Always wet your lenses before cleaning. Use your Hook Optics lens cloth or dry them with a soft cloth. Rinse your sunglasses in the morning and evening under fresh water. If necessary, use a minimal amount of non-antibacterial dish soap to remove skin oils from the frames and lenses for a thorough clean. Dry them with your Hook Optics lens cloth.

Make it a habit to wash your sunglasses with freshwater to remove the salty grime after fishing, just like you wash down your rods. Avoid letting salt dry or dirt accumulate on your lenses. Cleaning dirty lenses without wetting them can cause scratches. Never use Windex or other cleaning products on your lenses. Stick to water, Zeiss lens wipes, or a tiny drop of non-antibacterial dish soap if lens cleaner is unavailable.
