I bought a pair of Violet Riddles from an O Store & one day I was wearing them when the sun was low too my left, I noticed a bright refection across the left lens. I turned towards the sun & it went away I also turned so the sun was on my right & no reflection appeared in the right lens. I pulled the glasses away from my eyes to see what might be causing the reflection & I seen a group of what looked to be tiny, microscopic cracks on the lens. I called O & they said no problem just send them in. When I got them back (I think they gave me a complete new pair) I noticed the same thing on the new ones! Not as bad but still there. I also noticed that if I look way into the peripheral the vision seems to be distorted in places. I think maybe there's a problem with putting a lens this big into a full frame design. Anyone else noticed any of these things or am I just double unlucky?

I dunno. I find some distortion in the peripheral areas of my Hatchets. Not a big deal, but I can tell it's there.

I had the same problem in my first pair of Ruby Penny. The left lens was filled with super fine stress cracks that only showed up under specific bright light conditions like what you described.

My only guess is that you've been lucky enough to get two lenses from a bad batch. Or maybe there have been many bad batches?

By the way, the old e-Wires that I keep in my car have the same problem. After sitting through several years of severe winter cold and simmering summer heat, the lenses are filled with fine stress cracks. The reflections are very bad when I need to use them at sunset.

I havnt found that problem in either the Hatchets or the Riddles. It could possibly be the Violet Iridium is a weaker lense, but that doesnt seem to be very likely. You might just be very unlucky

Hmmm.. strange. I have four pairs and have never noticed a problem with any of the lenses. I'll double check tonight just in case thought.

I've never had any problems with distortion on my hatchets.

My Rx Split Thread has the same thing. I compared with a pair of Why 4s (both are lens shape F) that a coworker got at the exact same time, and his doesn't have 'em :(

tick , i looked at the Riddles in my shop , took them outside in the sun , but thére is no such thing on these , so my guess is indeed that VIOLET is a weaker brother amongst the rest of the RIDDLES

Cornea Reflective Images.

Caused by the light that falls in over the Riddle - or any other sunglasses -, onto your cornea and reflects onto the backside of your lens. Try covering your eyes with your hand like a cap or use a cap.
