Sometime input from other seemingly unrelated fields can be of great benefit.
Ask your local optometrist about cleaning corrective lenses, especially
coated glass and/ plastic lenses. When I got my last lenses, I was given a
cleaning kit which included a silk cloth and spray bottle containing a
solution of about 50% iso-propyl alcohol and small amout of a mild detergent.
I was admonished NEVER to use KLEENEX on coated and/or plastic lenses because
of the abrasive nature of the product. Of course, there are specially
manufactured and treated "lens papers" for optical lenses in cameras, etc,
but they're just too damned small to blow your nose in.
