It will stop there. It only goes as far as the oils do. The part that comes in contact with your face oils is all that gets eaten. Your cheeks and the sweat from your nosebombs are what is damaging the coating. It will stop there. It wont be like a ripped fabric, where once it starts, there is no stopping it. Sweat drops arent what causes the damage, it is the constant contact with your body, so where the contact stops, the damage stops.If the lenses stay like they are now, I wouldn't have as much of a problem with them. As others have mentioned, it doesn't affect vision while wearing them and you have to look close to see it. However, I expected this to just be the beginning. I thought that once they start peeling, they will continue to do so over the entire lens. I am still disappointed though.
