'I can finally see!': This kit gets glasses 'crystal clear,' and it's down to $8
'No irritation to my lenses or skin': The alcohol-free formula is made in the U.S., and it's ideal for screens too, fans say.
If you wear glasses, you've probably used just about anything soft as a cleaning cloth in a pinch. The problem? Wiping your lenses on your T-shirt or any old fabric can worsen smudges and may even cause tiny scratches on your lenses. A better option: A high-quality glasses cleaning kit with a dedicated microfiber cleaning cloth and a cleaning solution that targets dirt and oil. The popular Koala Eyeglass Lens Cleaner kit is a solid choice, and it's on sale for $8. If you're looking for a practical stocking stuffer for a glasses-wearer in your life, you may have just hit the jackpot (and it'll arrive in time!).
Keep your glasses streak-free for a long time to come with this 275-spray kit, made in the U.S.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
The Koala kit is a no-brainer even at a higher price, and while this deal isn't extraordinary, it makes an already-affordable essential more affordable. More importantly, fans say it's wildly effective — and clear vision is priceless. No wonder more than 4,000 have been purchased in the past month alone.
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 it a safe choice for the whole family.
This kit is designed to clean almost anything you might put over your eyes — prescription eyewear, blue-light glasses, sunglasses, virtual reality sets, even camera lenses and devices. Many Amazon reviewers say Koala's cleaning solution is better than what they get from their ophthalmologist's office or eyewear shop. The Japanese microfiber cloth's dense weave enhances the power of this alcohol-free cleanser, they say. Plus, you're supporting a small business that makes products in small batches in New York.
What reviewers say 💬
So, how does an eyeglass cleaning kit from a small business earn over 40,000 five-star fans on Amazon? By being awesome, it seems.
Pros 👍
One pleased shopper said, "This is fantastic! A spritz to the front and back of each lens and a swirl of the cloth and my glasses were like brand new! No residue or lint left behind."
"The cleaner itself works wonders, effortlessly removing smudges and dirt from my glasses without any streaks," reported another five-star reviewer. "I love how gentle it is — no irritation to my lenses or skin. The three included microfiber clothes are soft and highly effective."
"I can finally see!" raved a grateful shopper. "I previously 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 being 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: "It really does get my glasses, phone and watch screen crystal clear. 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."
Cons 👎
Some shoppers say there's still room for improvement. "Works great to clean glasses, iPad screens as well as phone screens," shared a savvy shopper. "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 wish they were a little bigger."
"I don't give it five stars 'cause the liquid is thicker than I thought," noted another shopper. "It has to be cleaned thoroughly, but the finishing is good. I have tried other brands that are easier to use, with less viscosity."
This cleaning formula is designed to leave lenses crystal clear without alcohol, toxic chemicals, VOCs and fragrances.
