Hey Paul, Ira --- Ira -- it hasn't soured me on online glasses at all -- I will try another vendor, and a beefier frame. . . on examination after they were broken, the plastic in these seemed as brittle as a Jolly Rancher candy, and that's only a slight bit of hyperbole. Paul, I agree. I think the problem is with the coating. These were clear -- but only after much hard work to get them there. My wife's G4U glasses exhibit the same issue, though they do not seem as flimsy frame-wise.
I don't know if I am doing a good job of describing this smeariness as nobody else seems to get it, or be affected, or maybe is as hyper sensitized to it as I am. It's not a cloudy sort of filminess, though any sort of smudge is a bitch to wipe clean. It's more like, if you rubbed it with a slightly greasy cloth. I don't know if I am making sense, but what happens for me when it's present is diffusion or arcing of light from any strong source, the sun or a bright lamp (or God help me, a film projector). When I take the glasses off, and angle them so the light is shining on the area in question, there's this smeariness. Hey Ira, since you're the expert and I have no use for these busted glasses -- assuming I have no recourse with G4U which is what I am presuming -- maybe I will mail them to you. You can look at what I am talking about and maybe tell me if I am insane. I don't think I am because in my 40+ years of glasses-wearing I have never had this problem before. But I don't know . . . I am thinking a pair from another vendor will settle the question. On Nov 19, 11:25 pm, Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My guess is that it was a defect in the coating.
