So I was at the optomistrist this AM getting the yearly checkup and I asked what they thought would be the best to clean binocular lens. They gave me a microfiber cloth and eyeglass cleaning solution.
Are these OK to use or is there something better. I have one of the pens and use that currently but just wondering
When ever i clean optics i use a rocket blower first to remove all the big stuff , and then use a lens brush ( like the one on the end of your pen ) , and then finally use a microfiber cloth to remove smears. I dont really see the need for the eye glass cleaning solution.
I think most of those eyeglass solutions are OK, first give it a good brushing with a lens cleaning brush before wetting the lens. Most eyeglass lenses are made of plastic so one would think these solutions would be fine.
Make sure the microfibre cloth is a quality one they do differ, and keep it clean.
Some users will give their waterproof bins the faucet rinse first, I am more fussy with mine and they don't get that dirty!
Some like the Zeiss paper pre-moistened lens cleaning cloths, they are good also, but
can leave lint on the softer rubber eyecups.
