I bought a pair of glasses and wanted to know if there was a special way to clean them? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I don't want to ruin them

Water or any other non-abrasive sunglass (or regular glasses) cleaning solution will do the trick. However, you want to make sure to use a microfiber or 100% cotton cloth to wipe it down.

The polarized anti-reflective coating (usually on the inside of the sunglasses) CAN get scratched, so make sure to be gentle with it. I always put my sunglasses in their cases when I take them off, especially if they're of high value.

You may use sunglasses cleaning solution.
Be sure to be gentle while cleaning your
polarized sunglasses because that is so
sensitive.

It is true that sunglasses solution can be usefull.
But I was told that the polarized sunglasses can not be washed in a ultrasonic wave washing machine used to washing eyeglasses.
The polarized thing may be easily destroyed by shocking the lenses.
