Is it safe to use eye glass lense cleaner on camera lenses?

Will it damage or affect the camera lens in any way?

It will depend on the eyeglass lens cleaner. There's really two big worries--1) abrasion and 2) damaging the lens coating.

Some eyeglass cleaning fluids are not pure, so they can put microscopic scratches on the lens. And depending upon the formulation, it might damage or take off the lens multi-coating.

Thus, I would recommend that you stick with formulas designed for multi-coated camera lenses, as well as cloths designed for camera lenses (and not the silicone-impregnated lens cloths for eyeglasses).

In 37 years I have never used any liquid on a camera lens. I use lens cloths from Pentax and PhotoSilk. If there is any loose dust on the lens I brush it off using a lens brush. It looks like a tube of lipstick and I've had it 37 years.

Once your lens is clean, buy a Skylight filter for it and keep it on the lens except when using your polarizer. I'd much rather clean or replace a filter than a lens.

I personally wouldn't put any commercial liquid on a lens. I'd breathe on it a bit for moisture and use lens tissue. Stores like Best buy might have lens tissue, but small local cameras stores almost always have it.

Why not buy a "multi optical cleaning solution" from Giotto? Plus buy a microfiber cloth. Then you're set, you should be able to use it both for lens and glasses.

Here's some more info from Giotto site.

Vintage Music is right. Eye glass cleaner might mess up the special coating on a camera lens, cause they are different from eye glassses.
