I am asking for a friend, so I am not sure what kind of paint it is. I am not even sure if the lens' are glass or some kind of plastic. Hope someone out there can answer me because my friend is blind without them!

I have tried glass cleaner, rubbing alcohol and vegetable oil. I haven't tried anything stronger for fear of ruining the lens'.

Lightly rub with denatured alcohol. Nothing else. If plastic lenses anything else could affect the plastic.

Depends on the paint and the glasses. If the lenses are glass, just wait for the paint to dry and then scratch it off with a fingernail or a razor blade or other smooth, sharp edge (not point) held at a low "shaving" angle. If the paint was enamal or other oil based paint, don't be afraid to use solvent (nail polish remover?) to remove any residue if necessary. If the paint was latex (water based) a 5 minute soak in hot water will soften it up for easy removal ---- However!, if the lenses are plastic, use a NON ABRASIVE citrus based cleaner (not just citrus scented soap, and spot test it first to make sure it doesn't melt the plastic!) for either type of paint... and DO NOT rub! Apply the stuff with a cotton ball, let it soak for several minutes to soften the paint, then gently smear (with your finger) a drop of liquid dishwashing detergent all over the lenses before rinsing them clean under hot running water. Repeat if necessary. Have fun, and tell your friend to wear goggles next time. :-)

Painters use lots of mineral turpentine to mix paints and they got paints on their glasses too when they are painting.
So,try turp!

Alcohol on a cotton ball, it is safe for both plastic, as well as glass

I have used a product called "Goo Gone" on my glasses. It is oily and orange scented, and did no damage to my plastic lenses.

I asked employees at my eyedoctor this and she said no. But I think she may have been lying so I would buy new glasses. That greedy *****!
