Nicholl asked: How do I get super glue off eye glasses? I tried to fix my glasses with super glue, but I got it on the lens. My lenses aren’t glass, they are plastic, so I can’t use nail varnish remover because the acetone will affect the plastic. It’s cheap super glue. Please help.
Super glue hardens to a form of plastic, so removing it from plastic surfaces can be a challenge. There are ways that this sticky substance can be removed that do not require the use of acetone. Of course, if the lenses are glass, it is fine to use acetone. The information is easy to follow and readily available in our guide How to Remove Super Glue from Plastic and Vinyl. For plastic lenses and frames, use the method given for plastics. For glass lenses and metal frames, use the method provided for vinyl.

If it’s plastic, soaking in hot water is the best solution. If it’s glass, you can use polish remover, however it will strip any coating that you have on it as well.
The best way to remove superglue from acrylic lens-based glasses is to polish the lens with T-cut or some other type of polish.

Out of the above four solutions for removing superglue from plastic lenses, I strongly recommend the fourth. Nice job Shaun, not only is toothpaste the least harmful, I guarantee it will remove nicotine stains from your fingers and everyone can pretty much confer that it successfully removes several different different substances from your teeth! The slightly gritty kind works a bit better than the gel. Good luck!
Toothpaste does not work – I just tried it.
