Peeps Review: Does the Carbon Glasses Cleaner Really Beat a Microfibre Cloth?

Our verdict

Yes for the product, with care over where you buy. Peeps uses LensPen's proven carbon cleaning, brushes off grit first, cleans both sides at once and lasts about 500 cleans, and a photography magazine rated it 5 out of 5. But the NASA and optometrist claims are overblown, the money-back guarantee only covers unopened products, and the Carbon Klean store has a 1.3 Trustpilot score over non-delivery and refunds. Peeps scores 6.2 out of 10: a good gadget held back by claims and buying risk.

• Biggest drawback: overstated claims and a weak guarantee.
• Our score: 6.2 out of 10.

Pros & cons

Peeps is one of the better-proven gadgets we have reviewed from this kind of offer page. The risks are in the marketing and the buying process, not the cleaning.

How it works

Peeps is a small capsule-shaped case. At one end is a soft brush that slides out. Inside the case is a pair of tongs, like small tweezers, with a soft pad on each tip. The pads are coated with a fine carbon compound.

1. 01

   Brush away dust

   Step 1: Slide out the soft brush and sweep dust and grit off both lenses, so particles are not rubbed into the coating.

2. 02

   Pinch and wipe with the pads

   Step 2: Pull the tongs from the case, place a lens between the two carbon pads, squeeze gently and move them across the lens to lift oil and fingerprints.

3. 03

   Put it back to recharge

   Step 3: Slide the tongs back into the case, which re-coats the pads with the carbon compound for the next clean.

Why carbon cleans lenses

Carbon-based lens cleaning was popularised by LensPen for camera lenses and binoculars. The fine carbon compound on the pad absorbs skin oils and lifts them off the glass, rather than smearing them around as a dry cloth or shirt can. Because the compound is dry, there is no liquid to leave streaks. Photographers have used carbon cleaners on expensive coated lenses for years.

Why brush first

Most scratches on glasses come from rubbing grit across the lens, not from the cleaning material itself. Brushing away dust before wiping removes the particles most likely to scratch. That two-step routine is good practice whatever cleaner you use.

Why tongs

The tongs pinch the lens between two pads, so both sides are cleaned in one movement. The pads are teardrop-shaped, which helps reach corners near the frame. That is quicker than cleaning each side separately with a cloth.

How the pads recharge

When you slide the tongs back into the case, the pads brush against a reservoir of carbon compound and are re-coated. That is how one unit can last about 500 cleans. Eventually the compound runs out and the pads wear, and the unit needs replacing.

What the carbon compound is

The page calls it "molecular carbon" technology and says cleaning molecules are impregnated into the pads. In plain terms, the pads carry a very fine carbon-based powder that absorbs oils. The exact formula is proprietary. You may see a faint dark residue on a pad after cleaning, which is normal for carbon cleaners and should not transfer to the lens if the pad is used correctly.

Why dry cleaning can beat a damp wipe

Liquids dissolve oil but can leave streaks as they dry, especially if the cloth is not perfectly clean. A dry carbon pad absorbs oil without leaving a film. That is why some users find Peeps leaves lenses clearer than wipes, as one testimonial describes. For heavy grime, though, water and soap remain more thorough.

Who makes it

The page sells Peeps under the Carbon Klean name. Amateur Photographer's review and other coverage identify Peeps as a LensPen product. Coverage describes Carbon Klean as founded by two friends who built a business around carbon cleaning technology, and LensPen products have long been sold for photography.

How the offer page relates to the brand

The page our link opens is a dedicated sales page for Peeps, separate from the Carbon Klean store. Its layout, guarantees and shipping wording match many other offer pages we review. It does not say which company processes orders or ships them. That matters because the Trustpilot complaints we found are about the Carbon Klean store; the offer page may or may not use the same fulfilment.

Who it's for

Peeps suits glasses wearers who clean their lenses several times a day and are fed up with smudges, people who use their shirt because a cloth is never at hand, and anyone who wants a pocket cleaner that does not need spray. It also suits photographers and people with sunglasses, binoculars or other optics.

It is less suited to anyone who wants a no-questions refund once used, and people mainly looking to clean phone and tablet screens.

Common reasons people buy it

From the testimonials and FAQ, buyers usually want one of a few things: to stop wiping glasses on their shirt, to replace a cloth that keeps smearing, to keep a cleaner in several places, or a gift for a glasses wearer. Sunglasses wearers and photographers make up another group.

People with progressive or high-index lenses

Expensive lenses, such as progressives and high-index lenses, usually carry several coatings. Owners of these lenses have the most to lose from scratches, and the most to gain from a gentle cleaning routine. Brushing first and using light pressure matters most for them.

Children's glasses

Children's glasses get dirty constantly. Peeps is small and quick, so a parent or older child could use it, but young children may press too hard or lose it. A spare cloth in the case remains a good backup.

Office workers and screen users

People who spend the day at a screen often notice smudges more, because they are focusing at a fixed distance under steady light. A quick clean with Peeps at the desk can reduce the urge to rub your eyes or squint. It will not help with eye strain caused by long screen sessions, for which regular breaks are the main advice.

Why Peeps appeals

Dirty glasses are a constant irritation for many wearers. Cloths get dirty and spread oil around, sprays run out and are awkward to carry, and disposable wipes create waste. Peeps is small, quick and reusable, and the two-sided tongs feel clever. For about $20, it solves a daily annoyance.

The design also appeals because it feels considered. The brush tucks away, the tongs live in the case and recharge themselves, and the colours make it easy to find in a bag. Small, well-designed tools tend to get used, which is half the battle with cleaning habits.

A typical day

You get to your desk and notice a fingerprint on your lens. Rather than reaching for your shirt, you take Peeps from your pocket, brush the lenses, pinch each lens between the pads and wipe. Twenty seconds later, both lenses are clear, and you slide the tongs back into the case. At lunch, you repeat after eating. In the car, you clean your sunglasses before driving.

A typical week of ownership

By the end of the first week, most owners have a routine: a quick brush and pinch each morning, a clean after meals or after touching their face, and an occasional proper wash at the sink. The pads still look the same, because each clean uses only a little compound. The difference most people notice is not perfect glasses but fewer moments of looking through a smear, which is the real point.

Photographers and outdoor users

The Amateur Photographer reviewer struggled with dirty glasses while taking photos and found the pads cleaned really effectively, keeping it permanently in their camera bag. People who already use LensPen on cameras will find Peeps familiar.

As a gift

At $20, Peeps is a useful stocking filler for glasses wearers. The testimonials mention buying several for the office, luggage and as gifts. The multi-packs bring the price down to about $12.50 each in a pack of ten.

Drivers

Smudged sunglasses or glasses are a real nuisance when driving into low sun, as glare off oil and dust makes it harder to see. Keeping a cleaner in the car means you can clean your lenses before setting off. Never clean them while driving.

• Glasses wearers who are tired of smudges and streaks from cloths and shirts
• Photographers and outdoor users who already trust carbon lens cleaning
• Anyone who wants a pocket cleaner without sprays or disposable wipes

Who should skip it

• Buyers who want a no-quibble refund if they do not like it once opened
• Anyone uneasy about the store's delivery and refund complaints
• People who mainly need to clean phone and tablet screens, which the FAQ advises against
• Anyone happy with a clean microfibre cloth and lens spray

How much does Peeps cost, and what do you get?

Peeps costs $19.99 plus shipping for one on the offer page on 4 October 2026, with three for $49.98, five for $74.97 and ten for $124.95 including free shipping. Each cleaner combines a soft brush with carbon-coated pads on tongs that clean both sides of a lens at once, recharge in the case and last about 500 cleans. It is a LensPen product, and the same product has sold for less elsewhere.

Specifications

Peeps price and bundles

On 4 October 2026 the Peeps offer page (opens Peeps in a new tab) listed:

The page shows a countdown timer and a "50% off" banner. Amateur Photographer listed Peeps at £11.95 in the UK when it reviewed it.

What the bundle prices mean

The "retail" prices for the bundles are simply multiples of $24.99, and the "savings" percentages are calculated against them. The real comparison is the $19.99 single price against the per-unit bundle price. A ten-pack at $12.50 each only makes sense if you genuinely have ten uses for them, such as gifts for a family or an office.

Is it good value?

At $19.99 for one, Peeps is reasonable if it replaces cloths, sprays and wipes and lasts about two years. The FAQ encourages buying five or more to keep units around the home and car. For most people, one or two is plenty. Peeps and other LensPen products are also sold through other retailers, so compare prices and seller reputation before buying.

Shipping on a single unit

The page says free, fast shipping in the USA, but also that free shipping applies to qualifying offers only, and the free shipping label appears on the multi-packs. A single $19.99 unit may add shipping at checkout, which can make a three-pack look more attractive. Decide based on how many you will use, not on avoiding a shipping fee.

Cost per clean

At $19.99 for about 500 cleans, each clean costs about 4 cents. Disposable lens wipes typically cost more per use. A microfibre cloth is cheaper still but needs regular washing.

Colours and design

The images show Peeps in black, blue, purple, pink and green, with a silver-grey tong section. The page does not say whether you can choose a colour at checkout, or whether bundles come in mixed colours.

The guarantee

The FAQ says refunds require returns within 30 days, in new condition and unopened packaging, or a manufacturing defect. That means if you open it, use it and simply do not like it, you may not be entitled to a refund. That is much weaker than "if you're not 100% satisfied, you can easily return it", which the page also says.

Does Peeps work, and what does the evidence say?

Yes, the method works. Carbon cleaning has been used for years on camera lenses, binoculars and telescopes, where coatings are delicate, which is good real-world evidence that it cleans well and, used properly, is gentle. Amateur Photographer tested LensPen Peeps and gave it 5 out of 5, praising the two-sided tongs and corner-reaching pads. The main limits are its 500-clean life and grit, which must be brushed off first.

Carbon cleaning has a track record

Carbon cleaning has been used for years on camera lenses, binoculars and telescopes, where coatings are expensive and delicate. That long use by photographers is good real-world evidence that the method works and, used properly, is gentle on coatings.

A hands-on review

Amateur Photographer tested LensPen Peeps and gave it 5 out of 5, finding the carbon pads cleaned effectively, liking the two-sided tongs and the corner-reaching pad shape, and noting the main drawback that the pads last about 500 uses, roughly two years with regular use.

Coatings

Modern glasses lenses often have anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, blue-light and oil-repelling coatings. These can be damaged by grit, harsh chemicals and paper towels. The seller says its own real-world testing found Peeps cleaned effectively without damaging coatings, compared with cloths, wipes and sprays. That testing is not published. Based on carbon cleaning's track record, Peeps should be safe if you brush first and do not press hard.

Plastic versus glass lenses

Most modern glasses lenses are plastic (such as polycarbonate or high-index materials) rather than glass. Plastic lenses scratch more easily than glass without a hard coat. The FAQ says Peeps works on high-quality hard plastic or glass lenses. Very cheap uncoated plastic lenses, such as some novelty sunglasses, are softer and more easily marked by any cleaning.

What it cannot do

Peeps is for oil, fingerprints and light dust. Heavy grime, sunscreen, hairspray or dried rain spots are better removed by rinsing glasses under lukewarm water with a drop of washing-up liquid, then drying with a clean cloth. Opticians often recommend that method for a thorough clean.

What opticians usually advise

Optical professionals commonly advise rinsing glasses under lukewarm water to remove grit, using a small amount of lotion-free washing-up liquid, rinsing again and drying with a clean microfibre cloth. They warn against paper towels, tissues, clothing and household cleaners, which can scratch or strip coatings. A carbon cleaner fits into this as a handy option between washes.

Coated lenses and heat

Some anti-reflective coatings can crack if exposed to high heat, such as a hot car dashboard or very hot water. That is unrelated to Peeps but worth knowing if you are trying to protect expensive lenses.

Realistic expectations

Expect quick, streak-free cleaning of everyday smudges and fingerprints. Expect to still wash your glasses occasionally, and to replace the unit after about 500 cleans.

What a fair test would show

A fair comparison would smudge identical lenses with the same amount of skin oil and clean them with Peeps, a clean microfibre cloth, a lens wipe and a spray, then inspect them under bright light and magnification. Repeating it over hundreds of cleans would show whether coatings were affected. The seller says it did testing like this but does not publish the results, so we rely on the long track record of carbon cleaning and the independent review.

Are Peeps' claims true?

Peeps' cleaning claims hold up, but its marketing overreaches. Carbon cleaning is not new, since LensPen has sold it for years. "Same technology used by NASA and the military" and "trusted by over 100,000 leading optometrists" are unverified, and "will never scratch" depends on brushing grit off first. "Easily return it, hassle-free" conflicts with a guarantee that covers only unopened products in new condition.

"A new way to get spotless lenses"

Overstated. Carbon cleaning has existed for years through LensPen.

"Same aerospace carbon technology used by NASA and the military"

Unverified. The FAQ goes further, saying the technology is the only cleaning product used on the International Space Station and is used by HOYA, Essilor, Canon, Nikon and others. Some coverage repeats the NASA claim, but we could not verify these statements independently.

"Trusted by over 100,000 leading optometrists worldwide"

Unverifiable. The page quotes one optometrist, Dr Hunt, OD, who says patients and staff love them.

"Will never scratch or damage your lenses" and "100% safe"

Overstated. Carbon cleaning is gentle, but any cleaner can scratch a lens if grit is rubbed across it. Brushing first reduces that risk.

"Reusable for up to 500 perfect cleanings"

Plausible and consistent with an independent review.

"7 million+ units sold" and "10,000+ 5-star reviews"

Unverifiable on the page. Coverage cites a large number of ratings on a major marketplace.

"Eco-friendly, all-natural"

Partly true. It avoids disposable wipes and sprays. "All-natural" is vague for a plastic case and carbon compound.

"Easily return it, hassle-free"

Contradicted by the FAQ's terms, which require unopened packaging.

"Optometrist recommended"

Partly supported. The page quotes one optometrist, and carbon cleaning is widely accepted as gentle. A single named endorsement does not show broad professional recommendation.

Claims scorecard

Is Peeps better than a microfibre cloth or lens spray?

A clean microfibre cloth works well, but cloths pick up oil and grit and need regular washing, and many people end up using a dirty cloth or their shirt. Peeps keeps its pads protected in the case and adds a brush, so it is more consistent on the go. Sprays clean well but can leak and run out. For heavy dirt, lukewarm water and washing-up liquid is still most thorough.

Peeps vs a microfibre cloth

A clean microfibre cloth works well, but cloths pick up oil and grit and need regular washing. Many people use a dirty cloth or their shirt. Peeps keeps its pads protected in the case and adds a brush. For on-the-go cleaning, it is more consistent.

Peeps vs anti-fog and cleaning sprays

Sprays clean well and some add anti-fog properties, but they are liquids that can leak in a bag and run out. Some contain alcohol, which a few lens makers advise against for certain coatings. Peeps is dry and spill-free, which suits pockets and travel.

Peeps vs ultrasonic cleaners

Home ultrasonic cleaners use vibrations in water to clean glasses and jewellery thoroughly. They are much bulkier and cost more, and some opticians caution against ultrasonic cleaning for certain coatings and frames. Peeps is for quick everyday cleans; an ultrasonic cleaner is an occasional deep clean.

Peeps vs lens wipes

Disposable wipes clean well but create waste and dry out. Peeps is reusable for about 500 cleans.

Peeps vs the original LensPen

LensPen makes several carbon cleaning tools, including ones for cameras and glasses. Peeps is its glasses-specific design with tongs. If you already own a LensPen, you know the method.

Peeps vs keeping a spare cloth everywhere

Some people simply keep clean microfibre cloths in every bag, coat and car, and wash them weekly. That costs almost nothing and works well if you are disciplined about washing. Peeps suits people who know they will not keep cloths clean.

Peeps vs a cleaning station at an optician

Many opticians will clean your glasses for free, often with an ultrasonic bath and proper cloth, and check the fit while they are at it. That is worth doing every few months, especially for expensive lenses.

Peeps vs other gadgets we have reviewed

We have reviewed other small everyday-carry gadgets, including KeySmart, the OlumiRing clip light, the Ondrela tracker card and the Lumenology light. More are in our tech gadgets category.

If you decide on Peeps, compare today's Peeps bundles (opens Peeps in a new tab) with other retailers before you buy.

Is Peeps legit, and what should you check before buying?

The product is genuine and well reviewed, but the store is the risk. On 4 October 2026, Trustpilot showed 1.3 from 85 reviews for the Carbon Klean store, with complaints about non-delivery, missing pads and refused refunds, and the guarantee covers only unopened products. Before buying, pay by credit card for chargeback protection, buy one rather than a large bundle, and keep your order confirmation.

The guarantee covers unopened products

What to do: treat the purchase as final once opened, unless it is faulty. Buy one first rather than a large bundle.

Store reputation

On 4 October 2026, Trustpilot showed 1.3 from 85 reviews for the Carbon Klean store, with complaints of orders not arriving, automated replies, missing pads and refunds refused outside a 14-day window. The profile was unclaimed. We could not confirm whether the offer page our link opens ships from the same operation.

What to do: pay by credit card for chargeback protection, keep your order confirmation, and contact support promptly if your order does not arrive within the stated time.

Using it on screens

What to do: follow the FAQ and use it only on lenses. Use a screen cloth for phones and tablets.

Pressing too hard

What to do: brush first, then use light pressure. Grit, not carbon, is what scratches.

Replacing it

What to do: after about 500 cleans, or when the pads stop cleaning well, replace the unit.

Missing parts

One Trustpilot reviewer said their cleaners arrived with the pads missing.

What to do: check the unit as soon as it arrives, before you need it, and report any missing or faulty parts straight away, as defects are covered by the guarantee.

Multiple units and the guarantee

Large bundles are tempting at a lower per-unit price, but the guarantee covers only unopened products.

What to do: if you buy a bundle, open one unit first. If it does not suit you, the others may still be returnable unopened within 30 days.

Delivery times

The FAQ says US orders usually arrive in 3 to 5 business days after shipping within 24 to 48 hours, and international orders in 7 to 12 business days.

What to do: if your order has not arrived well after those times, contact support in writing and keep a record. If you get no response, contact your card issuer.

How to buy Peeps the smart way

1. Decide how many you really need, then go to the Peeps order page (opens Peeps in a new tab).
2. Buy one first; the guarantee covers only unopened products.
3. Check the total with shipping.
4. Pay by credit card and keep your confirmation.
5. If the order does not arrive within two weeks in the US, contact support and your card issuer.

Customs fees outside the US

The FAQ says international customers may pay customs, duties or VAT on delivery.

What to do: check your country's import rules, as fees could exceed the price of a single unit. Buying locally may be cheaper.

What do owners say, and how did we score Peeps?

Peeps scores 6.2 out of 10: claim accuracy 0.9, build and durability 1.4, price competitiveness 1.2, usability 1.8 and owner satisfaction 0.9, each out of 2. Amateur Photographer rated the product 5 out of 5, but the Carbon Klean store's Trustpilot profile shows 1.3 from 85 reviews, with 93% one-star, mostly about delivery and refunds rather than how it cleans.

Trustpilot

On 4 October 2026, the Trustpilot profile for carbonklean.com showed 1.3 out of 5 from 85 reviews, with 93% one-star. Complaints concern non-delivery months after payment, automated or no responses, missing pads and refund refusals. These are about the store and service, not the cleaning.

Making sense of a good product with a poor store rating

It is unusual to see a product with strong hands-on reviews and a very poor store rating. The likely explanation is that the cleaning works well, while the online store experienced fulfilment and support problems. For buyers, that means the main risk is not the product but receiving it and getting help if something goes wrong. Paying by credit card, buying a single unit first and acting quickly if delivery is late all reduce that risk.

What we would want to know from owners

The most useful owner feedback would cover how long delivery took and from where, whether the unit arrived complete, how the pads performed after six months, and whether it truly lasted around 500 cleans. Reports on how it handled different coatings, such as anti-reflective, blue-light filters and mirrored sunglasses, would also help. If you buy one, those details would make your review far more useful to others.

Why we score it where we do

On cleaning alone, Peeps would score well: the method is proven, the design is thoughtful and an independent hands-on review was enthusiastic. The score is pulled down by overstated marketing, a guarantee that does not match its "hassle-free" headline, and a store reputation that makes buying riskier than it should be. If those improved, with clear returns and reliable delivery, Peeps would sit comfortably in the top half of products we review.

Independent reviews

Amateur Photographer rated LensPen Peeps 5 out of 5 for cleaning. Coverage also cites a high average rating on a major marketplace from tens of thousands of reviews, though we did not verify it directly.

The testimonials on the page

The page shows four testimonials (two repeated): a buyer purchasing several more, a year of good use, a buyer who uses it on aviators and devices, and a sceptic who found no film left behind. They are selected by the seller.

How we scored Peeps

Scores follow the five criteria on our how we test page, each worth up to 2 points.

What we did, and did not, do

Nobody on our team has used Peeps. We checked the offer page our link opens, Amateur Photographer's review, coverage of Carbon Klean and the Trustpilot profile. We did not test cleaning, coating safety or pad life.

How to use Peeps for the best results

Always brush dust and grit off both sides of the lens first. Then place the lens between the pads, pinch gently and wipe in small circles from the centre outwards, using the pad tips near the frame to reach the corners. Return the tongs to the case after each use so the pads recharge, and use light pressure on rimless frames and mirrored or polarised sunglasses.

  The seller's close-up of the carbon pad

1. Brush first. Always sweep dust and grit off both sides.
2. Pinch gently. Place the lens between the pads and squeeze lightly.
3. Wipe in circles. Move the pads in small circular motions from the centre outwards.
4. Check the corners. Use the pad tips near the frame.
5. Return the tongs. Slide them back into the case after every use to recharge.
6. Wash glasses occasionally. Rinse with lukewarm water and a drop of washing-up liquid for heavy grime.
7. Replace after about 500 cleans.

Glasses with rimless or semi-rimless frames

Rimless frames have exposed lens edges and drill-mount points that can be fragile. Hold the lens gently near the mount while cleaning, and avoid twisting the frame. The tongs' light pinch suits these frames better than rubbing hard with a cloth.

Cleaning sunglasses

Mirrored and polarised sunglasses have delicate coatings. Brush carefully and use light pressure.

Cleaning binoculars and cameras

The FAQ says Peeps works on any high-quality hard plastic or glass lens. The tongs are designed for glasses, so for camera lenses a LensPen-style tool designed for cameras is easier to use.

Keeping it clean

Keep the case closed when not in use, and avoid dropping the pads on dirty surfaces. If a pad picks up grit, brush it off before using it on a lens.

When the pads wear out

Signs that the pads are nearing the end include streaks that will not clear, a pad that feels rough or has lost its shape, or cleaning that takes much longer than before. At that point, replace the unit rather than pressing harder, which risks scratching.

Where to keep one

Keep one where you most often notice smudges: in your bag, car or desk. The FAQ suggests multiple units for convenience, but one well-placed unit is enough for most people.

What else do people ask about cleaning glasses?

Most questions are about the best method and protecting coatings. For a thorough clean, rinse glasses under lukewarm water, use a drop of washing-up liquid, rinse again and dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Anti-reflective coatings can be damaged by rubbing grit across the lens, paper towels or harsh chemicals like ammonia. Smears usually come from skin oils, makeup and dirty cloths.

What is the best way to clean glasses?

Rinse under lukewarm water, use a drop of washing-up liquid, rinse again and dry with a clean microfibre cloth. For quick cleans on the go, a carbon cleaner or clean cloth works.

Can cleaning damage anti-reflective coatings?

Yes, if you rub grit across the lens, use paper towels, or use harsh chemicals like ammonia. Gentle cleaning protects coatings.

Why do my glasses always look smeared?

Skin oils, makeup and dirty cloths are common causes. Washing glasses and replacing or washing your cloth usually helps.

Do carbon lens cleaners work?

Yes. Carbon cleaners have been used on camera and optical lenses for years and are effective at removing oil and fingerprints.

Can I use my shirt to clean my glasses?

It is better not to. Clothing can carry dust and grit, and cotton fibres do not absorb oil well. Over time, this can cause fine scratches and smearing.

Should I use paper towels or tissues?

No. They contain wood fibres that can scratch lenses and coatings.

How do I stop my glasses fogging?

Fogging happens when warm, moist air meets a cold lens, for example with a face mask or coming indoors in winter. Anti-fog sprays or wipes help, as does a well-fitting mask that directs breath away from the lenses. Peeps cleans but does not prevent fogging.

How long do glasses coatings last?

With good care, anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings typically last for the life of a prescription, often two years or more. Heat, harsh chemicals and rough cleaning shorten that. If coatings start to craze or peel, ask your optician, as some lenses carry a coating warranty.

Can I clean contact lens cases or camera sensors with Peeps?

No. Peeps is designed for the outer surfaces of glasses lenses. Camera sensors need specialist tools, and contact lenses and their cases need the solutions recommended by your eye care professional.

Is it safe to use Peeps on blue-light filtering lenses?

Blue-light filtering lenses usually have a coating similar to anti-reflective coatings. The seller says Peeps is safe for all lenses, and coverage mentions blue-light glasses specifically. Brush first and use light pressure, as with any coated lens.

Should I clean the frames too?

Yes. Nose pads and the inside of the arms collect skin oil and makeup, which can transfer back to the lenses. Wipe frames with a damp cloth and a little mild soap now and then, then dry them, and your lenses will stay clean for longer between cleans, whichever cleaner you choose to use day to day.

Why do my glasses get scratched so easily?

Most scratches come from cleaning dirty lenses dry, placing glasses lens-down, or carrying them loose in a bag. A case, a brush-then-clean routine and storing them lens-up help.

How often should I clean my glasses?

Whenever they are dirty, and wash them thoroughly every day or two if you wear them all day.

Are lens wipes safe for coated lenses?

Most pre-moistened lens wipes made for glasses are designed to be safe for common coatings. Avoid household wipes, which may contain chemicals unsuitable for lenses.

Is Peeps legit?

The product is legitimate and well reviewed. The store has a poor Trustpilot record, so buy carefully.

Is Peeps worth it?

For glasses wearers who clean their lenses often, yes, at around $20. Buy one, from a seller you trust, and remember the guarantee only covers unopened products.
