The part that grabs my attention (as a wearer of corrective lenses not
in contact with the eyeball) is that whole "scratch resistance" thing...
I'm forever cussing at the cost involved in replacing a set of glasses
due to the "fog" of scratches that sooner or later collect on my lenses,
regardless of how carefully I handle them.

If this stuff can be worked into lenses, I'd be thrilled to have a set
made out of it, since it might *FINALLY* mean I'd get to look through
scratch-free lenses for more than the first few weeks after getting a
new pair...

Yes! You know what else destroys lenses in a hurry? A "helpful"
child with a muddy shirt wanting to clean my glasses for me while I'm
taking a nap. I might as well just pop my left lens out right now.
I'm about a hair from going to the glasses place with a set of
chipping goggles and saying, "I want prescription GLASS lenses to fit
these!" I'd look like a freak, but I'd be able to see. Straight ahead,
anyway. (:
BTW: there's a really expensive watch out on the market with a case
made of this stuff. In fact googling gets me:
