Life Eyeglasses and AR coatings

**007** · 10-22-2015, 03:47 PM

How many of you lens wearers get the anti reflective coatings? I just got a new pair and had AR put on it for the first time. I'm finding them to be a complete pain in the ass to clean. Whenever I clean them I just get nothing but smearing. I'm tempted to send them back and have them redone with no coating at all.

Am I doing something wrong or is this normal for anti reflective coatings?

The other thing I keep hearing is that AR requires a liquid for cleaning rather than dry cleaning them like I usually do. This smearing is even worse when I use a lens cleaner solution from the eye doctors office.
