How many times a day do you use eyeglass cleaner?
Today’s item is OPTI WIPES (200 wipes), which I found at Costco.
Reference price
・200-wipe box: 💲299.00 MXN
① A nice option if you prefer wipes over liquid cleaner
If you wear glasses every day, what kind of cleaner do you usually use?
Costco also sells liquid cleaning kits in the optical section, but if you prefer pre-moistened cleaning wipes, this is another option worth checking out.
And yes, it comes with 200 wipes, so the box is pretty full.
② Looking at the back and side panels
Let’s also check the back and side of the box. _φ(･_･
The packaging says the materials used do not damage or scratch your lenses.
It also says the wipes are for quick and safe cleaning of glasses, sunglasses, optical products, electronics, and touch screens.
Other claims include instant cleaning, anti-static effect, no residue, and softness.
So this is not just for glasses—you could also use it on a smartphone, computer monitor, or camera lens. Soft, disposable, and easy: that sounds convenient.
③ I opened it… from the wrong side(^^;;
I opened the box right away! …Well, not quite. It turns out this was not the correct side to open……~_~;
My mistake. The actual dispenser is on the bottom of the box.
From there, the wipes come out as a connected 2-sheet strip.
④ What the wipe packets look like
When you pull them out, this is the shape you get.
Each one has a perforation line, so you can tear them apart neatly into individual packets.
⑤ Trying them out for real
Now let’s actually use one.
The wipe comes folded, so I opened it up fully.
Its size is 15 cm × 12 cm. It does feel soft, but not flimsy—more like a light but sturdy sheet. It is not rough or scratchy.
⑥ My impressions after using it
I tried it on my glasses and it removed smudges and dirt quite easily.
I also used it on a computer screen and smartphone screen, and I liked the result there too.
＊Should you buy it?＊
Eyeglass cleaners come in both wipe and liquid form. Some people strongly prefer liquid cleaner and might say, “I’m not really into wipe-type cleaners.” That is fair.
But for carrying around or for those moments when you need to clean something quickly, wipes are extremely convenient.
In terms of value, my impression is that the price is not dramatically different from similar products sold elsewhere.
And since you can use them not only for glasses but also for phones, monitors, laptops, and camera lenses, the versatility is nice.
Hearing “200 wipes” might make you think, “That is way too many!”—but it also means you probably will not need to buy another box for months.
If you already like wipe-style cleaners, this seems like a very practical Costco find.
