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.

That's also crap. I've had glass lenses for a zillion years and never
had one break in a manner that would ever cause damage.

On the other hand, I saw a kid take a soccer ball flat on his face and
the lenses didn't give - cut him really bad.

What cut him? The lens, or the frame?


Wouldn't have happened with glass.
