But... if they should slide off and fall and bounce on the hard tile over concrete of a university restroom, they might bounce on the first hit, and amazingly break a lens on the lesser, lighter hit.<br /><br />Thank goodness for spare glasses.<br /><br />And yeah, since they were Photogray Extras, after a year you can't switch just one lens because the tint is different. So two new lenses.<br /><br />But the titanium frames are still good many years and lenses later.
