Flight of Passage needs maintenance

I'm pretty certain that the FoP 3-D glasses are custom to the ride, and quite a bit more expensive than the normal ride 3-D glasses. But I don't have that data point at hand, so possible I am wrong.

My experience with FoP is that the quality of the picture depends, not in order of significance, on (1) where you're sitting and (2) the glasses, many of which are worn out. Every once in a while I'll get a pristine pair of glasses and suddenly everything looks amazing.

But lately I've found that the glasses they give you are past their use-by date and some of the CMs passing out the glasses are holding them by the lenses, which adds smudges to the already-scratched-up, beat-up lenses.

We've taken about 6 trips to WDW a year for the past couple years, each usually 4 to 9 days. We normally visit AK at least once each trip, and ride FOP twice. (We did skip AK on one trip this year.) I haven't noticed any difference in blurriness despite sitting in different seats in different rooms each time.

I do think the glasses are scratched up and have noticed some CMs touching the lenses. However I'm not sure how the blurriness can be primarily attributed to the glasses when it's particular scenes that have gotten blurrier over the years. If it were the glasses, every scene should be blurry to the same degree. (The cave scene is especially bad.)
