The stupid coating on my glasses is rubbing off, how do I just remove it entirely? Acetone maybe? (lemmy.world)

These coatings are optional extras you were lied to. They may put an anti scratch, but, an anti-reflective coating is optional. They may just make it a mandatory add on to boost their profits. The lenses I have are about 4 years old. They are scratched to shit because they are plastic, but, no coating coming off. They use plastic because it's easier to make, cheaper for you and way lighter. You can request glass if you want. Glass gives you better clarity, better scratch resistance, but, if you drop them they could shatter. They will also be a lot thicker.
