For those here who wear prescription glasses, are yours made of glass or plastic?

Mine are for myopia. They're plastic.

This seems to be true, but one definite benefit of plastic is that it's lighter than glass,
I don't feel any weight of my glasses, they light as feather, glass however adds to weight.
That's true, glass is heavier which is why I use plastic eyewear at my workplace.

However it dosent even compare to glass for it sheer clarity and maintenance that makes glass my first choice.

I insisted on glass. I got it.

I'd see another doctor trying to capitalize on cheaply made plastic garbage.

And it's good for the environment!
My plastic ones are high-index, scratch resistant, progressive (etc). They're hardly cheaply made or at least the price is hardy cheap. And they last and last so the quality is far far from "garbage"

It's plastic. That should speak volumes.

My progressive bifocals are made of plastic (the lenses, anyway; frame is metal).

I thought they were all plastic these days. Before I had my cataract operations my glasses were really thick. If they'd been made of glass they would have weighed a ton.
Extra info: my latest glasses are made from recycled plastic!
