After a long, hot week, your poor glasses and sunglasses are likely covered in sweat, streaks, sand, debris and more. And, if you’re wearing and re-applying facial sunscreen (as recommended by dermatologists), your poor frames are likely getting more smudges than ever. Luckily, we found a compact, ultrasonic cleaning machine that reviewers with glasses call “a must” for keeping their specs sparkling all summer long. Even better? It’s currently up to 37% off in Amazon’s early Labor Day sale, with the best deal on the white model if you hurry.

Whether traditional specs, sunnies or transitionals — glasses can get pretty dang gross. If cleaning yours is an uphill battle of smudges and streaks, reviewers say this ultrasonic machine fixes that nearly instantly!
While it looks like a hot tub for your valuables, this smart tank is actually an “ultrasonic cleaner” — a machine that uses “high-frequency, high-intensity sound waves in a liquid” to help nix germs and gunk from submerged items, according to ScienceDirect, a web database of peer-reviewed scientific research. Government studies have found ultrasonic cleaners to be “more effective than hand washing” for cleaning contamination — something echo’d by reviewers for this cleaner.
“It took out so much funky gunk from between the rims of the lenses and the frames. Stuff you can’t even see, much less clean,” shopper Shawna wrote. ”…If you wipe your glasses and it seems like you’re just smearing oil all over them, buy this. It’ll solve that problem in 5 minutes!”
Weighing just over a pound, the stainless steel tank holds about a cup and a half of water, making it easy and quick to use on the go. Simply plug it into the wall, fill the water to the line, drop in your glasses and choose between the five- or seven-minute cleaning cycles. The brand says you don’t need to add a cleaning solution, though some reviewers say they find adding a little dish soap made their valuables look “professionally cleaned!”
When you’re done with your glasses, you can use the machine to clean dentures, jewelry, toothbrushes, combs, coins, makeup brushes, razor blades and more.
In this economy, devices that do more than one thing are truly a must. Luckily, this handy gadget can be used to clean a variety of items.
“It makes my diamonds sparkle [in] a way that I just can’t achieve with soapy water and a toothbrush,” shopper Sarah wrote. “I cleaned a necklace and chain that I have had for 40 years and it came out like new,” another said. “I have used it on coins, a watch band & a couple rings, all came out really good!!!”
If you’re looking to save time and effort from manual scrubbing, reviewers say this cleaner is the one to buy. Grab one on sale to let the ultrasonic waves do the hard work, making your lenses clear and your jewelry sparkling.

“If you wear eye glasses and clean them multitude time a day you need to have one of these cleaners. My personal experience is that I wear glasses and have oily facial skin which amounts to eye glass cleaning 4 to 7 times a day. I have tried just about every glass cleaning product on the market. They do clean but it always takes an effort to remove the oils from the glass and frames. Using this cleaner in the time it would normally take to clean with micro fiber, lint free lab paper and a solution the glasses look like new and the lens are crystal clear.” — RJM
“This thing is great! I used plain water, it’s very easy to use. My jewelry is blinging!! If you wear glasses it’s a must. It took out so much funky gunk from between the rims of the lenses and the frames. Stuff you can’t even see, much less clean (without popping your lenses out – which is a bad idea) so if you wipe your glasses and it seems like you’re just smearing oil all over them, buy this. It’ll solve that problem in 5 minutes!” — Shawna Hathaway
“This machine turned my “I should get a jewelry cleaner” into a two week project. I pulled out stuff I haven’t seen in years to clean it. It was just too satisfying to watch all the dirt come out. I even started wearing some of my mother’s jewelry again. Cleaning your glasses? Be prepared to be grossed out. Who knew glasses get so dirty?!” — Angela

Definitely a fun and useful gadget!” — Mannie

A dainty glasses chain that looks like a necklace
Though handy to have, especially if you take your glasses on and off frequently, glasses chains are not always the most fashionable accessory. But this ultra-lightweight, dainty imitation gold glasses chain looks more like a necklace — you can even convert it into one if you’d like. It also features anti-slip buckles to keep your frames securely in place until you’re ready to wear them.
Silicone ear-hook grips
Great for active glasses-wearers or if you’re feeling a little behind-the-ear strain, these hook attachments help to keep glasses in place using a soft and easy-to-clean silicone. This set comes with 20 pairs of grips.
HuffPost shopping writer Erica Kam bought these ear grips after seeing them in advertised in various TikToks. “I was sort of skeptical that these were even necessary, but they’ve actually been a huge upgrade for me,” she said. “My glasses tend to slide down my nose, and I didn’t realize how often I had to push them up until these completely solved the problem. I like how the grips are adjustable on each side so I’m able to find the most comfortable fit and never have to worry about my glasses slipping down, especially when I’m sweating.”
