'I can see!': Shoppers say this No. 1 bestselling $8 eyeglass cleaning kit gets lenses 'crystal clear'

'Works like a charm' on all types of glasses, devices and more.

If you wear glasses, you know that just about any soft fabric makes for a cleaning cloth in a pinch. The problem is, wiping your lenses on your T-shirt usually just makes those smudges even worse. That's why a high-quality glasses cleaning kit is a much better option. These kits don't just come with a dedicated microfiber cleaning cloth, they also have a cleaning solution that targets dirt and oil to remove smears and restore your vision. And at just $8, the megapopular Koala Eyeglass Lens Cleaner kit is the perfect choice.

Have streak-free glasses for years to come with this mega-popular mega-kit. Includes one bottle of gentle, effective cleaner and a microfiber cloth — all made in the U.S.A.

$8 at Amazon

Originally retailing for $10, the Koala Eyeglass Lens Cleaner kit is really a no-brainer buy, and at $8 it's a must-buy. It's not only wildly affordable but it's wildly effective. And clear vision is priceless.

Koala's nontoxic, fragrance-free solution is made with ultra-purified water and contains zero VOCs (volatile organic compounds). This makes it a safe choice for the whole fam.

This kit is designed to clean pretty much anything you might put over your eyes — prescription eyewear, blue-light glasses, sunnies, virtual reality gear, even cameras and devices. Many Amazon reviewers say that Koala's cleaning solution is better than what they get from their ophthalmologist's office or eyewear shop. The dense weave of the Japanese microfiber cloth only enhances the power of this alcohol-free cleanser.

Plus, when you purchase this Koala kit, you're supporting a small business that makes products with care in small batches in New York.

So, how does an eyeglass cleaning kit from a small business earn over 38,000 five-star fans and No. 1 bestseller status on Amazon? By being awesome, it seems.

One pleased shopper said, "Made my glasses look brand-new! This stuff is amazing. No smudges or lint fuzzies. Dries fast. No chemical smell. We are a family of seven and all of us wear glasses. This is the best product I have found in a long time."

"No streaks, no smudges, no haze, better than alcohol cleaners," reported another five-star reviewer. "I have always used alcohol-based cleaners because that's what the eye doctor tells you to use. However, the alcohol cleaners always left a haze afterward.... I am overly impressed with Koala eyeglass cleaner. Clean, clear, no haze, no smudges after using the cleaner."

"I can see!" raved a grateful shopper. "Love this cleaner. What I had from the eye doctor left smudges and took forever to get a clear view in my glasses. This product works wonderfully."

And users don't stop with their lenses either: "It really does get my glasses, phone, and watch screen crystal clear. I work in IT so I also use the cleaner/microfiber cloths on lots of laptops and other random things that are sensitive to cleaners and cloths. They're hand washable and come out like new. There 'may' still be stains, but it works like new anyway."

Some shoppers use it for more than spectacles, but say the kit could be a little bit better.

"Works great to clean glasses, iPad screens as well as phone screens," a savvy shopper shared. "Makes cleaning those things a cinch! Very pleased with my purchase. If I had to pick one con, it would be the size of the cloths. I wished they were a little bigger."

"It really does get my glasses, phone, and watch screen crystal clear," wrote another customer. "I work in IT so I also use the cleaner/microfiber cloths on lots of laptops and other random things that are sensitive to cleaners and cloths. They're hand washable and come out like new. There 'may' still be stains, but it works like new anyway."

Say goodbye to smudges and hello to crystal-clear lenses with this two-piece kit.
