    • With the Oculus facing up, twist the right lens clockwise and lift it out. Repeat for the left lens twisting counterclockwise instead.

    I had a second hand unit… A lenses were marked and scratched… B lenses still had covers on and were new… so…. I swapped the lenses as they are the same glass… just the B housing is shallower… took 2 minutes and I now have clean, smooth and crystal vision A mounts…. like new.
