Ok, since this is about safety glasses I guess I can ask about it on the shop list. My employer provides safety glasses (and I appreciate it, really) purchased from some mail order company to keep co

Another option would be to ask your optometrist to send you a paper towel dribbled with the stuff in a ziplock bag. No travel time for you, and you become his lifelong adoring customer.

Personally, I'd call them back and say you're going to return the glasses as defective if they don't tell you how to remove the paint. If the lenses are glass, then likely lacquer thinner will remov

Did'ja pay for them with a credit card? That gives you ALL the rights in the transaction. Call them up and say they're "defective" or "not as described", demand they make it right, and say you're goi

Unlikely. Safety glasses have pretty-well-all gone over to polycarbonate lenses. You can hit them with a hammer, but they do scratch easily. -- Phil Ethier West Side Saint Paul Minnesota USA 1962 Tri

Perhaps I'm being overly conservative; but it's my understanding that there are different kinds of plastics used in making plastic eyeglass lenses, and they take different cleaning procedures. Phil

Safety glasses, sports goggles, and cheap glasses are made using polycarbinate lenses. While it's tough, and mostly unbreakable, its optical properties suck. There are much better plastics for regula
