@user-ob5xc4jo5v3 ай бұрын
If you rinse with only warm water the debris will not rinse off and if you use the cloth made for classes can still scratch the lense I use a small amount of dawn dish soap after rinsing and rub lightly with my fingers. Not only the debris come off but oils from finger prints too

And furthermore, how long is that coating expected to last in the first place? Even assuming they were maintained with the utmost of care, surely the coating is not expected to last for the lifetime of the glasses?

It's 2024. If your eyeglass lense coating is easily damaged, it's by design. I' recently removed the gorilla glass screen off of a 7 year old phone that has been in hundreds of pockets, dropped on the ground countless times and slid all over the inside of my truck on a daily basis. That 7 year old slab of gorilla glass was more optically perfect than the lenses in a 3 month old pair of eye glasses.
