Perhaps, but most folks get their sunglasses from someone other than an optician and the quality won't match an expensive prescription pair. Therefore I wouldn't trust the alcohol. The lenses that I ruined with alcohol are Nikon NL-4 prescription from one of the best opticians in the city. Unless you can advise me of why these are affected but "good" ones won't be, I'll continue to advise folks not to use alcohol for cleaning. Lexan water bottles shouldn't be used for alcohol. The word on that has been making the rounds in outdoor gear circles for a while now. FWIW, John Winters told me that GE doesn't warrant Lexan for use in salt water. None the less, Eddyline makes a polycarbonate kayak (the Carbonlite 2000).
