Photochromic shades - WTF?!

[Vetseun]

I had a pair of sunglasses that I left in the car cubby hole developed micro cracks all over the lens.

Mine too. Pair of Rudy Projects moertoe

Thanks all. I sent the Omnico group a FB message. I've been on contact with them many times before, they respond quickly.

So Omnico contacted me back, sales rep contacted me by 10am today to ask when they can come fetch the broken pair.

Many times? You sound like a problem client! ????

Interested to hear what could have caused this

Nope. About asking for specific items that my LBS doesn't stock. Their service is commendable. These shades is an example.

I somehow doubt they will investigate. Moer hulle weg and move on. But they may surprise us!

Think he was asking you?

 

Did this just happen overnight?

Sorry for the slight hijack, but has anyone had photochromatic lenses that just stop being photochromatic after a while.  They seem to be okay for about  and year to 18 months then they just stop going dark.  2nd pair of Ocean Eyes now that have done this.

Hoping they sort you out with a different pair

 

Those are k@k ugly

Get Oakleys if it fits in the budget...

 

Photochromic lenses do have a lifespan.

When youre not using them keep them in their case. Dont leave them lying in the direct sunlight when theyre not on your face.

 

Ive got a pair of Rudy Project Rydons that are about 7 years old, the lenses arent very consistent in clarity and look patchy.

Frame is still great but the lenses poked. 

 

My Oakley Radars are far better quality and cheaper than the Rudy Project.

Morning all,

 

To those who have D'arcs photochromic shades, or any brand of photochromic shades, why on earth would this happen?

 

 

Normally the manufacturer states not to use strong detergents when cleaning. The Photo chromatic is added to the lenses as a thin film. Your look like its the film de-laminating. 

Good luck
