If the lens is particularly dirty or smudged, then you can purchase lens cleaning fluid at almost any store.Wipe the lens with the lens cleaning fluid, following the directions.Make sure that you don't put the lens cleaning fluid right on the lens.Instead, you must put the lens cleaning fluid on the lens cleaning paper, which you will then use to apply the lens cleaning fluid to the lens.
