On second thoughts, maybe it is not so dangerous, as the glass itself is not 
directly exposed (unless the coatings are porous) since the lenses are 
coated.  I had read somewhere to keep silicone lubricant away from glass 
because it may molecularly bond somehow and since the risk is not worth it to 
me I will continue avoiding it.
