Best Answer To Optical Question
Yes, the green color is usually a result of your skin reacting to nickel and other inexpensive metals that most (not all) frames are made out of. You can do one of three things: You can look for frames that are either titanium or stainless steel, although some people can still have a reaction to stainless. Stainless can still corrode, but titanium usually clears this right up. I have yet to have a patient who cannot wear titanium. You could also opt to go with a plastic or zyl frame. This eliminates the possibility of any metal coming in contact with your face and therefore, gets rid of the corrosion problem. Lastly, you could have your frame poly-coated. Its a clear coating that your frame is dipped in (before putting the lenses in.) It covers the entire frame and puts a thin, clear coating between you and the metal on the frame. But this is not a permanant fix; eventually the coating will wear through and you'll have to have it reapplied. My husband has this problem with his frames. He is so sensitive that even his belt buckle corrodes and gives him a rash. Where the metal bridge touches his nose, he gets a sore patch and I put clear nail polish on the bridge every few months and works fine. We did not know he had a nickel allergy when we picked out his glasses. So now I know for next time to get him a titanium frame. That's usually the way to go. Hope this helps.

Answer 1I don't know how to prevent it, but you can replace the little plastic cover part of the nose pad. I think I saw replacements at walmart. ?cPath=797osCsid=c2193924f8009a2cbe851fbdc6a02d96gclid=CLWlh6WEn48CFQSHHgodQB9YTg
Answer 2wash your face
Answer 3The greenish color is most likely because your natural body oils are interacting poorly with the metal your glasses are made of. Your glasses probably have a significant amount of nickel in them. Many people react to nickel, which turns the nosepads green. A stainless steel, plastic, or other hypoallergenic frame will do better for you next time.
Answer 4The greenish color is the corosion of cheap metals. You can have them replace but it is likely to occur again. Look for Titanium fram or switch to plastic frame to prevent corrosion.
