If you’ve recently noticed your Oakley sunglasses lenses flaking or peeling, you’re not losing your mind. Yes, this is a real thing, and it’s incredibly frustrating. But there are key ways to prevent and fix peeling lenses.
Now let’s start with what we mean by flaking and peeling and its causes…
What is Lens Peeling?
Lens Peeling, flaking, or bubbling refers to when the outermost coating or your lens begins to separate from the lens itself.
For most lenses, the outer layer is either an anti-reflective or Iridium (for Oakley) coating. This Iridium coating is bonded to the layer during manufacturing – typically dipped or sprayed. Over time, this bond can wear, causing delamination, also known as peeling or flaking.
But what causes this flaking? And how do you stop it? Let’s find out.
