Kleenex are rough on AR coatings. I won't wipe my glasses with them.
(Do you wear glasses all the time? I put mine on before my feet hit the
floor in the morning, and except for showering I leave them on until I
go to bed at night.)

Although I prefer tissues (and don't need them very often), I carry a
handkerchief. Just in case. (If I leave it in my pocket and it goes through
the laundry, it's much less of a mess than tissues.)
