This bestselling cleaning kit gets lenses 'crystal clear,' and it's down to $8

'No streaks, no smudges, no haze': 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 any soft fabric as a cleaning cloth in a pinch. The problem? Wiping your lenses on your T-shirt or any old fabric can worsen smudges. A better option: A high-quality glasses cleaning kit with a dedicated microfiber cleaning cloth and a cleaning solution that targets dirt and oil on lenses. The mega-popular Koala Eyeglass Lens Cleaner kit is a solid choice, and it's on sale for $8.

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 buy 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.

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 39,000 five-star fans and No. 1 bestseller status on Amazon? By being awesome, it seems.

Pros 👍

One pleased shopper said, "Made my glasses look brand new! This stuff is amazing. No smudges or lint fuzzies. Dries fast. No chemical smell. We are a family of seven, and all of us wear glasses. This is the best product I have found in a long time."

"No streaks, no smudges, no haze, better than alcohol cleaners," reported another five-star reviewer. "I have always used alcohol-based cleaners because that's what the eye doctor tells you to use. However, the alcohol cleaners always left a haze afterward. ... I am overly impressed with Koala eyeglass cleaner. Clean, clear, no haze, no smudges after using the cleaner."

"I can see!" raved a grateful shopper. "Love this cleaner. What I had from the eye doctor left smudges and took forever to get a clear view in my glasses. This product works wonderfully."

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," a savvy shopper shared. "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 wished 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.
