Common misconception is that glasses are made of glass… A number of years ago glass was in fact used in eyewear, but for a number of cons was ruled out by high grade plastic lenses. One of the benefits, and maybe the only things missed about glass is its tough exterior and resistance to scratching and scuffing.
