What is the proper way to clean the lens? Can I use an eyeglass lens cleaning solution?

I use eye glass cleaner on mind and it works great. When I worked for a Professional Corp. we used distilled water and small drop of Joy Dish Detergent. We used this on expensive lense , the joy does not leave a film residue.

I have been using eyeglass lens cleaning wipes and the result and has been fine.

Yes, but apply the cleaning solution to the cloth you're using instead of directly to the lens.

Definitely not! Clean only the outside lens and eyepiece, NEVER anything inside the camera. You can look up other tools to clean inside the camera.

I only use the Clear Care and my lenses have stayed clean for almost a year. I do rinse them gently under water at times but it's not usually needed.

Sorry I can't say to this as I have only cleaned eyeglasses (which were amazingly clean and lots of dirty water afterwards), watches and jewelry. Ask your dentist if this would be a good idea as the materials might matter which product you use.

Don't know. For my eyeglasses I just first rinse off that little white flaky debris with water (and dry it with a non-abrasive tissue, or handkerchief, so as not to get my microfiber cloth wet) , or just smudge down those pieces so they don't scratch the surface when I begin to wipe. Then I just give it a once-over with the cloth. I've used it on my iPad screen also, and it's great.

you have to do it carefully as to not break the lens( if they are hard lenses) as it's a pretty tight suction. I usually put a bit of water on it and then gently twist it a bit using my forefingers. This thing has helped me out more times than I can say as my lenses won't come out once my eyes are watery.

I think general eyeglass cleaner works fairly well. Occasionally I will clean the lenses off with soap and water. I haven't noticed any build up type issues on my iPad screen. Where I think this item works best is in keeping your lenses "clean" for longer, especially if you have anti-glare coating which seems to attract smudges. It also making them easier to clean on the fly in less than ideal situations.

Yes. I use the cleaning solution for my camera lenses and LCD screens, sunglasses, etc.

I spray with vinegar, let sit awhile and use microfiber cloth to wipe up. I use for almost everything, I have one set aside to clean just my glasses, does great job.

Just a novice, but I installed a 52mm screw-on UV filter on the front of the lens to protect it from scratches. This keeps dirt off the lens and allows me to clean only the filter with alcohol wipes without fear of damaging the lens. If the UV filter gets scratched, it is easily, and most importantly, inexpensively replaced. Check with a real camera store for cleaning materials for lenses. On-line searches for camera forums should also provide a wealth of information.

Something that is just important as cleaning these after extended use...is to avoid getting oils and dust from hands and the house--if you plan using these cloths on camera lenses. Otherwise, you're just moving dirt from your hands onto the lens and never getting it clean.

I cleaned my lens with a hand-squeeze air tool. I also use the air-tool on the filter before putting it on the lens. Since both the lens and the filter were brand new i did not need to use a micro-fiber or lens cleaning tissue. Try just air to blow away dust. Hope this helps.

I attach low cost clear filters on all of my lenses for protection from dusts, deposits and finger prints on the glass. Thus, I have never wiped, never contacted the lens glass. I clean the filters by using water from reverse osmosis in my kitchen whenever I find deposits and/or dusts on the filter glass. To my tests, I do not see my low cost filters make any adverse effects on the pictures taken by myself.

Very cheap. Lenses are plastic, so I'm not sure how you'd clean them if they're not very clear or have been scuffed. Glass cleaner? If that doesn't work, throw them away like I did.

What I do after I wipe it down, is use one of the cloths I got from the eye doctor for my glasses on it. It helps, but I don't think I will ever buy another one.

I would try some windex or some dish cleaner--- maybe even some eyeglass cleaner. Hope this helps!

I just now cleaned mine with a lens cleaner from walmart (Zeiss) for computers/glasses and it did not streak or anything. So I would say it would be just fine.
