If you wear glasses, there may be microfiber cleaning cloths hidden everywhere in your home, because like death and taxes, it is inevitable that your lenses will become dirty. But when you can put the specifications into the LensHD and let the mini-washing machine do all the heavy work for you, why spend half a day wiping off dust and grease?

LensHD is reminiscent of Cardlax, which is a similar automatic cleaning device that can remove earwax from wireless earbuds and all other dirt picked up when inserted into the ear. Cleaning wax and dirt on earplugs is definitely worse than wiping off spots and fingerprints on a pair of glasses, but it is still a chore and can eventually be outsourced to a machine.

Inside the LensHD is a set of four soft blade-like sponges, wrapped in a microfiber cloth, and each rotation is rotated in a slightly offset manner to increase the coverage area. Spraying the sponge with glasses cleaner before cleaning can improve their ability to remove greasy fingerprints (this is not mandatory, but anyone who wears glasses knows that this will make the process easier and more effective) but other than that, use LensHD Just like placing a pair of glasses, simply enter and shut down the machine. At this time, the four sponges start to work and clean the sides of each lens at the same time.

Let your money be spent on Amazon, there are now a small number of lenses, cameras, lights and accessory kits on sale.

This machine is not as portable as the microfiber cloth in your pocket (or just use the shirt you are wearing), it is powered by a USB-C cable instead of a rechargeable battery, although you can always pair it with a portable power supply if Mobility is your top priority. There is no specific detail about how long it will take to clean, but by wiping both sides of the two lenses at the same time, it is almost certainly faster than cleaning the lenses manually. As for compatibility, the team behind LensHD claims that they have tested it with 100 different types and styles of glasses, so unless you wear a particularly unique or large frame, they should be compatible.

Like the Cardlax earplug cleaner, the creator of LensHD (originally a member of the team responsible for Cardlax) chose a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to help bring their creation to consumers. But the funding target is only $1,000, and it looks like they are using Kickstarter more as a booking platform than a way to raise enough funds to put LensHD into production. The cheapest pre-order option for delivery in November 2021 has a list price of $79, but the full retail price may be much higher.

Although the creator of LensHD "...is ready to go into production, the source of the material and the determined timetable are locked with our reliable manufacturer," there are still good reasons to be cautious about any crowdfunding product, especially in large The epidemic is still happening all over the world, which makes it difficult for larger companies to deliver products to consumers. If you do book LensHD, please add a little salt or a tablespoon before the November delivery date.

I just washed my glasses under the sink with a drop of dishwashing liquid. It doesn’t take a minute and it certainly won’t produce a lot of excessive carbon footprint.
