yea it seems like something was caught in between the AR coating and the lens?

thanks for the feedback :)

normally, i wouldn't hesitate, but i don't have any insurance plan this year, so it's all out of my pocket!

I recently found a pair of Kio Yamato frames at the local optometrist, and fell in love with the design. Unfortunately the titanium frames are about $350. Anyone ever use these? They seem really...

thanks very much for the responses.

i think my frames fit well enough not to do any drastic alteration to it. they just need slightly more adjusting than my flexon frames.

i'm starting to...

yea actually it is tightened on the head behind ears already.

thanks for the suggestion... i might look into the silicon nose pads for zyl :)

Other than further tightening the frames at the ears, is there a way to keep plastic frames on one's nose? Do they happen to make any type of material to apply to the nose to give it more grip?

i...

thanks very much, i'll go get it replaced asap :)

yep, it is the size of a thumbprint (the size of a circle with several horizontal 'scratches'), near the center. the prescription is -5.00, and they were the high-index transitions.

thank you...

as stated in my first post, the ultimate question is: "Is this a sign of a poorly applied AR coating, and is it worth taking it back to get replaced?"

thanks for the feedback. luckily i have a year's warranty on this, so if i find that it really bothers me, i'll talk to him about it :)

actually i took it back immediately and we were unable to see see the scuff. the store has full size windows all around so it is very bright there and hard to see any scratches. i didn't want to...

I received my first Transitions lenses with AR coating recently, and am very pleased with them.

There is some kind of a scuff mark on it that is irremovable, however (i.e., i tried cleaning it). ...

thanks for the reply.

when would you think a scratch would be problematic? deep scratches that you can easily see when held up against the light? or the very minor hairline scratches (from bad...

I was just wondering whether minor scratches on glasses lenses have adverse affects on your eye/vision? i'm talking about light scratches that you can't notice when you are wearing them, but can see...

Hi Diane

Thanks so much for the explanation.
So is drying out/becoming brittle not much of a problem for the higher-end designer frames? (assuming they are using the good zyl?) Out of curiosity,...

Does the quality of the Zyl / acetate used in frames vary quite a bit between manufacturers?

I've had cheap-o frames get brittle in the past. I was wondering if the higher-quality, designer...
