How often you clean your lens depends on how often you use them. If you like to go out and shoot every weekend, then get in the habit of sprucing up your lenses every Friday night. As you’ve removed any hint of dust and grime, you can use the microfiber cleaning cloth in a left-to-right motion or a circular one. Step 6: Clean The Rear Element

Camera lenses are expensive, so it’s worth investing a small fraction of that cost in a protective or UV filter. They come in a range of sizes to suit lenses. Buy a cheap protective filter and place it on the front of your lens as soon as you get it out of the box. The combination of ZEISS AntiFOG spray applied with the ZEISS AntiFOG Cloth can make your lenses stay fog-free for up to 72 hours without influencing optical quality.

It’s going to get onto your camera and lenses no matter what you do. Plus, taking your lenses outdoors is going to result in getting dirt all over them.

The best eyeglass lens cleaner for you depends on what your glasses are made of and whether you have any added coatings.
