Photosensitive lenses and hot fires...

[SeaDawg]

It's campfire season again.

 

Over the years, I have wrecked several pairs of expensive lenses over a hot grill in my restaurant, and cooking over hot campfires. My optician confirmed several years ago that the lenses can warp and crackle over high heat.

 

I've taken to wearing old glasses, or inexpensive single vision, normal lenses  when working over a very hot fire. Just an FYI. I love my photosensitive, auto changing lenses, most of the time.

I've never thought about that.  I've had to switch back to glasses from contacts, so thanks for the heads up.
