A member asked:
Is it normal for glasses lenses to turn yellowish with time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Some lenses are made of plastics which can yellow with age and uv exposure. Some are photochromic which gradually can build up a deposit which appears yellowish brown. Clear glass lenses do not become yellow with age.
