How Do You Remove Lenses From Safety Glasses?

Published in Safety Equipment 2 mins read

To remove lenses from safety glasses, hold the frame and gently flex it to pop the lenses out.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  1. Grip: Hold the safety glasses frame firmly in one hand.

  2. Flex: Gently flex the frame near the lens you want to remove. Apply pressure outwards. Different safety glasses have varying frame flexibility, so start with gentle pressure.

  3. Dislodge: As you flex the frame, the lens should begin to dislodge from its groove.

  4. Remove: Once a portion of the lens is free, carefully pull it out from the frame.

Important Considerations:

  • Material: The flexibility of the frame depends on the material it's made of. Some frames are more rigid than others.
  • Lens Type: Some safety glasses have lenses that are easier to remove than others. Lenses designed for frequent replacement (e.g., in modular systems) will be easier to pop out.
  • Force: Avoid applying excessive force, as this could damage the frame or the lens.
  • Replacement: When replacing the lenses, align the new lens with the groove in the frame and gently snap it into place. Make sure the lens is securely seated.
