Mine is glass and very useful...love the extra power on field of work. Takes a bit of practice to know how n' where to hold your head.. once you conquer that...your are good to go!!

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

Apologies for not answering earlier.. Although I have not used it in a while, as it is a spare, the overall piece is light( due to the plastic frame construction) and I am near positive the Lens is glass.. Either way, it works when needed and was not pricy at all. Still would recommend it..

No, they are not glass lenses. They are cheapie plastics without any sort of magnification.

Plastic. The entire housing is made of the same stuff, aside from the inside reflector and the mount.

The material around the lenses which fits around your eyes, is heavy duty, durable molded plastic. All lenses appear to be glass. All metal looking parts are metal (magnifying eye-glass frames, metal fasteners around the main eye lenses,etc. The only exception to this is the decorative gold/silver gears on the sides--they are attached to the main molded plastic frames and they are plastic as well. The strap to hold them on your head is adjustable 1/2 inch elastic--but can be easily replaced with more durable material if you plan to wear these with regularity. These are very sturdily made.

It is made of a high qyaility plastic. The material is similar to the body of the Nikon camera. The connection to the camera is secure. There is a roller that will seat a screw into the tripod connection. I am very pleased with this device.

It is plastic, but according to Ken Rockwell (kenrockwell dot com ) and his very glowing review of this lens, it is "good" plastic. (That's why it is so reasonable in price) But according to Ken's review, the optics are superior to any other Crop Sensor UWA out there - including the much more expensive 10-22mm from Canon.UPDATE 29 Aug 14: Now that I have had this lens for a couple months, I will say that, while it is plastic, it doesn't feel "cheap." The mount is machine-grade plastic and fits very nicely on my 7D. For the price, this is a heck of a 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.

There is no glass inside this adapter, it is all metal. I have used it to adapt a rokinon lens to my panasonic G-1 4/3rds camera and it works perfectly.

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.

Yes the lens the top is made from glass and is so easy to repleace it becouse is stick with double tape so just heat it up with hair dryer and u can take it out and repleace it in same way with double tape or u can use glue as well

They are glass lens and metal frame, but be careful, once you scratch it, you'll have to get another one.

The actual lens? Or the material that holds the lens? Everything in this set is metal. Hard for me to tell if the lens is glass or plastic. But it works pretty well.... only really good for far away telephoto type stuff.

I don't know what your old lens is, mine was a screw mount. No, there is no glass, it is just a metal ring.

The lens is of good quality im not sure if it is glass or not. I believe it is. There are no instructions and there is no extra double sided tape to hold the glass down to the assembly. Things to consider before you start you repairs. I put a dab of elmer's to give it a proper hold. It seems to be working okay... but i would replace whatever you are going to replace soon because I think my lens got some mold on on it...
