Avoiding frequent replacement of eyeglasses lens + frames due to lens degradation?

In the past decade or so it's become fairly common for me to notice that eyeglasses have their lenses' coating degrade over time. You tend to see delamination / bubbling of sorts after 2 or 3 years and the whole thing becomes unusable, whether or not the frame, your eyesight, or even other damages to the lens required it.

The first time I blamed it on a particular online vendor and stopped buying from them. But now it's become fairly common. To the point where the place I now buy them from said: "well, the coating degrades because they are only good for 2-3 years".

Not only that, but few places are willing to charge you for replacing just the lenses, they insist on selling you a lenses on a new frame. Or charge you almost as much.

The end result is a lot of eyeglasses in the landfill.

Previously, whether with glass lenses or plastics (but with less of today's exotic coatings) the lenses would eventually get scratched up or the frame would break. But aside from that type of damage - or eyesight changes - people could keep glasses for a long time.

Any suggestions on workarounds? There has been considerable consolidation in the optometry field, with the 2 big vendors internationally merging about 10 years back (Luxotica + Essilor?) and that had a serious impact on what's on the market (and likely why this built-in obsolescence is not getting challenged much).

  • buy lenses without coating / different materials?
  • buy elsewhere than the big chains?
  • send the frames to a lens-only replacement vendor?
