Urgent eyeglasses problem...

WTF - what coating do your glasses have, and why would they smell like burnt chemicals when wet? :confused:

I think his hair is on fire and he doesn't know it. If we wait long enough the problem will take care of itself.

They get wet if I run water over them or if they become fogged up by a sudden temperature change. They smell like chemicals because of the special coating on the lenses is reacting with something. It is related to my problem of not being able to see clearly through them because the coating is dissolving in some areas so it is like looking through really dirty glasses all the time.

It is possible that they have come into contact with certain acids over a year ago but that doesn't explain why they are still reacting with moister.

I wish I could. I'm dirt poor and I need real powerful lenses. I just need to remove the coating from my current glasses.

DON'T. Go get new glasses; I'm certain you can "cheap" glasses lenses for your budget, they might not be extra-thin Nikon or varilux lenses, but they will do the job. Trust me I know it IS expensive.

I'm thinking about getting contacts instead. Fifteen bucks a month or so isn't that bad and I can skip out on some days if I need to.

Did you drop them into some sort of solution you were concocting? If you are taking that solution now, it's possible the smell is entirely in your head. :rolleyes: Seriously, though, that is weird. Perhaps leave them in a large bowl of water for a day to see if the reaction continues and all the chemical is dissolved away?

I've been told other things would make me go blind, but I still do them. ;P

The coating on my lenses have worn off in some areas and it is slowly becoming worse and worse. It has come to a point where it is intolerable and everytime they get wet they smell like burnt chemicals. If I could just remove this coating off of my glasses I would be able to see better. I need to be able to do it with in house ingredients, I can't go out and buy anything. I need a serious answer please, I am blind without my glasses.

And ask them for advice – it will be free. The coating could be just a scratch protection but also could be a part from the lenses. They also could have a machine for polishing that could solve your problem for a small fee/not very likely but wonders happen/. At least you will know your options for saving your current or for purchasing new lenses from a professional rather than the Internet.

That just happens with time, I'm not sure there's anything you can do, apart from buy new glasses. Given that you have limited income, surely your national health scheme will supply you with a basic pair of new glasses ? By the time that coating comes off, you should be getting new glasses anyhow, at your age, your eyes stand a good chance of changing with time, so your prescription will have changed.

They have an anti-glare/anti-reflective coating and I'm pretty sure they also have an anti-scratch coating on them. They are 300 dollar lenses, placed in 200 dollar titanium frames. I've had them for nearly 6 years now I wear them everyday. The coatings or possibly even the lenses are reacting to something when they get wet.

that is your problem. I don't mess up with my precious eyes, I get them checked every year. My Ophthalmologist checks my glasses to make sure everything is ok. If you can't afford doctors visit, then you should live in socialist state so you can get it for free :doh: :sigh:

I use disposable contact lenses. If you have astigmatism as well as being short sighted ( or long sighted, but I'm short sighted ), I found that the lenses that correct for that are not reliable, they would slip in my eye and my vision would blur. I use lenses only to go to concerts, where I'll be packed into a tight crowd. For example, I had my glasses ripped off my head by falling bodies at Rock on the Range, over and over again. The thing to remember is, it IS an ongoing cost. You never stop paying, unlike glasses. They also can not be great for your eyes, my optomitrist recommends using lenses as I use them, not for every day use, and always with glasses as a backup, b/c there are days your eyes just won't take them.

Soaking an acid in a base; makes sense.
