Lens coatings degrade through chemical, physical, and environmental exposure. Identifying wear patterns helps determine if manufacturing, maintenance, or usage factors are involved.
Have you observed any coating peeling, flaking, or bubbling?
Select all visible coating damage types
Edge peeling from lens perimeter
Central area bubbling
Spider-web cracking pattern
Complete coating loss in spots
Rainbow-colored oil slick appearance
Is the damage worse on one lens than the other?
Which lens shows more damage and where?
Right lens - primarily upper area
Right lens - primarily lower area
Left lens - primarily upper area
Left lens - primarily lower area
Both lenses equally damaged
Estimated percentage of lens surface affected by coating damage
Rate your expectation for coating durability (1 star = should last 6 months, 5 stars = should last 3+ years)
Did the coating damage appear within the warranty period?
Describe your warranty claim experience and outcome:
Why did you not pursue warranty coverage?
Unaware of warranty
Warranty expired
