses, or photographic equipment - these are a one size fits all solution. Since using them - I've never opened the sealed packets and had a single dry wipe. They are so well made/sealed at the factory. If you're reading this completely frustrated with that very issue, trust me, I feel your pain. If you are tired of opening a pack of 24 wipes, and having 8 you can't use, I had that t-shirt too. But not anymore. Had I not been 100% recommending these Opticlear wipes from Amazon UK, I wouldn't have taken time out of my lazy Sunday afternoon to spend 25 minutes sharing my opinions with anyone here who seriously needed new purchasing options due to frustration. If I am happy with the results, then I don't see a single reason why anyone else (with or without OCD) wouldn't be over the moon either. You'll be pleased to know you can stop reading now. Go pour that drink, and click on the add-to-basket icon. TIP: After you wipe your instrument of choice clean, rub the wipe between your fingers. When you then use your phone/gadget, etc - you won't smear it straight away! Plus, I use one side for the screen side, and turn it over and rub the rear and sides with the opposite side of the wipe. Remember I have OCD, so it may not shock you to know I rinse my hands before I use them. In my mind, there's, not an awful lot of point transferring stuff from my hands to the wipe, to then wipe the screen with it. I like chocolate digestives... All the best

The best glasses wipes I’ve found to date. They’re not too wet and clean my phone screen after my glasses. Once dry I pop them in the paper recycling.

One box of my last batch (6 boxes) were mostly dry (no obvious sign of seal faults but most were completely dry) but I've also bought many in the past with no problems, they're great for my glasses, camera screen/viewfinder/lenses, phone and computer screens, quickly cutting through finger-grease & random muck and leaving clean and clear with no streaks etc. seems safe for coatings on glasses, screens & lenses.

Excellent…probably a years supply, for peanuts !

Great to clean glasses

Came well packaged. Removes grease and grime from glasses, iPad screens etc. no residue left behind. Excellent product.

I have been wearing glasses for a few years now and decided to try lens wipes as an alternative to breathing on the lenses and then drying with a microfibre cloth. Looking around on Amazon I discovered Opticlear and thought I would give them a go. Apparently the formula was changed in 2014 and the packaging now has a red flash in the top right hand corner saying 'New Improved Formula' (this isn't shown in the photo on the Amazon web site). Well, I don't know what the formula was like before but it doesn't seem particularly good now. Most of the reviews from before 2014 are highly complimentary so it it appears to have been a backward step. The wipes do clean the glasses but they are also quite moist. As a result, they tend to leave smears behind which pretty much undermines the point of using them. I am finding that I usually have to use the microfibre cloth afterwards to get rid of the smears. So, really all the wipes are doing is saving me the trouble of breathing on the lenses before wiping them and I'm not sure that justifies the cost. Overall, I'm sure I will still use them from time to time, especially if for some reason the glasses get something on the lenses but given that I now have 155 wipes, I don't think I will be buying any more for several years.

Value for money

Bien ... Je connaissais déjà.
