    How to mark on Trilogy Trivex Factory AR coated lenses?

    Hi,

    What type of marking pen can I use to mark on Trilogy Trivex Factory Applied Anti-Reflective Coated finished single vision lenses? I have tried Sharpie markers, but the marks don't adhere at all! Also, what type of solvent (ie. isopropyl alcohol?? ) can be used to remove the mark from your suggested marker?

    In advance, thank you!

    I prefer a freshly sharpened Bowie knife. :p While the marks are a bit difficult to remove, I don't find it a problem as I toss all Trivex right into the bin where it belongs! HAHA!!! :shiner::cheers::cheers::cheers:

    Only because it's superior in *E-V-E-R-Y* way! And cheaper... And much more widely available... And get you more dates... etc. etc. etc. Plus, poly requires a much MUCH bigger Bowie knife to mark it up. :D:cheers:
