Juliet lens peeling around orbital

[s_ton]

I'm sadden to see my new (to me) Juliets peeing around the edges of the lens. I just received them in perfect condition a few days ago and wore them only once. This is my first pair x-metals - so I'm learning... is this something that should be expected with the product line? It seems to me that having a rigid metal frame that flexes around the lens can expedite wear and tear.

Anyways, looks like I'm going to have to buy new lenses, but if anyone can share tips and tricks to prevent this would be be really appreciated.

DId you wash them/clean them with any liquid?

Nope! Just got them... I have other Oakleys that I use for sports but even for those I use the Oakley cleaning solution.

I always thought some people just get a pair were the sweat and oils get in between the layers and they peel out, what do you think, could I be right?

It sheds it's outer iridium every few months after it grows a new one underneath. That's pretty normal for a healthy Oakley lens

Loosen up the the orbital screws a bit to reduce the pressure to the lens circumference.

Leave it in the car or any other hot place?

Thanks @TheStig. I'm going to buy some aftermarket lenses and give that a try. I doubt that Oakley provides any torque spec/tolerances for these sorta things. Wish me luck...

They were kept inside and worn only once for 3-4 hours - but I did buy them second hand and they were shipped across the country. They were in good condition when I received them though, so who knows...

Don’t go after market. But some custom cut on the forum hete. Much better

I had a pair randomly delaminated. It sounds like it was just poor timing or maybe timing and sweat did it.
