Also, my first pair of transition glasses actually started peeling .. whatever coating they use started peeling off. The first pair I purchased at Sears and the second pair at Walmart.
The posters on this thread have been very enthusiastic which makes me wonder ... are transition lenses purchased from an Optician really that different from ones purchased at an Optical Department of a department store?

Hi Bare,
I wonder, too. It does seem that people who didn't like them said they got them at one of the box stores.
However, I wonder about the peeling you experienced. I've never had the transitions peel, and I don't think it's a coating, at least the ones from an optician. However, I did have glasses once with an anti-glare coating, and that expensive coating peeled in less than two years.
Might it have been the anti-glare coating, rather than the transition lens, that peeled on your glasses?
