As a VR lens reviewer and content creator, I’ve tried countless cleaning methods. When I received PSVR2 prescription lenses from ANNKUTVR, I knew I had to avoid the usual mistakes and give fellow players the most effective cleaning guide. Before jumping into the steps, let’s or highlight the common pain points all PSVR2 users face when cleaning their lenses:

Common Pain Points When Clean PSVR2 Lenses

Smearing instead of cleaning: Many users simply spread oils or fog around rather than removing them.
Risklensratching: Using the wrong cloth or aggressive rubbtog can ruin the delicate anti-glare coating. -From reddit
Worse clarity over time: Some cleaning agents or methods degrade lens quality in the long run.
Uncertainty about safe cleaning tools: Players are confused between microfiber cloths, lens pens, sprays, or even breath and spit.
Limited guidance from official manual: Sony’s instructions are often vague—”wipe with a soft, dry cloth”—leaving room for damage.

Important Notice from the Official Sources

Borrowed from Sony’s official cleaning guidelines and a trusted forum (via GTPlanet):

“Wipe only with a soft, dry cloth made specifically for cleaning lenses.” Do not use paper towels or tissues… Leaving water droplets or dirt on the lenses may cause deterioration or degradation.”

This aligns with The Shortcut’s caution:

“Do not apply any volatile substances such as alcohol, benzene… or chemically treated cloths.”

Users Say: Community Feedback on Cleaning or Not

Here are some user insights from Reddit that illustrate real-world experiences:

“Microfiber cloth is best, easily… never ever use any liquids. Use it dry.”
— FutureSkill5622

“Do not use a lens pen… the lenses are so soft. The only thing you can trust is a microfiber cloth (blow away dirt first).”
— all_aboards

These comments reinforce the mantra: Keep them dry, soft, and simple.
