I have a friend who went to Pearl Vision today and had a two-year old coating on her glasses bubbling up. It looked very bad, and the doctor told her after her eye test that they could remove the coating by immersing it in acid. The downside is that there was a 5% chance that it might ruin the lens itself. Even though my friend was worried that might happen to her, she elected to try it. So now all we had to do is wait the suggested hour.

It took more than an hour and a half. The lens coating wasn’t fully dissolving and was irregular. However when they came back they looked new and perfect. They looked brand new. It was really nice to see. They didn’t charge anything for the service.

So if your coatings look bad, ask if they can clean them off and you might be looking at the world through whole new lens.
