  Absolutely! Windex is fine for camera lenses, binoculars, etc., but DO NOT
put it on scratch resistant glasses. It will remove the coating completely.
I found this out the hard way years ago. I knew not to use it but was
cleaning a piece of plate glass for something I was framing and accidentally
got over-spray on my glasses. Just a tiny bit but each droplet left a pit in
the coating.
   While on the topic of glasses; are they not the most over-priced thing on
the market? I mean I can buy an iPod that has more computing power than that
used for Apollo 11 to go to the moon for about $150. Yet my glasses made of
two pieces of ground plastic/ glass (by a technique not much changed since
Galileo was in the business) and some bent wire will run over $300. What
gives?
