I'm sure you can see the scratches on a poorly dilated pt though.  Man! Tough 
luck..
You can always do the hot breath method w/a lens cloth which works pretty good 
and affordable.  :)

Subject: [optimal] Fundus camera cleaning regimens

Hello OPTIMAL,
I am wondering if anyone has a set protocol for cleaning fundus cameras. 
Specifically, how often do you clean the front objective lens, and what methods 
do you use? We recently discovered that one of our camera lenses was badly 
scratched from someone cleaning with something abrasive (seriously looks like 
it was done with sandpaper..thankfully it does not affect the image at all in 
most cases)
Any other tips on camera cleaning and maintenance would be welcome!
Thanks very much!
