I would like to add that while plastic lenses are not as scratch resistant
as glass (glass too will scratch), they are far less fragile.
I have been using a pair of reading glasses with plastic lenses for 5 years
now and,
Although I have dropped them more than once, they are as clear as the day I
paid a small fortune for them.
I use ROR (Residual Oil Remover) and a micro-fiber cloth for cleaning.
