I have questions to see if anyone else has seen this. I picked up my Crizal Alize lenses on Saturday, and by Sunday--after two cleanings with the provided cloth--I noticed that there were dozens of "mirco-scratches" on the lenses. You can't see these scratches when you just hold up the lens to the light--they look like dust specks. But when you examine the lens closer, you can see that these "specks" are actually very small scratches.
These mini scratches make no difference for my vision--I can't tell they exist when I look through the lenses. However, I'm worried that if there are this many scratches after only two days, a few months from now they will affect my vision. My previous glasses were Crizal, and I didn't notice this problem with them (although they did scratch up over time).
Questions:
--Are these kind of micro-scratches inevitable and common, even on AR-scratch resistant lenses like Crizal? Or is this unusual and a sign that the glasses weren't made correctly (i.e., I should return them)?
--Since they don't impair my vision, should I just ignore them?
--Since these scratches happened almost immediately and with proper care, should I just take them back to the provider and ask for an exchange? I already had my glasses remade once (due to an improper prescription), so I'm reluctant to be "that guy" who keeps getting his glasses remade.
--Are there any good alternatives to Crizal which protect from these kind of scratches? What kind of AR lenses are the most scratch resistant?
Any insights or comments would be appreciated.
