Is it undamaging to use eye cup lense cleaner on camera lenses? Will it damage or affect the camera lens contained


Will it damage or affect the camera lens contained by any way?
Answers: 
Vintage Music is right. Eye glass cleaner might mess up the special coating on a camera lens, lead to they are different from eye glassses.
I personally wouldn't put any commercial juice on a lens. I'd breathe on it a bit for moisture and use lens tissue. Stores like Best buy might hold lens tissue, but small local cameras stores almost always hold it.
In 37 years I have never used any gooey on a camera lens. I use lens cloths from Pentax and PhotoSilk. If there is any loose dust on the lens I brush it bad using a lens brush. It looks like a tube of lipstick and I've have it 37 years.

Once your lens is clean, buy a Skylight filter for it and hang on to it on the lens except when using your polarizer. I'd much rather verbs or replace a filter than a lens.
Why not buy a "multi optical cleaning solution" from Giotto? Plus buy a microfiber cloth. Then you're set, you should be able to use it both for lens and goggles.

Here's some more info from Giotto site. It will depend on the eyeglass lens cleaner. There's really two big worries--1) abrasion and 2) detrimental the lens coating.

Some eyeglass cleaning fluids are not pure, so they can put microscopic scratches on the lens. And depending upon the formulation, it might mischief or take stale the lens multi-coating.

Thus, I would recommend that you stick with formulas designed for multi-coated camera lenses, as resourcefully as cloths designed for camera lenses (and not the silicone-impregnated lens cloths for eyeglasses).
