Cleaning 3D Vision glasses
Hi, I've got some smudges on my glasses. It doesn't really matter how much I try to clean them, I can't seem to get the coating off. How do you guys clean the glasses so that they're completely clean? Is it possible to disassemble them without breaking the shutter mechanism and somehow more thoroughly clean them?

Been wondering that myself, whats the best way and for now I have just used the dustcloth or what its called ?..The one that comes with the 3d vision glasses. I was thinking if I dare to use some type of cleaner on them as with my regular glasses I use windowcleaner and just wash it away with water and dry them with a towel but of course I cant do it with these or else it would be easy :) So let hear guys how you clean your glasses ?

Yeah, I've also used the microfiber cloth. But after accidentally touching the surface of the lenses they got some smudges on them. Using microfiber doesn't really do much else but spread it around. By now, after months and multiple accidental touches later, it's so much more pronounced - especially when holding the glasses up to a light source. There has to be some sensible way of cleaning them, right?

Alcohol cleaning wipes work really well, the moisture evaporates so no risk of breaking anything.

I use microfiber cloths for both my projector screen[spot clean]/ lenses. Moist one half of it [not wet.. moist]. Use the other half to clean. clean each side of lense individually/lightly.

I always get streaks with alcohol cleaning

Yeah, the default cloth is rubbish, throw it out. I use my wife's camera lens cloths and they work great. Just remember to only clean one side at a time, not try and do both sides like you would with normal glasses - the pressure you need to exert can 'squish' the glasses and damage them (remember they have active material sandwiched between the lenses). Most I do is breath on mine for the tiny of moisture, always does the job.

I use the same lens cleaner (alcohol?) solution that I use on my regular glasses, monitors, and smartphone. It's in a little spray bottle, and you can buy it at most optometrists for a few bucks.

I usually use the breath and t-shirt method on my DLP-Link glasses but I barely have to do that, I keep them in either sleeves or the boxes they came in ... I've heard vodka makes a great camera lens cleaner, the cheaper the vodka the better because it's filtered more. :) Whatever you do though don't use paper towels ... I've had those scratch CDs before ...
