It works much better than any of the store bought types at a tiny fraction of the cost. Get one of those little pump bottles, 1/2 pint or less. The kind they sell hand sanitizer in. Wash the bottle. Add 1/8 simple dishwashing soap, Dawn or the like. Then fill the rest of the bottle with rubbing alcohol. That's it. Squirt a drop on each eyeglass lens and rub over both sides of the lens with your fingers. Rinse in warm water. Use a non linting tissue to dry. I actually use a relatively soft paper towel. I've been tempted to try this on camera lenses too but I'm not sure what it will do to the coating. Won't scratch though. Maybe I'll try it on a cheap lens. Larry Z
