Default Eyeglass lens cleaner

Does anyone have a DIY formula for cleaning coated eyeglass lenses? Is
Windex spray OK?

Thanks

1 drop dish detergent
1/2 oz (15 ml or 3 tsp) isopropyl alcohol

4 oz (125 ml or 1/2 cup) water

Note: water - alcohol ratio is 8 water to 1 alcohol. Adjust detergent as

required for amount of the previous ingredients. Spray on lenses and dry
with a microfibre cloth from Optometrist.

We have used this recipe for several years and it works great. About once a
week, you

need to wash the microfibre cloth as follows: Soak cloth in water and a
drop of dish detergent for a few minutes.

Agitate in the solution and then rinse thoroughly under the tap. Keep the
cloth clean or tiny specks

of dirt could scratch the lenses.
