Yes! They’re more expensive but so worth it. It not just comfort/appearance, you also see better through thinner plastic. And they’re better able to stay in place without falling off and getting scratched.
Btw, the best way to protect your glasses is to keep them on your face. Have a safe container on your nightstand, use museum goo if you worry about it falling off. If you have to put them down, leave the arms open so the lenses stay 90° from the surface, and always put them someplace that’s higher than your waist.
Personally I clean mine with less than a drop of dish soap (or liquid hand soap in an emergency) and running water, and once I’ve gently washed them, I turn the stream low along the edge so it runs off both sides without leaving drops. Then I wipe the frame but not the lenses, only dab any stubborn last drop to remove it. In most cases it’s better to put up with some temporary dirt particles until you can clean safely, than to wipe and create permanent scratches.
there are some things in life you don’t skimp on, it’s either all or nothing.
your toilet paper, your mattress, the power supply for your computer, and any medical device you require to live on a daily basis, for instance.
i will go into debt for my glasses if i have to, because if i’m stuck with them every moment i’m awake, i cannot survive if it’s a miserable experience the whole time.
gotta go for those extremely high refractive index exotic polymer composite lenses
my glasses get hella fuckin thick when they need to be made of regular glass too >_>;;;

But they’re so expensive…

I agree. It just sucks that something so necessary for so many people is outrageously expensive, it just shouldn’t be like that.
I must say, a bidet/handheld shower head thingy instead of toilet paper is the way to go. Cheaper and more sustainable
Still need some toilet paper with bidet tho but much much less
That’s where the underwear comes in…
Walt you dry yourself with your underwear?
You don’t? I give myself such an ionising wedgie that all the water is gone, reduced to atoms

Damn, US/Canada only, but they do seem relatively cheap
