Sweat shouldn't attack plastic lenses. But one particular random chemical often does: acetone. It can strip coatings and turn tenses hazy. Did you use acetone by any chance?
I often use acetone to chemically-polish PLA parts. Whenever I do, I crack out the safety glasses. At the price I paid my lenses, I don't want to risk a splash - or possibly acetone fumes even - damaging them.
Trust me, sweat totally attacks the coating. The worst spots for me are always where my glasses tend to rub against my eyebrows.
