Strange (maybe stupid) question..

By the time you have spent all this cash on compounds and stuff, would it not be cheaper and less hassle to just replace the lenses?

I had the exact same thought. Spending a tenner to save a fiver is not something I like, but find myself doing on a regular basis!

More often it's me saving the fiver and the wife spending the tenner

My opinion it’s the coatings they put on them. It has a shelf life and degrades. I have some expensive varifocals that I hardly wore because I couldn’t get on with them. I revisited visited them and I got used to them but the coating had started to degraded and they started digging up. I am now wearing the cheap second pair that had no coatings and they are fine. I have had other specs where the coatings fail. I think it’s a con.
