That's what's killing me. I know I'm overthinking it but I can't let go of the puzzle.

AR coatings aren't hard coats, Crizal is just an AR coat brand. A hard coated AR lens (pretty much every AR lens, tbh) has the AR layer added during blank manufacture, the lens is surfaced, then the AR coat is applied as a dip.

No one really uses glass any more since it's an arse to edge, heavy, shattery and not a great idea, though glass lenses are actually the most scratch resistant and also the thinnest lenses you can get. CR39 is the benchmark industry standard lens, and makes up probably 90%+ of all specs made. I always hated polycarbs as a lens type, since they were messy as gently caress to edge. Polycarb coatings iirc are a lamination, which also means no rear surface coating. Though I've been out of optics for 5 years now, so they may have solved the rear surface lamination problems.

Are you sure your lenses aren't CR39? you say high index, and I'm faaaaairly sure polycarbs can't have variable indexes (1.59, or shorthanded to 1.6) I'm also sure you can't have crizal on a polycarb, since that's a heat treatment, and polycarb doesn't fair well under heat. The more expensive lenses tend to be the 1.8-1.89 index CR39s, which used to make me sad while glazing because a £200 cost price lens being trusted on a machine who's sole purpose is to eat the lens till it's the right shape, and has a significant non zero fail rate is horrible.

Essilor brands AR coating, hard coating and oleophobic/aquaphobic coating under the umbrella Crizal treatment brand.
At least they did the last time i was changing my lenses (not an optician, so i only have consumer-side info). I remember that because it was confusing as hell, all the options being branded as Crizal xyz.
To confuse things further, the photo-sensitive option is branded as Transitions, which is sometimes stated separately, and sometimes as part of the Crizal branding (so sometimes you'll see Crizal Transitions, and sometimes Crizal, refering to the coating, then separately Transitions, referring to the photo-sensitive layer option). I think they even vary it based on the sales region. It's a mess to research as a consumer.

You're right, it's (still) a laminate, and can delaminate if left in the heat.
I'm fairly sure (but not 100% positive) they're coated on both sides nowadays, as mine have an AR coating (at least) on both sides.
I also have scratches on both sides, but most of them are on the front.

I'm fairly sure it's not CR39, as Essilor's CR39 is branded Orma.
The "newgen" high-index stuff is Ormix, Lineis aaandd... *googles* Stylis.

They never state what it is, but all their comparison sheets are comparing them to standard polycarb, so i took that as a hint they're some proprietary polycarbonate copolymer or something.

Same, but mostly because the alternative is waiting for more information from Oculus on when Rifts are going to start bloody shipping.

Remember if you aren't just trying to be a goon and actually have information regarding corporate insider knowledge, don't post. Don't share. I can guess as what Derek has in his hands right now, do not be made part of it. Things need to resolved on their own, these forums can be subpoenaed for information on the poster.
