Hello Brooklyn ,

It seems to me all the older gentlemen who have had decades of experience don't even hesitate or think twice when it comes to cleaning optics, even the ridiculously expensive ones that they own.<<<<<
Hi , I'm one of the older "gentlemen" your talking about and I can tell you its always good to think twice .
Decades of experience ? To do what , use a Q-tip and cleaning fluid ? Cleaning eyepieces is not a skill but a process . And as such is open to flaws ,flaws that can turn a fine eyepiece into less than desirable in one stroke.
I do feel some people are a little to timid about it but when your talking about an eyepiece that is not replaceable it may lead one to think twice .
