ispoilmyself asked:
I am asking for a friend, so I am not sure what kind of paint it is. I am not even sure if the lens’ are glass or some kind of plastic. Hope someone out there can answer me because my friend is blind without them!
I have tried glass cleaner, rubbing alcohol and vegetable oil. I haven’t tried anything stronger for fear of ruining the lens’.

Lightly rub with denatured alcohol. Nothing else. If plastic lenses anything else could affect the plastic.

Painters use lots of mineral turpentine to mix paints and they got paints on their glasses too when they are painting.
So,try turp!

I have used a product called “Goo Gone” on my glasses. It is oily and orange scented, and did no damage to my plastic lenses.
