Purosol Optical Lens Cleaner
Purosol Optical was originally developed for NASA and the US military for use on high-end multi-coated optics. Combining the power of organic plant extracts and state-of-the-art green chemistry, it is the world’s most advanced cleaning solution.
One spray of Purosol® fine mist followed by a gentle wipe of a Purosol® ultra-fine woven microfiber cloth and your lens emerges crystal clear and free of dirt and dust without streaks or damage to the precision coating on your lens.
What makes this product so different and why NASA and the US Military consider it ideal for cleaning high-end precision coated optics?
It’s all about the precision Green technology used in the Purosol® manufacturing process!
Purosol Green Technology
All natural plant enzymes are combined to change the molecular surface tension which holds dust and dirt to the lens surface.
Taking its cleaning power from nature itself, Purosol Optical is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, nonflammable, sterile and completely biodegradable. It is CFC-free, VOC-free and exceeds EPA and OSHA health and safety standards, as well as exceeding standards set for the EU, Australia, Canada, Japan, and other countries worldwide.
Purosol Optical is Effective
Using the latest in surface chemistry, it breaks the molecular bonds that dust, dirt and grime use to adhere to the lens. Purosol Optical is streak-free and leaves an anti-static barrier which repels dust, meaning you will have to clean your lens less frequently.
Purosol Optical is Safe
Gentle enough for use on all optical and coated lenses, it contains no alcohol, ammonia, detergent, or any other traditional solvent which can damage your expensive coatings. Purosol leaves no residue and is free of silicone, graphite and glycerin.
Purosol Optical is Trusted
Utilized by the US and Canadian militaries, national laboratories, hospitals, research facilities, observatories, and professional photographers. Purosol is trusted on the very best and valuable optical lenses in the world.

After using this a few months, my coated lenses are ruined. Pitting and smears that can't be removed.

My background: 20 years of operating cameras in the military, 35 years of wearing glasses, 5 operating telescopes at observatories and at least 20 carrying binoct for birding. Of all the lens cleaning fluids I've ever used, Purosol is my favorite because it sprays on in a finer mist than any other, rarely streaks (only if I have some serious dirt - like makeup or grease - on the lens), and wipes off super easy. Only downside is the price...

So here it goes. I use this to clean my lenses it seems to work fine although be careful where you store it since it can get crushed rather easily. I set my bag down and it must of bumped something and my bag was got really wet. I would order again.

I purchased this with the Nikon 8072 Microfiber Cleaning Cloth (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007M6GI6). After blowing the dust off the surface with a Giottos AA1900 Rocket Air Blaster (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00017LSPI), I spray about 2 or 3 pumps of the Purosol onto the Nikon microfiber cloth and gently wipe in a circular motion. Lenses, filters, and view screens turn out perfect! They are streak free and perfectly clear. This spray is magic! The Nikon microfiber cloth is clever and top quality, too. I carry all three products in my kit with Nikon Moist Lens Cleaner Cloths (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LC5V9M) as backup.

Good lens cleaner. I bought this product right after I bought my ray bans on here, and it cleans the lens flawlessly without any residue or streaks. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it does seem to require 3 or so squirts on each lens to clear the glasses entirely of grease. One squirt will usually just spread the grease around. Overall though, when you're done cleaning your lens's it makes them look brand new.

This is my first review. I read a lot of negative reviews and a lot of positive. More positive than negative, and I decided to take a chance.I tried it with my eye glasses, (not a camera lens). My experience was very disappointing. I agree with everyone who said that it leaves a film. I used a brand new micro fiber cloth with the spray. It took a lot of spraying and wiping but always left a film. I tried just using the cloth alone and it worked better but still left a film and one or two smears. I decided to try using the cloth first and then the spray, and finish up with the cloth. It still did not work. Nothing I tried worked and I tried a lot. This product just does not work for me. I definitely will not recommend it.

I bought this for my wife's photography stuff. I recently began wearing glasses, and I find myself pilfering it for my own use. Being new to the glasses world, any spots, dust, smudges, etc drive me insane(er). This stuff works better than anything the optometrists office gives away or sells. Paired with a nice micofiber towel, no streaks, no problems. Worth the price to me. And momma likes it a lot for her lenses so you photography buffs out there be heartened. Your smear fix is here.

It has been over a year since my eyeglasses were this clean, super-sharp, and streak/reflection free. But, using Purosol and their related microfiber cleaning cloth, one short burst on each side was all it took.Mind you - I've been using traditional eyeglass cleaner (and microfiber cloths) for years. But in the end, the lenses are tough to clean the first time - and you have to work to get the streaks out (my eyeglasses have a non-reflective coating).Next, I tried Purosol on my Nikon DSLR lens, and once again outstanding streak-free results. For a camera lens, however, I would recommend following the included instructions by spraying a small amount on the cloth and THEN using it to clean the lens, rather than letting the cleaner get into the edge of the lens.Finally, I cleaned 3 non-glare LCD monitors (a 15" laptop, 20" LCD, and 30" LCD). The 30" (Apple Cinema) is notoriously difficult to clean, even with the microfiber cloth that Apple provides. Using Purosol, focusing on half the screen at a time, and using circular motions as recommended cleaned all 3 monitors to like-new. It doesn't get any better than this.Add the alcohol-free, non-toxic properties and I'm simply blown away. Yes, it's more expensive than cheap solutions, but you don't need to use as much and the results are stunning. I would gladly pay more (although I hope Purosol doesn't read this!)
