I’ve been using the Zeiss lens cleaning solution for quite some time now, and I can honestly say that the liquid itself is excellent. It actually cleans my lenses properly: it removes fingerprints, smudges, and everyday grime without leaving streaks or residue. My glasses end up truly clean, not just “spread-around-clean.” That said, I want to be fair and precise: The cleaning liquid is the star of the product. The included cleaning cloths, even though they carry the Zeiss logo, are nothing special. In fact, I personally get better results using my own microfiber cloths from my local optical shop. Regarding a common complaint I’ve seen: Some people mention the adhesive residue left where the two bottles are joined. Yes, it exists—but it’s very easy to remove. You can: Use a bit of nail polish remover (acetone) Use an industrial cleaner like Tesa Industry Cleaner (aerosol) Or simply rub it off with your fingers if you’re patient enough It’s a minor packaging issue and definitely not a reason to dismiss such a good cleaning solution. In short: If what you care about is actually clean lenses, this product delivers. Just don’t expect the cloths to be magical—and don’t overthink the adhesive. The liquid does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and it does it very well. Read more

SHORT VERSION (SEE JAN 2016 UPDATE BELOW) So far, I have no complaints with this product. Like others, I assumed this was safe for all lenses, as advertised, and was surprised to find that it might not be (based thus far on the claims of others and the smell of ammonia). But, thus far, my lenses are fine. For more details, read on. THE LONG VERSION UPDATE - JANUARY 4TH - 2016 Four months later and still no complaints. Performs as noted below, no negative effects on lenses, no sign of damage to coatings. UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 2ND - 2015 Still no complaints. I turned skeptical after reading so many negative reviews, but I really have had nothing but good results with this product. I'm upping my rating from 4 stars to 5 starts after a few months of enjoyable, trouble free use. No smearing, no film, quick cleaning, GREAT spray control, and no impact on my lens coatings at all. ORIGINAL REVIEW I ordered this product trusting in the Zeiss name, and never even thought that this product might not be what it claims. When I read some of the reviews that suggested it wasn't what it seemed to be, I felt like a fool for not reading the reviews before I ordered ... I WRITE reviews, why didn't I read them? Too much faith in a brand I've known or years ... or what claimed to be. BUT ... the glasses I'm wearing now are getting old and will need to be replaced soon. What a great opportunity to experiment! If this stuff is not what it claims and my lenses lose their coatings, no big deal. I'm due for new ones soon. And if not, then I'll have demonstrated that, at least for my glasses (tri-focal no-lines with coatings) it worked well. What have I found? 1) I've been using this product on my glasses several times a week for about a month, and so far I can only say good things. 2) The spray nozzle on the top of each bottle distributes the spray better than any other lens cleaning bottle I've ever used (and I've been wearing glasses since about 1970). It seems a minor thing, but it really helps speed the process of cleaning my glasses to know the pump mister works so well, every time. I distributes spray only where I want it, and I've never been able to say that before. 3) The spray mist adheres well to the lenses and the action with a proper tissue/cloth on the lens is very smooth and effective. No smearing, sticking or jumping like with some cheaper cleaners. I have no issues during the cleaning process itself at all. 4) The removal of skin oils and other greasier forms of dirt from the lenses is quick and easy. I've experienced no film or smearing at all. I'm a little surprised ... still a little skeptical ... but so far, so good. NOTE: I will report my results again after another month or so of daily use and let you know if the coatings on my lenses are still holding up to daily cleaning with this product or not. So far, I see no signs of the coatings breaking down (and I have experienced that on previous glasses when improperly cleaned, so I know what to look for). Read more

Best eyeglass cleaner I have ever used in the 38 years of wearing prescription glasses. Hopefully in the long term it won’t leave build up around the frame edges like the Koala cleaner did. However, not much thought went into packaging. Two bottles come shrink wrapped together, and that’s fine. The cellophane wrap of the microfiber cloth is attached to one bottle with glue that is impossible to remove and then both bottles are stuck together with the same glue. This leaves the bottle long-term sticky which is impossible to remove. Read more
