With rising concern over supply chains and everyday essentials, Clean Peepers LLC emerges as a U.S.-based answer for cleaner, more conscious lens care. SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, June 5, 2025 / / -- Clean Peepers LLC, a new eyewear care brand founded by Bay Area tech professional, Dori Young announces the official launch of the Clean Peepers debut product line and online store. At the center of the launch is EYEGLASS EGGS™, a reusable, patent-pending lens cleaning cloth designed to fit over the hand for quick, precise cleaning — no more smudges, streaks, or waste. EYEGLASS EGGS™ offers a more thoughtful alternative to typical microfiber cloths and disposable wipes. Each kit includes two cloth styles; the Quick Clean EYEGLASS EGG™ for dry smudges and the Cleansing EYEGLASS EGGS™ for use with spray or water, plus a twist-up mister (which ships empty for customizable filling), a telescoping drying capsule, and a selection of travel cases and pouches in stylish, modern colors. Designed for portability and everyday use, the Clean Peepers system supports better hygiene for one of the most frequently overlooked personal care items: your glasses. With reusable and refillable components, the kits are made for people who prioritize clean living, travel often, or follow a skincare routine that includes their eyewear. Beyond function, EYEGLASS EGGS™ was intentionally designed to be visually appealing and fun to use. In product testing, customers noted they were more likely to clean their glasses regularly because the tools were easy to carry and enjoyable to use. By offering kits that complement personal style, Clean Peepers turns eyewear care into something people look forward to. Following a soft direct-to-consumer launch earlier this year, Clean Peepers is now opening wholesale opportunities for retailers and optical partners. Its June release also honors Juneteenth, reflecting the company's identity as a Black woman–led business and its broader commitment to ownership, accessibility, and forward-thinking design. 'This isn't just about smudges,' said Young. 'It's about having something reliable and well-made in your daily routine, something that's yours, and that works.' EYEGLASS EGGS™ kits are now available to consumers via the company's online store and are open to retail partnerships nationwide. ### For wholesale inquiries, visit: To purchase directly, visit: If you would like to review EYEGLASS EGGS™, please contact Clean Peepers directly.

How To Get Scratches Out Of Glasses Without Damaging Your Lenses
If you wear glasses, you know that properly caring for and storing them increases their lifespan. However, if you notice a scratch on the lens, you might be wondering how to get the scratch out without damaging your lenses. The short answer is that scratches on lenses are not repairable, and at-home methods may provide a temporary fix at best, but you run the risk of damaging lens coatings. Here's how to deal with scratches on lenses, according to two eye professionals. If you want to remove scratches from glasses, replacing the lenses is the best way to maintain the ... More quality. 'When dealing with a scratched lens, you might be tempted by DIY fixes promising to buff out those imperfections, but the truth is that replacing your lenses is the only way to resolve the issue,' says Dr. James Dello Russo, an optometrist at Dello Russo Laser Vision. At-home methods to fill or buff the scratch out might provide a temporary fix, but will most likely result in damaging lens coatings like anti-glare or UV protection. 'Once the lens surface is damaged, the scratch is permanent,' says Dr. Artis Beatty, chief medical officer at MyEyeDr. Our experts agree that the best approach is prevention, and if the scratch affects your vision, replacing the lenses is necessary. Our experts agree that the best prevention method is caring for your glasses. 'Store them in a hard case, clean with a microfiber cloth and lens-safe solution, and avoid placing them face down or wiping with clothing, paper towels or tissues,' says Beatty. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners (such as vinegar, bleach or window cleaner), which may damage the lenses. Use clean hands when handling glasses and don't grab them by the lenses when picking them up—instead, pick them up by the frame, which is much more sturdy. 'Scratches, even small ones, can distort light and affect your vision, leading to eye strain and discomfort,' says Dello Russo. 'Replacing the lenses maintains the original quality and benefits of your eyewear.' If you notice a scratch or worse, a crack in your lenses, start by making an appointment with your optometrist to ensure your prescription is current before replacing the lenses. If the frame is in good condition, you may be able to reuse it, but your eyecare professional will be able to advise you on the next steps. In some cases, replacing both the lenses and frame at the same time ensures the best fit and optimal comfort.
