Lens cleaning. The most common dirt in optics is dust which can be easily blown away by a pressurized gas. A reagent-grade acetone can be used for a more thorough cleaning. In using this lens cleaning solution, hold the lens with lens tissue and just apply a few drops. The dirt should be wiped outward so that dirt will not be distributed on the lens' surface. Fingerprints, left on the lens' surface for a long period of time, may be impressed permanently on the lens. This is why they should be immediately removed or wiped off. Particles of larger size should be removed using a blower before a Kimtech lens wipe 34133 is used. A soap solution can also best clean your lens especially in cases where oil is spread on the lens' surface. After using soap, an acetone can be used to clean the soap residue.
Cleaning larger optics and mirrors. Drag method of lens cleaning can be used to eliminate fingerprints and other lens contaminants. Using this method, a reagent-grade isopropyl alcohol damped in a Kimtech lens wipe or lens tissue is dragged across the lens surface. This should however be done slowly. This works by the evaporation of the solvent uniformly leaving no streaks and spots. This can not be used however on bare metallic coatings.
Cleaning micro-lenses. These may be cleaned simply by an acetone. But proper handling should be employed as this types of lenses are very tiny. A vacuum pick-up tool may be used to securely hold such small lenses before cleaning.
Cleaning eyeglasses. Your eyeglass is also a very delicate gadget that proper cleaning and handling is needed. In cleaning your eyeglass, you can follow some simple tips and techniques. An eyeglass, first and foremost, should be cleaned everyday. A soap solution is one of the most common cleaning techniques that you can do to your eyeglass. Doing this can eliminate smudges and spots on the lens making your eyeglass clearer and thus your vision sharper. Other lens cleaning solutions such as an isopropyl alcohol may also be used to effectively remove dirt on the surface of your lens.
