Hi O fans, some of the lenses are peeling/crazing on the inside of some frames (Scalpel, Unknown, Straight Jackets, Pitbull). Is there any way to fix this or should I be looking for replacement lenses? I have seen people on YouTube use sticky tape, but this also pulls the coating off, making the protection factor of the glasses less. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

No way to fix it. Time for new lenses. Going forward though I would follow these tips:

Don't leave your glasses on your head if you use any kind of hair product. I mean anything other than shampoo. If you use hair gel or shit like that you're just getting that all over your lenses.

Clean them at the end of the day. I don't mean just wipe them off, I rinse my glasses off if I've been wearing a pair all day then use some lens cleaner and a fresh cleaning cloth. I never use the microfiber bag. That thing was in my pocket, it's not going near my lenses lol


This is how I do mine and I don't ever have delam problems. In fact I have the original lenses out of my Ruby Juliet that I bought in 2000 and wore almost daily for 14 years and they aren't delaminated. A little scratched lol but not delaminated.

Thanks Jason,

I have wised up to the hair product thing, after years of ignoring it! I do clean with lens cleaner, but I think the head and hair thing is the main issue for me. I have ruby lend Juliets from 2000 too, and the lens are like the day I plonked £250 on them, but I have never put these on my head, even inside, the glasses stay on my face! I will get new lenses later on in the year for my Scalpels.

Thanks again, Paul.

Ahhhh! The reason why my Unknot frames are the worst with the bubbling is because they are the ones I used for tennis - sweating like a beast and putting them on my head as the sun went down! Jason, you have cleared up this issue for me, thanks again.
