Then apply some cleaning fluid to a tissue, never directly on
the optics. Wipe the lens gently in a circular motion, then
remove any excess fluid with a fresh lens tissue. Oily finger-
prints and smudges may be removed using this method. Use
caution; rubbing too hard may scratch the lens. For the large
surface of the meniscus lens, clean only a small area at a time,
using a fresh lens tissue on each area. Never reuse tissues.
