Get plastic lenses. They do not break easily. I went without the doodads on
my latest pair and in two years have barely a scratch.

Do not get anti-glare. It adds an odd tint and has an affinity for grease.
It'll catch fingerprints and refuse to lose them until you wipe with
expensive spectacle-cleaning fluid and chamois. Without anti-glare, I can
wipe clean with water and my pocket kerchief, and I've worn the glasses
everywhere without incident.
