I use glasses for reading and driving only, which means I have them with me all the time but usually am not wearing them.
I hate bringing cases around, so I’ve got into the habit of getting frames on the thicker side so they can last being shoved in my pocket, sat on, jangled around with my keys, etc.
I’ve found pairs that surprisingly survive this behavior 1–2 years, and am curious if any frames can go even longer, possibly indefinitely. Any recommendations?
Maybe use a soft-sleeve case?
That’s what I do, and its inside doubles as a cleaning cloth
What type do you have? I have a good one atm, but I’ve really wished the inside would work like that!
It’s from eyebuydirect
Thanks! I’ll give them a look!
If you can find an eye glass shop that can order them OvvOs. I’m pretty rough with my glasses (rock climber, falls asleep with glasses on, general clutz and eats it while walking) and I just had the lenses on mine swapped out for my new prescription after 4 years and they’ve held up wonderfully. One of the arms broke when they were adjusting the fit on my face (metal fatigued after 4 years of abuse). The company sent out a new set of arms and got them swapped out ASAP now they’re good as new (plus they sent a new set of all of the soft bits too). As a bonus they’re not Luxottica owned (if that matters to you).
Fantastic recommendation, will look into these! Never heard of OvvO.
