do these glasses have the Anti-Reflective (AR) coating? The down side to AR coatings is they tend to smear when cleaning, MUCH more than regular glasses or other coatings. You really need to use the special lens cleaners and a clean microfiber cloth on them.
I am just amazed at how cheaply mail order sources can put on AR coatings compared to the ridiculous price that the B&M stores charge. Of course this means that a lot of people end up getting the AR coating that wouldn't normally get it and aren't used to the smearing issue. (and it is a good idea to get AR!) Dish soap and NOT hot water sometimes works well for "degreasing" too. But the special spray is really the safest route to go.
