dsrtaoHeinlein observed that the answer to any question starting "Why don't they -- " is "Money".
The iPhone and the Droid and many other touchscreen phones have an oleophobic coating that means that skin oils will wipe right off.
Why don't they sell this for eyeglasses?
Given the outrageous cost of non-Internet-ordered glasses, money seems unlikely to be the answer. I can get lenses with custom grinds, custom tints, anti-reflective coatings, anti-UV coatings, anti-scratch coatings... why not anti-fingerprint?
