Whether Rain-X affects the actual lens material may not be the only issue 
here; the lenses of better quality sunglasses, whether plastic or glass, 
usually have anti-reflective coatings. So even if your sunglasses are not 
melted, you may be stripping off some of these coatings, and thereby 
reducing the performance of the glasses.
