【雙語閱讀】清潔眼鏡的最佳方式.

　　有數(shù)據(jù)顯示，接近50%的美國(guó)人佩戴用于矯正視力的眼鏡。他們中的大多數(shù)人在眼鏡護(hù)理過程中都犯過一個(gè)最嚴(yán)重的錯(cuò)誤：對(duì)著鏡片哈一口氣，然后用襯衫袖子把鏡片上的霧擦掉。這樣只會(huì)對(duì)鏡片造成損害。

　　Nearly 50% of Americans wear corrective glasses, according to the trade group Vision Council. And most of them are guilty of the biggest crime in lens care: Exhaling onto their lenses, then wiping the fog off with their shirt sleeves. But does this really damage your lenses? Teri Geist, an optometrist in Omaha, Neb., and chairwoman for the American Optometric Association, weighs in.

　　行業(yè)組織VisionCouncil提供的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，接近 50%的美國(guó)人佩戴用于矯正視力的眼鏡。他們中的大多數(shù)人在眼鏡護(hù)理過程中都犯過一個(gè)最嚴(yán)重的錯(cuò)誤：對(duì)著鏡片哈一口氣，然后用襯衫袖子把鏡片上的霧擦掉。這真的會(huì)對(duì)鏡片造成損害嗎?美國(guó)驗(yàn)光學(xué)會(huì)主席、內(nèi)布拉斯加州奧馬哈市的驗(yàn)光師蓋斯特(Teri Geist)對(duì)此進(jìn)行了實(shí)驗(yàn)。

　　Simple Solution

　　簡(jiǎn)單方法

　　Though there are countless products on the market claiming to wipe streaks away, the AOA recommends the most basic of options: kitchen-sink soap. The best way to clean your glasses, says Dr. Geist, is to run them under warm water and put a tiny drop of dishwashing detergent on the tip of your fingers to create a lather on the lens. Then rinse with warm water, and dry with a clean, soft cotton cloth.

　　盡管市場(chǎng)上有無數(shù)產(chǎn)品聲稱可以擦掉眼鏡鏡片上的污痕，但美國(guó)驗(yàn)光學(xué)會(huì)(American Optometric Association)推薦的是最基本的選擇：廚房洗潔精。美國(guó)驗(yàn)光學(xué)會(huì)主席蓋斯特(Teri Geist)稱，清潔眼鏡的最佳方式是將其在溫水下沖洗，在指尖滴一小滴洗潔精，在鏡片上打出泡沫，然后用溫水洗凈，并用干凈柔軟的棉布擦干。

　　&aposEveryone uses their shirt cloth─worst thing!&apos she says. &aposYour shirttail almost certainly carries dust, and that has the potential of scratching your lens.&apos

　　她說：“很多人都用他們的襯衫下擺擦眼鏡──這是最糟糕的做法!你的襯衣下擺幾乎肯定沾有塵土，這可能會(huì)刮壞鏡片。”

　　Glass vs. Plastic

　　玻璃鏡片與樹脂鏡片

　　Of the 69.1 million Americans who bought prescription spectacles last year, most purchased plastic lenses; glass has gone out of fashion as safety concerns have arisen. Unlike that hard surface, plastic is soft and can scratch easily.

　　去年，6,910萬美國(guó)人購(gòu)買了處方眼鏡，其中多數(shù)都是樹脂鏡片;由于對(duì)安全的擔(dān)憂上升，玻璃鏡片已經(jīng)過時(shí)。與玻璃鏡片堅(jiān)硬的表面不同，樹脂鏡片柔軟而且容易被刮壞。

　　Once lenses are scraped up, &aposthere is no way to buff that scratch out,&apos says Dr. Geist. Attempting to clean glasses when dry only exacerbates the problem, since a wet surface is slicker than a dry one. &aposPeople breathe on their glasses then grab a Kleenex or paper towel or napkin because they&aposre convenient, but the rough fibers that they&aposre comprised of might leave debris behind,&apos Dr. Geist says. She adds that special microfiber cloths are good for dry touch-ups during the day, but aren&apost a stand-in for a thorough, soapy cleaning. Neither is your breath.

　　蓋斯特博士說，一旦鏡片有了刮痕，“就沒有辦法除去”。在鏡片干燥時(shí)擦眼鏡只會(huì)加劇問題，因?yàn)闈駶?rùn)的表面會(huì)比干燥的表面光滑一些。蓋斯特博士說：“人們?cè)阽R片上哈氣，然后順手抓起一張餐巾紙去擦眼鏡，但構(gòu)成餐巾紙的粗糙纖維可能會(huì)在鏡片上留下碎屑。”她補(bǔ)充說，特殊的超細(xì)纖維布適于干擦鏡片，但它不能替代徹底的皂液清潔方法。你的哈氣也不行。

　　Rlecting on the Problem

　　涂層問題

　　Lenses typically have some form of protective coating and should never come into contact with ammonia, bleach, vinegar or window cleaner. &aposThose chemicals can break down the coating or just strip them,&apos says Dr. Geist. &aposYou know those bubbles you sometimes see on your lens? Those are caused by &aposcleansing&apos solutions.&apos Avoid the problem by requesting anti-glare and UV coatings that are embedded within the lens, which can cost about $100 more than regular-coated lenses.

　　鏡片通常有某種形式的防護(hù)涂層，因此不應(yīng)接觸氨、漂白劑、醋和窗戶清潔劑。蓋斯特博士說：“這些化學(xué)物質(zhì)會(huì)破壞或者洗掉涂層。你知道有時(shí)在鏡片上看到的泡泡印是怎么回事嗎?那就是用‘清潔劑’導(dǎo)致的?！币笤阽R片中加入防眩光和紫外線涂層可以避免這個(gè)問題，這種鏡片的價(jià)格比普通涂層鏡片高出約100美元。

　　Clean Lines

　　清潔產(chǎn)品

　　Natural oils from your hands, eyelashes and face can lead to a lot of buildup each day, reducing lenses&apos fectiveness. Leaving spectacles on a sink or vanity, where hair spray and perfume can fly through the air, adds to the residue. The AOA recommends washing glasses every morning, paying special attention to the frames and earpieces, where hair product and makeup tend to rub off. Whatever you do, don&apost use the most handy form of water to clean your lenses. &aposSome people use spit, but don&apost,&apos urges Dr. Geist. Though dirty glasses won&apost cause an eye infection, saliva &aposis not the best hygiene method, and it just won&apost work very well,&apos she says. Soap, warm water and a dry cloth are all you need, once a day, to keep glasses optimally clean and functional. &aposI have had patients who say they can&apost see well, but it turns out it is just the scratches,&apos says Dr. Geist.

　　手、睫毛和面部每天產(chǎn)生的天然油脂可能大量堆積在鏡片上，降低鏡片的透光性。將眼鏡放在水池或衛(wèi)生間臺(tái)面等可能殘留發(fā)膠和香水飛沫的地方會(huì)增加殘留物。美國(guó)驗(yàn)光學(xué)會(huì)建議每天早上清洗眼鏡，尤其應(yīng)該注意鏡框和鏡腳等容易擦到護(hù)發(fā)品和化妝品的地方。無論你做什么，都不要用最現(xiàn)成的“水”來清潔鏡片。蓋斯特博士說：“有些人用唾液，可千萬別這么做?！北M管臟鏡片不會(huì)導(dǎo)致眼部感染，但唾液 “不是最衛(wèi)生的方法，而且它的效果也不好”。你只需要每天用皂液、溫水和一塊干布，即可保持眼鏡清潔好用。蓋斯特博士說：“我的患者中，有些人說他們看不清，結(jié)果只是鏡片上有劃痕?！?/p>
