    I buy my glasses cheap off the internet and wear em till they are broken. They last me years and I’ve never had any coatings come off like this.

    I am now super curious if it’s something OP did, or if it’s a processing error (maybe technician put the coatings on in the wrong order) or what.

      Not really related to the post but how was the process of getting them off the internet? The cheapest price I can get would run me around 200USD for the whole deal: eye exam, new lenses and the specific frames I want. Hell if I can save money though I’m willing to try online

        I find glasses online are about half the price of a local place. $500+ locally, about $250 online for the same thing. Progressives drive most of the cost.

        If you can get am exam locally for a good price, you’re good to go. Just make sure they include the PD - Pupillary Distance, they sometimes don’t, though it’s part of your prescription and they’re required to supply it.
