How to clean build-up from eyeglasses?

Question

My eyeglasses are clear plastic frames that fully surround the lenses. In between the frames and lenses, dirt/hairs/other small particles are getting trapped and starting to build up (sorry if it sounds gross!). Because I bought my frames off of E-Bay, the optical that did my lenses cannot replace my frames if they get damaged while popping the lenses out. They say that my frames would have to be heated up slightly to pop out the lenses. If the frames crack during the heating, they are not responsible. Is there anything I can do, or do I have to wait until I need new lenses (I'm keeping the frames as long as possible cuz they're designer and I really like them!)?

Answer 1

Use an ultra-sonic jewelery cleaner, sometimes they sell it as a denture cleaner. You put in some cleaning solution and the glasses and it just vibrates all the gunk out. They sell them in all the drug stores and K-Mart, Wal-mart, etc for around $10. It won't get it all out, but it will help.

Answer 2

The best thing for your glasses woud be to go to a comp usa-type-store... ( or maybe just a walmart) and buy the special towel and spray that you would use to clean an lcd screen ( computer sreen)

your lenses will last longer that way
