Product Description
Purosol Optical is part of Origin Labs' line of advanced, enzyme-based cleaning products specifically formulated for today's advanced lenses. The cleaner is engineered to work on the molecular level, actually breaking the bonds that dust, dirt and grime use to grip the lens surface. Purosol Optical is specifically designed to protect high-end multi-coated lenses and other optical devices, including: fashion eyewear, cameras, microscopes, telescopes, binoculars, gun sights, as well as CD and DVD surfaces. Camera lenses are covered with multi-layer lens coatings to reduce glare, ghosting and other aberrations. Traditional cleaners contain harmful ingredients such as ammonia, alcohol, silicone or other harsh solvents. These chemicals gradually strip away the special coating on these products and can completely destroy the expensive lens coatings; or even worse - leave a temporary coating or detergent which continues to do damage after use. In contrast, cutting-edge, enzyme-based Purosol Optical acts to break up the bonding molecules which hold dirt, salt, oil and grime to the lens surface - without damaging the lens coating. As part of its unique formula, Purosol Optical neutralizes the molecular chargeson the lens surface, which normally attracts dust and dirt particles, thereby extending the life of the cleaning. While this effect diminishes over time, the particles which do come to rest on the lens can be easily repelled b

 Best optical cleaner for your lens. October 22, 2008

I've been using "regular" lens cleaning solution for my SLR lens with microfiber cloth for years, and I didn't have much complaint. It's just those solutions probably are mostly distilled water, just didn't see those solutions do much on the lens itself. I just cleaned the lens with gentle elbow grease I guess... Then I heard about Purosol from my colleagues and thought to give it a try. It sprays like any other solution, but it does wipe off dirt and prints without much rubbing at all. Apply the solution to the lens (or a piece of microfiber cloth) and sort of very lightly rub the lens with circular motion, and the dirt disappears. I guess it is water-based so it does not dry immediately, but it does not leave any visible streak at all. One thing I am very impressed about is after I wipe the lens, if I blow my breath on the lens to see streaks, there are a lot fewer streaks than what I would see with other solution, or water alone. All I need to do is to very lightly buff the surface of the lens, then I don't see ANY streaks. This cleaner is totally worth the money and to protect your investment in lens, there is no better cleaning solution out there.

Lens cleaner is something I use every day due to the fact that I have approximately $550 worth of eyeglasses perched on my nose. With age comes more and more expensive glasses - I'm up to "high refractive index" lens (to avoid the coke-bottle lens syndrome), progressives (to avoid bi- and tri-focal lines), transition (to darken outside), non-scratch, anti-reflective (cut glare), titanium frames (lightweight). With all this technology perched on my nose, I understandably want to treat these marvels of innovation with care and avoid scratches and damage. To that end, I've used "anti-reflective-coating-safe" cleaners and microfiber cloths for years.
Purosol Molecular Lens Cleaner is impressive...and different from other cleaners. When you first spray it on a lens, you know you're working with a different cleaner from those you pick up at the local vision center. I was surprised to see the spray bead up on the lens; other cleaners may foam slightly and there is evidence of surfactants (the other sprays spread across the lens with no beading). This beading of the Purosol had me concerned at first (no solvent effect of breaking surface tension), but not to worry. The product insert states "Purosol's solvent-free formula used the latest in green chemistry to break the molecular bonds that dust, dirt and grime use to adhere to the lens" and it works beautifully. I ran several tests where, after an active day, and plenty of dust, cooking spatters or high pollen counts, I tried regular solvent-based cleaner on one lens, Purosol on the other. In every case, the Purosol lens was spotless with no streaks - every bit as clean as the other lens, but Purosol does it using, as the manufacturer states, "organic plant extracts instead of traditional solvents and contains no alcohol, ammonia or detergent and is free of silicone, graphite and glycerin. It is also streak-free and leaves an anti-static barrier which repels dust..." The bottle of Purosol comes with its own cleaning cloth and it seems to work better with the included cloth than the microfiber cloth my lenses came with.
With regards to the "dust repellent" claim - I don't know. For several days, I cleaned my lenses in the morning, again, one with Purosol and one with a solvent-based lens cleaner, then went about my daily business. By the end of the day, I would examine both lenses to see if I could detect any difference in the amount of fine dust particles on the lens - there wasn't a difference that I could detect with the naked (and very near-sighted) eye. Nevertheless, I wouldn't discount this cleaner for that reason. It does an extremely good job of getting the lenses spotless, leaves no streaks and does it without toxic chemicals. That makes it a winner in my book.

I purchased a bottle of Purosol Optical cleaner upon the recommendation of a Nikon rep for cleaning my expensive Pro glass. The product works wonders, it removes finger prints, water marks, pollens etc. completely and without streaking. As a few others have mentioned the cloth that is part of the kit can leave lint behind, but I have found that the Kinetronics Panther and Tiger cloths do wonders in combination with Purosol.
Unlike many of the cheaper lens cleaning products Purosol does is *not* solvent based. The solvents in these products run the risk of damaging lens and filter coatings. I was more than happy to find an effective quality cleaner that would not pose a risk to those coatings on expensive lenses and filters.

I use this cleaner on a coated GPS screen because it is alcohol free and doesn't damage the anti glare coating. I also use it on professional camera lenses for the same reason. In my opinion, this is the highest quality cleaner I could find. Not cheap so use sparingly. I recommend the micro fiber cloth to go with it.

This is the safest cleaner you can get. It won't hurt lens coatings, and generally is streak-free (except when my oily nose comes in contact with the lens).
