OCD – Yes, I am a victim too…
My insanity isn’t always evident but the past three days I am driving myself insane and it feels like no one understands…
My glasses.. the eyeglasses I so dearly depend on.. the optical aid which makes sight possible and gives me the appearance of constant fright due to the large eyeball look I sport, is the source of my current frustration*.
I just can’t get them clean.. I have tried everything.. I am constantly taking them off, wiping them.. checking them in the light.. rewiping.. rechecking.. rewiping .. rechecking.. until I half scream, put them back on my face and try ignore the fact that I can still feel that little smudge on the corner of the lens.
Just be holding them they seem to smudge, I don’t know how, but it is almost like the smudge forms through body heat..
No one sees what I see and I am not happy.. It is frustrating me no end and I just want it to stop. Going to the optometrist this afternoon and demanding a solution even if I have to beat one out of the receptionist.
In the meantime, its wipe, check – rewipe, recheck andsoforth..
Aargh!!!!
*well, that and this word “twettering” that came to me in a dream last night I feel is important to me somehow and I cant figure out why..

Sunlight liquid and hot water is your friend. And use like half the bottle on it, give it a good clean with your fingers and then use carlton (kitchen) paper to dry it. Works the best for my OCDness with my glasses
Until recently I would have agreed with Ian. My wife recently got new glasses and our optometrist told her to use normal soap to clean the lenses but not to use dishwashing liquid or similar cleaners as they are too acid and can damage the coatings used on spectacle lenses.

This was before the professional cleaning I guess? I normally use wet wipes and that glasses cloth that comes with them. Also drive me mad when there’s a smudge and I’m blind as a bat without them.
Oh boy… you’re going to need new ones at that rate!
