Purpose: This research was to evaluate the sterilization effectiveness for bacterial contamination by general cleaning method of glasses for vision correction. Methods: From 82 eyeglass wearers the number of bacteria before and after cleaning was counted to check the status of the eradication. Results: The results after ultrasonic cleaning by using the tap water did not showed change of bacterial species. Ultrasonic cleaning using the 70% rubbing alcohol showed cleaning of 46.2% of bacteria. Ultrasonic cleaning using the 70% rubbing alcohol after brushing with general detergent showed clearing of 85.7% of bacteria. Conclusions: When glasses were brushed with a detergent, opportunities infectious bacteria in glasses for vision correction were removed effectively. These results can be suggested as a guideline for management of clean glasses.
