[清洁眼镜]的最佳方式.doc

[清洁眼镜]的最佳方式 Nearly 50% of Americans wear corrective glasses, according to the trade group Vision Council. And most of them are guilty of the biggest crime in lens care: Exhaling onto their lenses, then wiping the fog off with their shirt sleeves. But does this really damage your lenses? Teri Geist, an optometrist in Omaha, Neb., and chairwoman for the American Optometric Association, weighs in. 行业组织VisionCouncil提供的数据显示，接近50%的美国人佩戴用于矫正视力的眼镜。他们中的大多数人在眼镜护理过程中都犯过一个最严重的错误：对着镜片哈一口气，然后用衬衫袖子把镜片上的雾擦掉。这真的会对镜片造成损害吗？美国验光学会主席、内布拉斯加州奥马哈市的验光师盖斯特(Teri Geist)对此进行了实验。 Simple Solution 简单方法 Though there are countless products on the market claiming to wipe streaks away, the AOA recommends the most basic of options: kitchen-sink soap. The best way to clean your glasses, says Dr. Geist, is to run them under warm water and put a tiny drop of dishwashing detergent on the tip of your fingers to create a lather on the lens.

Your shirttail almost certainly carries dust, and that has the potential of scratching your lens. 她说：“很多人都用他们的衬衫下摆擦眼镜──这是最糟糕的做法！你的衬衣下摆几乎肯定沾有尘土，这可能会刮坏镜片。” Glass vs. Plastic 玻璃镜片与树脂镜片 Of the 69.1 million Americans who bought prescription spectacles last year, most purchased plastic lenses; glass has gone out of fashion as safety concerns have arisen. Unlike that hard surface, plastic is soft and can scratch easily. 去年，6,910万美国人购买了处方眼镜，其中多数都是树脂镜片；由于对安全的担忧上升，玻璃镜片已经过时。与玻璃镜片坚硬的表面不同，树脂镜片柔软而且容易被刮坏。 Once lenses are scraped up, there is no way to buff that scratch out, says Dr. Geist. Attempting to clean glasses when dry only exacerbates the problem, since a wet surface is slicker than a dry one. People breathe on their glasses then grab a Kleenex or paper towel or napkin because theyre c
