    I guess I hadn't thought about the metal being fixed after a nasty
    squishing... 

    As for wear, the reason I ask is that I have a pair of glasses that
    were cheap and I found that it didn't take very long for me to wear
    through the outside layer and now I get lovely green smudges on the
    side of my face when I wear them (copper).  Howeever I do mainly
    wear contacts and for cheapo glasses this isn't a concern. 

    Finally, I am WELL aware that James knows his materials, I wish I
    knew them half so well.  However, it is you who knows glasses and
    thus the question.  I was more than a bit surprised when my glasses
    wore through... 

    Finally, thanks for posting the aviator glasses info too!
