Evaluate how lens clarity affects your visual comfort. Even minor degradation can cause significant visual fatigue and distraction over time.
Overall satisfaction with current lens clarity (1 = very dissatisfied, 5 = completely satisfied)
Do you experience increased glare or halos around lights at night?
Have you noticed persistent smudging that returns quickly after cleaning?
Do you see micro-scratches or fine lines in your field of view?
Does your vision feel 'hazy' or less crisp compared to when the glasses were new?
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?
Is the damage worse on one lens than the other?
