Here's a question.
I recently got a new pair of eyeglasses, and these things seem to get smudged/dirty/dusty incredibly quickly, relative to my previous pairs. Especially at the tops of the lenses, where my eyebrows make contact with the glass. It's incredibly annoying, because it means I have to take the glasses off every half hour or so to clean them, and when I clean them, it seems just to move the smudges around, not get rid of them.
They seem to have some sort of coating, not sure if it's nonscratch or what, that looks kinda iridescent purplish/green if you hold the lenses to the light at the right angle. I'm guessing this is what's causing the problem, because I don't remember seeing this on any previous pair of glasses I've had.
Anyone know how to get rid of the coating, and/or keep them clean? I'm tempted to call my optician about this, but I'm not sure he'll do anything, because this is actually the second pair I've had to have remade (first time, optician's sloppy handwriting caused the prescription to come back wrong; second time, he made some sort of entry error which caused them to be wrong).
