Thanks for providing no useful answer with knowledge already known by most people who have researched buying glasses online. I wouldn't say they ripped me off, or even say there is a "smudgy look" as I keep my glasses clean. How can you say that AR coating on a 10% tinted lens is a ripoff? It may not be necessary on a 80% tinted lens, but with 10% there is barely a tint on the glasses and an AR coating helps for normal everyday usage such as while on the computer or driving, etc.
Zenni should still have the AR coating option on tinted lenses, "to rip people off" as you would say, and so I am wondering why this option no longer currently exists, as some people undoubtedly will want AR coating on their tinted lenses, and this option seems to have been disabled without any reason given on the site. You can get tinted AR coated lenses from other sites, and so back to my main question, Why not Zenni anymore? If anybody has a real answer please post it to this thread and not some mumbo jumbo.
