Can this product be used for gas permeable lenses? If not, any suggestions on one that can? Thanks!

It's the only product I use for my Ciba Vision Night Day lenses. I rinse them with it when I take them out at night, soak them in it overnight, and rinse them again with it before I insert them in the morning. I also use one or two drops in each lens as I put them on, though that's a bit tricky since the lenses are so thin they tend to curl up on themselves.

I wear hard lenses but not sure if they are gas permeable. But I have to use Unisol for them. I would ask this question from the technician who sold you the lenses. Or you could call Costco optical and they will tell you.

Absolutely...I've been using it for years. In fact, it's about the only product I can use as I'm allergic to ALL preservatives.

this stuff dries hard!! i would use a cheap chip brush and the toss it. if you wear glasses,be careful not to splash on them. like i said,this stuff dries hard and can ruin your (plastic lenses) eyewear. do cover/protect surrounding areas!! good luck.

There is a lot of advice online. Try running a piece of paper around the seams of the circular lens parts to clear out dust. Welcome to the disposable society.

I have no experience of that, so I can't answer your question. I used it on glasses worn inside a helmet in a race car--worked great for that.

Not exactly sure. I used it on a backpack strap. I would try sone type of small foam wedge behind the lens to force it away from your body. If I am not mistaken I believe the manufacturer sell something along these lines.

It would remove scratches from uncoated glass or tempered glass lenses (dunno about plastic and polycarb). HOWEVER, by changing the thickness of the lens, it would alter its optical properties -- you could end up with a distorted view or a different prescription! I would NOT recommend using this or any polishing lroduct on eyeglass lenses.

You would have to check with your optometrist to see if they can craft the lenses to fit. I have two pair of these, one with plastic and one with perforated steel. It is rather difficult to get the lens out and back in because there is no screw or anything in the frame. The plastic is probably more pliable at elevated temperatures, which could be used to pop the lens out and back in. They were not designed to have the lenses removed.

definitely not! my eyeball was sucked up (the product is a tiny ventose) and didnt work at all, so it just works with hard lenses.

It seems to evaporate after a few hours and the lens is dry. It does not leave a detectable shell. To tell you the truth, after using this for 2 years, it is not preventing re-yellowing of my repolished plastic lenses on my BMW or VW. I am not sure if it does anything. To give it the benefit of the doubt, maybe it slows the yellowing process, but it sure doesn't prevent it.

I'm not a diver,and have only used this product on water filter O-Rings, but I can't imagine there being a better or cheaper product to preserve/lubricate/ rubber that is exposed to water......and a little bit goes a looooong way. I would recommend trying it, and at worst you'd have a less expense product for maintenance and storage of your gear...I believe it'd make an excellent seal though......and regarding deterioration of the rubber/silicone mask, silicone grease should be the lesser of other petroleum evils.

No problem with rubber seal. I live in a very windy and sandy place and every couple months I have to take it apart to clean behind outside lens. I once broke the belt clip getting out of the car and the service getting it replaced was something out of the 70's. Very friendly fast and free. I would buy another one any time.

Google search turns up a variety of suggestions depending on the brand of polarizing filter. Lots of entries, I read a dozen, none of those replies or comments were using LensPens. One said microfiber cloth, some said "special cleaning fluids" but not consistently 1 brand. Also suggested, "pec pads" and "cotton balls". The simple answer is the polarized coating on the lens is not LensPen suitable. Google, call or chat online to camera lens supplier depending on your brand of filter.

I would use a windex type of cleaner. This is rather thick and smelly...like gasoline or something. I actually do not like the product much. Ok for smaller thins like glasses.

Sorry this is late, but yes, I have had no problems with it other than dirt and water getting on it. I did follow another persons suggestion about coating the seams with silicone and I have had no issues with it. Works really well for the price. Hope this helps. I did not apply silicone to the lens, didn't want any distortion.

I used it on some clear plastic lenses. It left a bunch of small scratches all over. I wouldn't use it on anything I really cared about.

The short answer would be yes, but...for what the value is, you would be better off just using something like a newspaper plastic sleeve or any plastic bag and cut the end out to accomodate the lens. It truly is nothing more than a thin plastic sleeve with a drawstring in one end. I returned the ones I ordered and have used the newspaper sleeve in snow and heavy rain with great results. It is also a re-purposing of an item that would end up in our landfill. In Alaska we care about that a lot as most places do.

My husband said it is great on fiberglass, decals, & plastic lenses. Many other uses also. Another suggestion would be to contact the manufacturer.
