To remove lenses from safety glasses, hold the frame and gently flex it to pop the lenses out.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Grip: Hold the safety glasses frame firmly in one hand.
-
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.
-
Dislodge: As you flex the frame, the lens should begin to dislodge from its groove.
-
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.
