Weird stuff with Ruby Iridium Polarized - help?

[northcub]

Hey all - thanks in advance for replies. Back in October I bought a pair of Holbrook lenses from a reputable seller on eBay (I won’t name the seller yet except to say they are out of Hawaii). The ad said Prizm Ruby Polarized but what I got was OG Ruby Iridium Polarized. So I’m stoked right? Blue shade and all! I wore them on vacay and they did get some salt water spots on them which I wiped off with a mf bag.

Today I notice lines that I think are sun reflections on the inside, only to see very odd lines (see pics).

So the question: did I A) get a pos set of knock offs or B) ruin them with saltwater?

Or is this something else? Thanks for your help and expertise!

Do they have the word ‘polarized’ etched into one of the lenses?

Press Ctrl-Alt-Del-F2 key, it should go away.


Oh wait that was a fix for a Win95 issue.

Windows 95….sigh. Those were the days.

Lenses say polarized and they look and feel authentic.

Those are most likely not PRIZM

Yes. The eBay listing said Prizm but I received original. I was okay with that. I’m not good with the weird lines that only show up when the glasses are turned in the light. From straight on inside or out the lines are not visible.
