Kregerdoodle Posted June 28, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 28, 2009 a warning for folks with progresive lens glasses, I had mine in the hard case in the trunk for our 100+ degree ride, as I had my sunglasses on, when I got home, I noticed I couldn`t clean them, after looking close at them, I noticed that they are coming apart where the lenses change, I now have a line and little specs that look like they have chrystalized.... so its new glasses tomorrow, at least the lenses....I have never heard of this happening before..

Guest Saddletramp Posted June 28, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 28, 2009 I've worn these lenses as long as I have had to have dual perscriptions. Never had a problem. I wonder if it had something to do with heat and pressure while they were packed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kregerdoodle Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted June 28, 2009 They were in a hard case so it must have been the heat.... I don`t know....

MidlifeVenture Posted June 28, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 28, 2009 My wife works in this field she said the glasses have an anti reflective coating that is heat sensitive. If it is a better lens they can strip it and re-coated. It has nothing to do with the progressive lens other coatings like transitions will do this.

wes0778 Posted June 28, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 28, 2009 My I wear the transitions so I don't have to "swap". I do however keep my previous perscription pair in the saddlebags so if something happens, I don't have to try to find a seeing eye dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddlebum Posted June 28, 2009 Share #6 Posted June 28, 2009 Whatever the case may be thanks for the WARNING!! I am sure most off us would never think of this and I am sure the interior of saddlebags can get just as hot as the inside of a car when all closed up.

1 Canuck Posted June 28, 2009 Share #7 Posted June 28, 2009 a warning for folks with progresive lens glasses, I had mine in the hard case in the trunk for our 100+ degree ride, as I had my sunglasses on, when I got home, I noticed I couldn`t clean them, after looking close at them, I noticed that they are coming apart where the lenses change, I now have a line and little specs that look like they have chrystalized.... so its new glasses tomorrow, at least the lenses....I have never heard of this happening before.. One summer, I accidentally left a pair of progressive lens glasses in a case in the glove box and couldn't find them. When I did 3 days later they were shattered...I figured from the heat?
