are optical-quality, lightweight and relatively inexpensive. They do, however need special care.
If your eyewear did not come with specific cleaning instructions, clean in the following manner:

Wash with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse clean and remove excess water with a soft
tissue or cloth. Do not use ammonia, alkaline cleaners, solvents or abrasive cleaning compounds.
DO NOT AUTOCLAVE.

You can also use a cleaning product specially formulated for use on plastic lenses.
Our "Super-Clear" is such a product.
