Quick Answer
Regularly clean and maintain your low power variable optics by wiping down the lenses and exterior with a soft cloth, storing them in a protective case, and applying a lens cleaning solution as needed. This helps prevent scratches and maintains optical clarity. Clean and inspect your LPVO at least once a week.
Cleaning and Maintenance
When cleaning your LPVO, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away loose debris. Avoid using paper towels or tissues, as these can scratch the lenses. For tougher stains, mix a small amount of lens cleaning solution with distilled water on a soft cloth, and gently wipe the affected area. Avoid applying excessive pressure, which can scratch the lenses. Cleaning and inspecting your LPVO at least once a week will help maintain its optical clarity and prevent damage.
Storage and Protection
Store your LPVO in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage. Choose a case that fits your LPVO snugly and has a soft, padded interior. Consider using a hard-sided case for added protection. When storing your LPVO, keep it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. This will help prevent lens hazing and maintain the optical clarity of your LPVO.
Inspection and Repair
Regularly inspect your LPVO for signs of wear and tear, such as scratches, hazing, or fogging. If you notice any issues, address them promptly to prevent further damage. Consider consulting the manufacturer’s instructions for repair or maintenance procedures specific to your LPVO. If you’re unsure about how to repair or maintain your LPVO, consult a professional optician or the manufacturer’s customer support.
