- I've never had anti-reflective coatings on my glasses, but I have had
- the chromatic abberation. The reason for this was that I had gotten
- special lenses made from (okay, here's where I'll sound like an idiot,
- because I'm not sure if this is the right name) poly-carbonate (?)
- lenses. You know, the ones that aren't glass, aren't plastic and were
- developed in the space program? The next pair of glasses I got were
- plastic. The lenses are thicker, but no blue bands on everything. I
- don't care if I got used to it! :)
