    Were they actual glass? I think they switched to plastic lenses because they are cheaper, lighter, won’t shatter (but will scratch).

      Actually they are plastic, not the newer thinner polycarbonate plastic though, they’re stupid coke bottle thick, but they work great for my vision.

      That was actually one of the first questions that came up about them, whether they were glass or plastic, so I took a razor blade to the very edge and shaved off a very small inconspicuous sliver of the edge to test. Sure enough, plastic. Must be that good shit though 👍
