Specsavers- vent

horrorhag

Having only had my glasses for less than two months i was a bit miffed to see that there was a scratch on the lense. This would not have bothered me so much if it was the fact that i spent and extra £30 on scratch proofing my glasses! When i phoned up Specsavers they said they would 'as a gesture of good will' they would replace the first instance for free. but surely if i have paid for anti-scratch proofing then surely then thats a fault in their product not me? Annoying

Aren't they called scratch resistant not scratch proof.

I am very short-sighted (I wear contact lenses most of the time) and I pay a big premium for lightweight spectacle lenses. These are scratch-resistant, rather than scratch-proof. The latter must surely be physically impossible. What if the cat got hold of them?

more to the point... how did u scratch them?

My glasses have a scratch-resistant coating: I don't think I've ever heard of a scratch-proof one.

I got new glasses two weeks ago and asked that they have scratch-proof coating on the lenses. The salesperson corrected me saying that the coating was scratch resistant, but that nothing could prevent scratches.

My last glasses also had scratch resitant coatings but after almost 2 years of constant use and abuse ( I am not that careful about how I look after them), they were pretty badly scratched.

My glasses also have a scratch resistant coating.

After two or so years, they are horrendously scratched!

Like RooBee I don't look after them in the slightest. In fact I have been known to keep them in my pocket on occasion.

However the scratches don't affect me in the slightest, in fact I can only see them by holding the glasses to the light in just the right way and to be honest I don't really care if other people can see them. No-one has ever said to me 'Your glasses are scratched to hell!!'

I am a bit of a tramp though, fair play for wanting to keep them perfect.
