What is that crap?

On the occasions where I wear my glasses instead of my contacts, I sometimes notice a build-up of green goo around the area of the nosepads where they screw into the glasses. What the fuck is that shit and where does it come from? The area never comes into contact with my skin and I'm pretty sure I'm not secreting weird green crap out of my face anyway (well, I hope not). I use my pocket knife to clean it off but it always builds back up. :wtf:

Anyone else run into little mysteries like this one?

Maybe it comes from the sweat and moisture that builds up around the nosepads when you wear your glasses.

I've had the same problem. I noticed it some time ago when I wore my glasses all the time.
Not sure what it is, yet.

I remember that from when I had a particular set of frames. What it was is beyond me, but if you ever figure it out, let me know. I'd suggest asking your eye doctor.

I've had this happen a few times, I just scrape the junk off.

I'm not positive, but I think that it's actually mildew. I took my glasses apart and cleaned that shit out, and it seemed very mildewey to me.

It's copper oxide, petina, like the stuff on the statue of liberty or old pennies.

Well, the thing for fixing scratches didn't work. At least my glasses smell minty fresh now.

Dolemite, I have this problem as well, it's some kind of algae/fungus/mildew buildup as others have suggested near as I can tell, probably from the swet and oils that come off your nose skin and rub onto the glasses nosepads.

Try some of the suggestions in the link TNLthugg posted, or just bring your glasses down to the local Pearlvision/Eyemasters/Lenscrafters and they should replace the nosepads for free. That's usually what I do :)

You either have leprosy or cancer, probably both. Ever see Akira? That's what'll happen to you a week from now. The only cure is to beat Super Seiyan Goku in an arm wrestling match.
