    Toilet paper has scratchy stuff in it which scratches you lenses. Tissues also do to a lesser extent. Opticians give you a microfiber cloth to wipe your glasses with and you need to wash them regularly to remove grit and grease.

    5mins on Google tells me tissues work well to soak up water drops but rubbing with tissues will scratch overtime.

    I'm not disputing your position, just your method of asserting it.

    Why? Im not the one making unsupported claims that tissue paper contains fibres? that scratch glass. The grit and shit on your lense is what does that so over time (still no length given) you will scratch them with whatever you wipe them with.
