If You're Active In Sports

If you're active in sports, particularly where a ball is involved, it's advisable not to get glasses that have glass lenses. Polycarbonate lenses are by far more shatter resistant. I actually had a patient who was stuck in the eye with a golfball. Fortunately he was wearing glasses made with polycarbonate lenses. The lens popped out of the frame and he was knocked down but the lens did not shatter and they probably saved his vision.
