my friend gets well water.  he has a filter system, but when he washes his glass lenses, he spritzes everything down with distilled water and then lets it air-dry.  not sure I have the fortitude for one more step :)

I do use my shirt to wipe the lenses. Mine are glass. Takes a lot to scratch them.

Sure they're bullet proof, but who gets shot in the eye? 

 

Uuummm i am pretty sure if you were to get shot in the eye with polycarbonite lenses in your frames the lens would end up in your brain.

Glass lenses are heavier

This is primarily why I chose the poly lenses instead of glass.  I wore the glass lens ones for like 10 minutes and the weight was noticeable.  So multiplied to 5 hours of fishing and I knew they wouldn't work.  Plus that and they're about twice the cost.  They are more scratch resistant though, no doubt about it.

Get a good Trivex lens and you have the best of both worlds-lightweight and strong like polycarbonate but nearly as clear and scratch proof as glass. Costa prescription glasses are Trivex.
