I wear glasses occasionally and I've honestly never thought about this. But this is interesting to me. Think I might look into it. I'm constantly annoyed by my glasses getting smudgy super easily, and I bought the expensive coating package and it seems like it's wearing off or something. There are permanent "spots" on the lenses now. Only had em about a year, and wear them 3-4 days out of 7.

as someone who is pretty nearsighted, if I had glass lenses, my glasses would be fucking heavy, as of now they're very compfotable polycarb

shattering on impact is a problem – my current pair survived falling off my face in a mosh pit

The last moshpit ever was for SOAD at riot fest
I was watching rancid, thank you very much

funfact: the additional coatings applied to hard resing (cr39) glasses were introduced to mimic the properties of the borosilicate teempered glass glass lenses.

Those coatings were simply applied to poly carbonate lenses when they were introduced since they proved to be vastly profitable

protip: that INDEX is a industry term for form factor

a glass lens for your frame would have minimal impact on the thickness

so unless you 100% absolutely need VERY high index glasses for some sort of industry that requires eye protection getting poly carbonate lenses is doing you a disseverce

high index lenses vary from $250-300 depending on other factors that have to deal with your prescription

chances are your poly carb lenses are just single vision standard index

Do Oliver Peoples make good glass lenses?

Oliver peoples makes frames, I'm not sure what they use when you buy off their site probably the cheapest lab that uses standard plastic lenses

Also glass lenses don't work in semi rinless frames. The kind with the invisible fishing line that holds the lower portion in...

I actually work at am optometrists office. I haven't even thought about actual glass. It would definitely be thicker and too heavy for over 50% of the patients there with high prescriptions. As for smudges I hardly notice mine even when they get really bad haha.

Also my lenses are thick to begin with. Glass would be impossible
