I checked some of my NOS juliets and xx lenses today and I found a pair or two which started to peel/delaminate on the edge of the lens. I kept the lenses in a cool and dark place so I wonder what I did wrong.they have never been mounted.
 
They're lenses with an oleophobic coating or whatever...

i doubt they're meant to last forever...

Sucks that they were still in the box...

A couple of mine are like that as well. It hasn't spread much and the only "solution" is start using them and enjoy them until it gets worse. In mine the issue is at the edge so it isn't visible in use and it doesn't look like it has spread much in the last 2 years of use.
 
vacuum sealed plastic bag is the solution!

Clean them thoroughly, only handle with gloves before long hibernations
