Ir blaster no good since 5.0

Any way to fix it?

Wipe off the top of the phone? Seriously though, is the lens scratched? I use SURE Universal remote daily from across the living room via my Note 3 on Verizon 5.0 and have no issues. Might try resetting cache/data on whatever app you're accessing the IR blaster from to see if that makes a difference too.
