Possibly they calculate you would need a new prescription by then anyway.
Everything is an opportunity so when I scratched mine I just renewed the
lenses into the old frames. Got super light weight plastic lenses with
anti-scratch anti-glare anti this and that, everything coating from one of
those instant places, (they can do any lenses, but they are cheap cos they
only do restricted range frames). Was pretty cheap, took two days as lenses
were not their standard type, but otherwise no hassle.

Hi Jason,
If it's anything like my perscription anti-reflective coating stripping may
make it worse - left a hazy film behind. I tried that after the dog
scratched one of my lenses and we thought it might be just the coating. The
optician did say they could have been recoated but not with a scratch. Also
I was surprised to learn the coating is only expected to last 3 years or so.

Subject: [TN] OTC-Sunglasses coating
I have a question involving sunglasses that I thought maybe the experts
here that work with optics lenses or the chemical gurus could answer.
I have a pair of sunglasses that have gotten something on the lenses, I
don't know what. The reflective coating has been damaged extensively. The
company that manufactured these sunglasses has been bought by someone else
and there is no way to get my hands on replacement lenses. These are VERY
expensive shades, keep in mind, so I really want to fix these. What would
be the best chemical to just go ahead and strip the remaining reflective
coating off of these? If I can accomplish this, then would there be any way
to recoat the reflective coating? or send them off for recoating??? Any
help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason Gregory
