For plastic frames, heat can be a useful ally. Use a hair dryer to warm the frame, which can make the plastic more flexible. Be cautious not to overheat and damage the frame.

Following the heating, gently push the lens from the frame. If resistance persists, repeat the heating process until the lens can be easily removed.
