First of all, never use windex on your lenses. This will eat away at the protective scratch coating and will make your lenses "cloudy". I would take them back to where you bought them to see if the lenses are defective. In my lab I occasionally see some polycarbonate lenses that get that stained look that you're describing. Sometimes they separate or delaminate and need to be remade. Depending where you got them, they might remake them at n/c if they determine the lens is defective.
