I forgot my sunglasses before a road trip a few weeks ago and so bought a 
cheap pair to get me through until I could get back to my RayBans at a 
roadside stand for $5. The cheap sunglasses came with a little bag to carry 
them made out of microfibre lens cloth.

The little bag now contains a lens. It protects my Elamr from minor 
abrasion and is always handy to clean a lens if needs be. For most minor 
crap on the lens, I have a camel hair retractable lipstick case brush which 
I bought from a Mary Kay dealer or some such years ago. Most dust is no 
more of a bother than bubbles in the glass. Adds to that glow.
