goo gone?

I have used acetone on my lenses and it hasn't hurt thrm. I think a q-tip w/nail polish remover would do the tricky nicely.

If the glasses are glass, use a razor blade.

Get Uri Geller to bend it off there with his minde.

Uri's powers don't work on anything that's not a spoon or a watch. However, he might be able to bend a spoon against the glasses to scrape it off.

i think if they're plastic then there is some weird reaction and the glue and the lens are as one now. it's not a case of it being "on" the lens, it's in there. glass, i dunno.

ring an optometrist and ask them.

Try scraping it off with a plastic item (maybe a comb, picnic-style knife, etc)that's hard enough to scrape but won't scratch the lens. I've gotten Gorilla Glue off of my formica kitchen table that way.

if you have any coatings, call a glasses place first - acetone (which is basically all goo gone is, I think) could ruin them
