ok by me

Have at it.
-
I don't see a problem.
-
No. The chemicals used in dishwashing are corrosive and abrasive and will damage the glasses and frames. Additionally residual chemicals could severely injure your eyes if contact were made.
-
No, that is not advisable.
-
No, I would think not. Not unless you want the lenses to separate from your frames, the lenses scratched, etc. A soft cloth and a little vinegar water (or windex, if you don't mind the chemicals) should do the job.
-
No!
-
No. Most eyeglass frames are composite and not completely metal. The temperature may melt them. Possibly, it may warp the lenses or damage them also.
-
Only if they are "disheye"lenses.
-
No, but haven't you got an old pair to experiment with? Be interesting to see what comes out. I'd predict that the lenses would turn white, the plastic would discolor, and the screws would rust. Also be sure to fasten it down so it doesn't make the arm jam, or get caught in the drain.
-
No way! They're not designed to take the heat/detergent and would probably fall apart, or at best get scratched.
-
NO why would you want to put them into the dish washer, clesan them in the shower instead i wear mine the shower ansd they are cleaned really well, good luck.
-
No, not a very sensible idea.
-
No. I don't think so.

NEVER put your eyeglasses in a dishwasher! The only thing that will not damage your lenses is specific lens cleaner (for glasses, camera lenses, telescopes, etc). No windex, no water, no hand soap, no shirt tail. All these things will damage your lenses... Sorry for the slap on the wrist, haha, but i used to work in an eye office and we got TONS of people coming in wanting to know why their glasses were scratched, they used dishsoap, windex, kleenex, etc.

No. I tend to keep my glasses clean by washing them with shampoo. It does not seem to do any harm.
-
No unless you want broken lenses.
