Mykita Eyewear Opinions/Thoughts...

[Tsujigiri]

I bought my Mykita 10 months ago and used it less than 5 times. Always store it in the Mykita case, and wipe only with the soft cloth it came with. There are already several scratches on the lens.

I have Prada and as well non expensive Rayban as well. The Prada is 4 years old and its still in mint condition - no scratches what so ever, and wear it very often. Same case with Rayban - I don't even keep this inside a case - but still no scratches what so ever with abuse.

I emailed Mykita about the lens and they say that their lens are not scratch resistant. To me, paying $600 for piece of junk just because it looks good is just ridiculous.

I would never buy a Mykita again.

Seriously? Replace the lenses if you scratched them. Eyewear companies differentiate themselves more by their frames than by their lenses, and the Zeiss lenses Mykita uses are pretty good. If you don't know how to take care of plastic lenses then you might have to stick with frames that have glass lenses. Mykita doesn't use glass lenses in their sheetmetal line because 1. Glass is much heavier than plastic, and the sheetmetal line emphasizes light weight, and 2. You need a stronger, more shatter resistant material for grooved lenses (polycarbonate, nylon, or Trivex. No glass or CR-39).
