Can you use cleaner for glasses on camera lenses?

I use my shirt tails. Swirly bokeh eh?

I usually use my t-shirt but the front element of my 70-200 is a little grubby and it's not working on it. Maybe it's got good swirly bokeh though

Regular eyeglass cleaner is probably fine. I rarely clean my front element unless it's got crap splashed on it.

It's definitely important to clean if it's splashed in crap
:D
I tried my glasses cleaner and it's looking much better now.

Unless there's a special coating, I'd say anything that cleans glass is fine.
I'm also guilty of just using my t-shirt, accompanied when necessary by moist breath.

I just got the cheapo canon ef-s 10-18mm lens. Not had a chance to use in anger yet, as it's arrival signalled the end of the dry weather with nice sunsets

All modern lenses are coated. Do NOT use Windex or other ammonia-based cleaner.
A handful of moist sand will take off any grunge.

Sand, I hadn't thought about using that. I've got a bag full of the stuff outside. Might be a bit dry with all the sun we've had recently.
