I've been using hot breath and a clean cotton ball for 11 yrs with no problems.
Sometimes I'll puff it with canned air afterwards
to get the little cotton hairs off. The most stubborn nose grease smears may
take two times to fully clean. I've never had any
scratched or marred lenses. Some of my photo staff insist on using lens wipes,
but I think they're a waste of money.

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!
