No — it's the gentlest way to clean glasses there is. Nothing physically touches your lenses: the cleaning happens through water, not friction. Coated, anti-reflective, blue-light and high-index lenses are all safe. The real damage comes from wiping dry lenses with a cloth or shirt, which acts like fine sandpaper. This is the opposite of that. If your lenses are old with already-peeling coatings, check with your optician first.
It works — and you'll see it the first time. After one cycle the water turns cloudy and grey with the oil, makeup and dead skin lifted off your glasses. It's the same ultrasonic technology opticians, jewellers and labs have used professionally for decades, shrunk down for your bathroom counter.
Because a cloth only cleans the flat front of the lens — and smears the oil around while slowly scratching it. It can't reach the nose pads, hinges or the seam where the lens meets the frame, which is exactly where buildup hides. This cleans the whole pair at once, including the parts your cloth never touches.
Yes. The tank holds full-size frames and sunglasses with room to spare — prescription glasses, readers, blue-light and polarised pairs all fit. Simply lay them in so the lenses are fully under the water and press the button.
The ClearWave is USB-C rechargeable and runs for weeks of daily use on a single charge. Recharge anytime with the included cable. If it ever seems unresponsive, it most likely just needs a charge — plug it in for 1–2 hours before first use.
