That’s because they’re glass lenses. The plastic whatever crap is just another form of planned obsolescence.
I think my eyesight getting progressively worse every year is a bigger contributor to the glasses industry than planned obsolescence 😭
Are you wearing distance lenses for up close tasks like reading and tapping into Lemmy? There’s evidence that says forcing your eyes to do that through distance lenses speeds up eyesight degradation.
My prescription is -4.75 left, -4.5 right, and about 15⁰ astigmatism.
Now I'm wearing bifocals made before my first prescription, and these glasses just work.
Myopia. Nearsightedness. Can't see a pile of horse shit in front of your feet sorta blind.
Glasses are awesome though, ugly or not..
...well that's just great, I wish someone had told me this before my eyesight was at -6.00
Nope, can confirm 100%, they're plastic. I just tested the edge with a razor blade, 100% plastic, made before the modern day enshittification and planned obsolescence era.
Damn. I didn’t think they used plastic back in the day, I assumed it was a modern thing. Well. You know what they say about assume. Thx for the correction.
