Your guess is …
Your guess is correct if the optician heated the frame with the lenses still in it. Most wholesale laboratories that supply opticals with anti-reflective lenses offer one year warranties on the lenses. Two year warranties for premium anti-reflective coatings.

i have a problem i had this woman adjust my glasses and when i got them back i couldnt see anymore, the lenses seemed cracked (looked like spiderwebs) I am guessing the heat damaged the anti-reflective coatings. Can anyone help me?

Right, adjusting …
Right, adjusting the frame front is one way, but it can be done from the sides as well. Even adding a little bit of curve to the temples can help.

I do the same thing as sobizzr. Microwave water in a large container for a few minutes and dip the top part of the glasses for 10-15 secs then take them out and squeeze them (as in the video) for 10-15 secs. But I’ve never tried running them under cold water to cool.

i just submerged my rx sunglasses (carrera and rayban range plastic frames) in 80 degrees centgrade hot water for 10 seconds and do the same adjustments. never fails. no adverse effects on any coatings, ar, tints polaroids whatsoever. when i say submerge..i dont mean the whole of the sunglass. i just submerge the top area and the nose bridge area. 10 seconds flat, fold inwards/ outwards and cool down in cool running water. done.

I cringed when I saw the frame sitting there without moving. Hot air heaters made for the optical business can actually be more gentle and cant pit a frame.

Using only …
Using only adjustments in the face form (frame front)to manipulate the tension through the head space can compromise the optics of the lens significantly depending on the Rx. This type of adjustment should be done at the hinge after heating. Also,instead of submerging the frame in your hotbox, it is far better to keep the frame moving in the beads/sand so the acetate does not become pitted/damaged.
