Get titanium frames. They're more expensive (~~$100), but will last quite a while. I bought mine for falling off horses. Ask your optometrist about eye exercises. Also about how to take a rest from the computer. Oh, and whatever you're doing that breaks your glasses: stop it. > > I'd really like to put that money toward vision correction surgery, but > I'm unsure about it still. From an engineering PoV, there is nothing to replace the MK I eyeball, and for that reason I refuse to let a scalpel (or a laser) anywhere near mine.
