Call your eye doctor and ask. It will depend on the type of lens you have. I'm sure they will tell what & how to do it at no charge. And if they don't do it free of charge, I'd look into getting a new optometrist.

Request: Crazy Glue on Eyeglasses

Archived on 10/16/2009

I accidentally spilled crazy glue on my lens while trying to repair my glasses. How can I remove the glue?

If the lens is glass, you can chip it off with a razor. If they are plastic, you're sunk. (12/10/2008)

Acetone removes super glue on anything, but I would check with my optometrist in regard to lenses. (12/11/2008)

Upon being told by optical shops there was no repair, I tried methyl ethyl keytone (MEK). I wiped with it for ten seconds and then sprayed with 409 to cease the reaction. After a few sessions of the above, they turned out good as new. (01/24/2009)

RE: Crazy Glue on Eyeglasses

Is it on the lens or the frames? A solvent for crazy glue is sold in most stores that sell crazy glue. I'm not sure if it should be used on the lens though, especially if you have plastic ones. Check with your eye care professional and see if they know of a way to clean the lens safely. (07/05/2006)

Crazy Glue

Depending on where the glue is, I would suggest using nail polish remover. I used to work in an eyeglass place and we used that to remove just about anything from the lenses, I never tried it on the frames. I would also suggest taking it to a place and seeing what they can do (most times it should be free or at least a very small charge). (07/05/2006)

I would be very careful about using nail polish remover or any solvent. Most lenses are made of plastic rather than glass these days because it's so much lighter. I would call the store where you got them and ask their advice. (07/11/2006)

I just rubbed alcohol with a lens cleaner and it worked very well. It took some time though. (06/10/2008)
