How To Pop Sunglasses Lenses Out

 

 

The procedure of removing the lenses from a pair of sunglasses is easy and only requires a very short time.

Soak In Lukewarm Water

In order to ensure an easy removal of the lenses from the sunglasses, it is important to soak them in lukewarm water for around two minutes. Care should be taken to ensure that the water is not too hot, as it can damage the material of the sunglass frame.

Soaking the sunglasses in the lukewarm water results in the expansion of the plastic material of the frame. This expansion makes it easier to remove the lenses from the frame without causing any damages to the structural frame of the eyewear.

Put Pressure On Lens Edges

After soaking the frame for around two minutes, the frames are held within the hands and suitable pressure is exerted on the edges of the lenses, to loosen them from the frame. A cracking noise would indicate that the lenses have been loosened from the frame.

Exerting initial pressure on the edges of the lenses is advisable rather than trying to remove the entire lens at once.

Exert Pressure To Remove Lenses

After loosening the lenses from the frame, pressure is exerted on the lenses to remove them completely from the sunglass frame.

Examine Frame For Damages

After the removal of the original lenses, it is ideal to check the sunglass frame for any cracks or other forms of damage which might have been caused to the casing during the process.

Whether it is the need to replace damaged or scratched lenses with an un-spoilt pair, or just replace the original for a tinted and stylish pair, the process of removing lenses from a sunglass frame requires patience and care.
