Why are my glasses peeling off?

Question

I am using glasses for 23 years now and since I have started getting anti reflection coating they have been peeling off every two years, so I have been replacing. This year I said enough is enough and bought glassed without anti reflection coating. After 6 months they are again peeling off what can be the reason. How can I prevent this from happening? Can I ask optician to cover the expenses of replacing my glasses?

Answer 1

Maybe there is an anti-scratch coating on your lenses and that is what is coming off.

Answer 2

Are you using the wrong kind of cleaner?  Never use anything like detergent on them. DO ask your doc. to recomend a cleaner.  It is sold in the eye doc. office most of the time.

Answer 3

I had this problem as well and finally just stopped getting the anti reflective coating.  It may have been due to our hard water which I used to rinse the glasses.  Maybe to the hard water and rubbing them to hard to clean them.  The doc replaced them a few times.  Finally I gave up.

Answer 4

It sounds like they're having trouble applying the coating.

Get your glasses somewhere else or online.

Once you have your prescription you can order so much cheaper on the web.
