Ever had a properly made pair of plastic prescription shades that cost
more than $100?


I don't wear prescription glasses (yet), but I have tried some high
quality (over 100 bucks) plastic sunglasses. You will think I am nuts but
I ride a Harley and for some reason I have never felt comfortable viewing
through plastic lenses, even the expensive ones. There is a distortion
that I just don't like. I've noticed the same thing in some glass lenses
as well, but not to the same degree as the plastic. A well made pair of
lightweight glass sunglasses provide a non-distorted view that I am
comfortable with when riding.

Glass is funny when it breaks. Especially around eyes. That's why most
schools won't let kids play sports if they have glass lenses.
