Does anyone have a DIY formula for cleaning coated eyeglass lenses? Is Windex spray OK?

Thanks

I don't have coated glasses but I have always cleaned mine by holding under tap water to remove grit, moistening my fingers with soap (either hand soap or dish soap), rubbing on lenses, rinsing off and drying with tissue.

Using solvents on plastic lenses is looking for trouble and even with glass lenses, coatings are plastic based.
