Replacement Lens for O-Like "Cute" 50mW?

I cannot seem to get my lens clean on my o-like "cute" green laser. No matter what I do (lens pen brush, air, micro-fibre, cue-tip+rubbing alcohol), there's always this "dust" around the emitted light-spot on the wall. There are no diffraction scratch lines or anything, just a ring of random blurred dots/etc. Unless someone here has another idea, I'm probably going to try and find a replacement lens. Here's a pic of it:

I've looked all over the place and can't seem to find the same size/type of lens. Hopefully one of you guys can help me out here.

Thank you!!

You can buy a replacement lens from anyone of the following;

DTR, cajunlasers, Jayrob, and survivallasers. DTR and Jayrob sell "G" lenses which will be great, but are quite expensive. You can buy a glass lens from SL or CL for a lot less, and it will work the same or better than the lens that was in there originally.

I'm a newb when it comes to lenses. Is there any specific size/type I need to buy to fit this? Are all lenses the same size/thread type, just different nM? Do I have to get a lens that directly pertains to my laser nM?

And a kind of off-topic question: I just bought an o-Like 250mW "Power Rock" Red laser. Who sells the best red laser glasses? Don't want to take any chances with this one. And what should I expect with the beam brightness? As bright as the green/same/less brightness? Sorry for going off my own topic, lol...

Thanks for the link. I'll probably end up getting that and some glasses.

And I figured 250mW would be as bright as my 50mW green at the least :( Maybe I should have asked before I bought it. I'm sure it's pretty bright in the night sky, no? I occasionally burn stuff but most of my laser usage is beaming the night sky.
