The lenses I have are progressive, transitions and are the very latest, not polycarb but better. I noticed that I don’t have trouble shifting from close to far viewing as I did with polycarbs, but… like all of you, I now see teeny fleck like marks on the outside of my lenses. I don’t know if the lenses were coated, but I know that I asked for anti-glare and transitions and a slight tint. No one here has mentioned the shape or size of the scratches, so could someone address the type of flaws that I’m seeing? They’re not linear but are tiny splotch type mars that appear to be multiplying — which would seem to indicate there is an outer film that is now starting to rub or scratch off. (I do use glass cleaner and also soap and water as I get face cream or cooking stuff on my glasses and need to remove it to see.) Help!

Went for it and after 3 times it worked 100%!!!! I def have to get used to the glares. I am on the computer a lot and watch TV a lot, but this is much better than living in the fog! Thank you.

I have plastic High Index for distance with the same look as your picture and it’s really foggy. Can’t afford new lenses. This is my only pair and I can still see through the fog it’s just bad! Will this work on those/my lenses? I really wanna do this. Just need to be able to see!
