Like three years ago I splurged $330 -- more than I had ever spent -- on my glasses by getting a pair of those flexon frames that snap right back to shape if they're bent out of shape. I felt guilty about it at the time, but it's proven to be quite the worthy purchase. I haven't had to even fathom getting new glasses since, instead only purchasing new lenses every year, which is covered by my insurance, so I'm actually saving money now.
I'm notorious for falling asleep with my glasses on. Usually it's not too bad. I wake up, they're still on my head, no big deal. This morning, however, when I woke up I felt a stabbing sensation in my back and was like, what they heck is that? Turns out it was my glasses. I was laying on them with the full force of my 150 lb. body (I know, hefty, huh). In years past an event like that would ruin my day, because my glasses would "never be the same again" and I'd spend the rest of the day, and often their lifespan, tweaking with them trying to restore them to their original form.
Not today. Not with flexon. I got up, put them on my face, and pressed on with the day. These things rock. I plan to get laser eye surgery one of these years,, and I fully expect these to be the last pair of frames I have to spend money on.
