I need new eye glasses, I bought some plastic ones about five years sago 
but was very dissapointed with the coatings which scratched relatively 
eassily so reverted back to my glass photochromic lenses.

With 5 boys and an active life I need tough ones, This time I was 
thinking of getting rimless ones and asked about tough lenses. the 
assistant quoted polycarbonate with photochromic capabilities, however 
on reading on wikepedia I see that polycarbonate does not have the best 
optical characteristics and  also has a tendency for chromatic 
abberation, I don't know if this is a problem in general use. I seem to 
recall Zeiss announcing some lens material as scratch resistant as glass 
but haven't seen any reviews

Has anyone recently studied this recently and have some recommendations 
?   Thanks in advance
