Brad asked:


I recently bought some sunglasses and they are supposed to be made of glass, but they feel like plastic, like most other sunglasses. So how do i tell if they are glass or plastic?

    The glass lenses are so heavy however the advent of plastic and thinner made the advent of plastic and polycarbonate materials which are lighter and polycarbonate materials which are so heavy however the.

    Hit them very hard with a hammer.

    Nearly all glasses are now made out of plastic, even ones made with custom lenses, it’s easier, cheaper to manufacture, and actually can be more accurate than a glass lens.

    Also, it’s safer if you get hit in the face!

    Slightly less destructive than a hammer is checking by temperature — Glass holds its temperature more.

    Compare the feel of anything in a glass jar the fridge to something in plastic. Glass feels cooler than plastic. Or hotter if just out of the dish washer. If you touch a piece of plastic to your cheek it will usually feel room temperature, whereas if you do the same with a piece of room temperature glass it will usually feel somewhat cold.

    Also these days they don’t drill holes in glass lenses to attach frames anymore, so if they have a hole to hold the lenses in place then they are plastic. (Unless they were made before the 1980’s) Another way to tell the difference between glass & plastic is to tap it with your teeth…
