Lens Cleaning Procedure

Cleaning procedure for HD(1.5-3:1) lens and HD(3-5.3:1) lens.

To minimize the possibility of damaging the optical coating or scratch-
ing exposed lens surface, we have developed recommendations for
cleaning the lens. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any
material from the lens by blowing it off with clean, dry deionized air.
DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses.

A Toraysee

TM

cloth is included with the lens kit.

Proceed as follows :

1. Always wipe lenses with a CLEAN Toraysee

TM

cloth.

2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction. Do not wipe back and forth
across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.

3. Do not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coat
pocket, as doing so can contaminate the cloth.

4. If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears
are the first indication of a dirty cloth.

5. Do not use fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth or
softener sheets when drying the cloth.

6. Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contaminate
the cloth.

Cleaning procedure for the other HD lens

To minimize the possibility of damaging the optical coating or scratch-
ing exposed lens surfaces, we have developed recommendations for
cleaning lenses.

FIRST

, we recommend you try to remove any

material from the lens by blowing it off with deionized air or

lightly

brushing it with a soft, camel's hair brush.

Plastic lens with multilayer coatings & all glass lens elements.

1.

DO NOT

spray any type of fluid directly on the lens surface.

2.

DO NOT

use any dry material to clean the surface (dry rag, tissue,

etc.)

3. Use a commercial liquid window cleaner.

DO NOT use an aerosol.

Other cleaning agents, such as laboratory-grade acetone or a 70-
30 mixture of ethyl ether and ethyl alcohol may also be used. If you
are not sure of the cleaning agent, experiment with a small area of
the lens first.

4. Use a soft cotton cloth (cotton diapers laundered several times to

remove sizing) or any soft facial tissue (Charmin, Softweve, etc.).

5. When using window cleaner,

moisten the cloth or tissue

and

lightly wipe the surface. Then lightly dry with a new tissue.

6. When using acetone or ethyl ether mixture, proceed as follows :

Fold the cloth or tissue several times to form a pad. Soak the folded
end of the pad in the acetone. Starting at the diameter opposite you,
immediately wipe the coated lens, with very little pressure, toward
you in a straight line and off the lens. Do not stop with the tissue on
