What is happening to my lenses?

[AntonisCy]

Hello guys,

Anyone know what is happening to the black polararized lenses on my Jupiter Squared Oakleys?

At first it was a small part and now it has spread all around the lens. It looks like vein structure in real life. Doesnt peel off.

Is this damaging the lenses? Like peeling off UV protection or the Polarize tech? Should i change them? Don't want to damage my eyes.

I have them permantently stored in my car and wondering if its the heat that is damaging them (i live in Cyprus)

Thanks

Sweat and temperature changes, definitely heat too.

I do believe, that sir, is delamination, or at least the beginnings of

NEVER keep your Oakleys in your car where it's hot.

What happens when the lenses are delaminated? What is lost?

Depending on which side: a coating. Front, Iridium, rear part of the Base Coat.

It's the back side. What i am wondering is if the lenses are useless or not effective in UV protection or Polarization without the coat that is peeling off.

Probably best to just replace em. My Flak 2.0's, with dwp lenses, are doing the same thing. Really sux, they are my favorite fishing glasses

I will probably start searching for replacement lenses ASAP and use my Crosshairs until they arrive.

Thanks guys
