does this otoscope have an optical glass lens or is it plastic?

Just looked and I believe it to be plastic. I have had mine for over a year and it is not scratched or hazy. This is a great otoscope and very good view.

They are plastic lenses. If you order 2 identical sets in the different strengths you can unscrew and trplace the lense

It appears to be plastic. it does not feel heavy enough to be glass. Check wBausch & Lomb to be certain. I love this product as I am so vision-impaired. I have 6 of these in various places; always 1 in my pocket. I use it all the time.

The lenses are pretty good quality much like ones your find in regular sunglasses. They are not glass but a quality plastic.

Yes it has the same magnification and focal length as a Professional Welch Allyn Otoscope. We used their lens as our prototype when deciding on the optimal magnification and focal length for ear exams

Its plastic but very clear and reflective. Much better than the older one I had.

I think it is plastic but seems to be a good grade of plastic. I have had mine for more than a year and it still looks new. I went back and looked this up and it says GLASS Extra-large 7.5" x 6.25" rectangular glass lens, optical-quality 5-diopter magnification

The lens was glass and is good quality. It actually looks as if it came from the factory.

This a lens is made of metal, some plastic and the optical elements are, of course made of glass. If you go in a store and take a look you will see that it is a sturdy lens worth every penny it costs

Basically the entire thing is plastic. When I first noticed that I did not want to buy it. After I purchased it I noticed that it was a very flexible but durable plastic. I've thrown this headset a few times and dropped it on the floor and it's somehow still fine. I'm a very clumsy person so this came as a surprise ;). If you do end up buying this headset, don't let it out of your sight and don't take it off your desk. Treat it like it is very frail plastic.

Only the lenses are glass! All else is very hard palmer type plastic. I think it is a pretty good night scope for the price. You get what you pay for when it comes to night scopes. Don't buy it and expect perfection.

Glass lens, glass body. Did come with an adapter pigtail from standard sealed beam to the Hella bulb.

I'm pretty sure the lens is plastic. It is very light weight. I have found it to work very well for my close-up beadwork

John, I just checked the camera and I do believe the lens is glass and is protected with plastic. It is a Leica lens.

The lenses appear to be glass, the case is plastic. I will add that this has been a very worthwhile addition for night spotting out to 100 yards.

It is not light weight cheap plastic. It's real optical glass. It has a long handle so it's easy to hold and balance.

These are a polycarbonate plastic lens sorry glass is almost non-existent now days with headlight assemblies.
