Glass lenses are trickier to scratch, but will "pit" with impact, and

I try not to fall flat on my face it hurts the nose. If I do fall (a
rare
event) I find the natural action of gazing ones hands or rolling causes
the glasses to fly off and, very occasionally, shatter elsewhere.

This is great until the time when, for whatever reason, your hands fail
to stop the fall (remember the vast majority of spectacle wearers are
elderly with weak limbs etc) or something flies straight at your lenses.


I have worn glasses since I was a child. A (small) majority of people in
my office wear spectacles.
I find it hard to believe that the majority of spectacle wearers are
elderly and even if that is true I don't see any reason why the
non-elderly therefore need to wear plastic lenses.

Weight and safety. You'd be quick to sue if you were poorly advised.

As a child and relatively active adult I have never broken a lens and I
am no spring chicken.

Excellent.

I assume that you are talking in general terms otherwise suggesting that I
am quick to sue would be somewhat offensive.
I have never yet sued anyone despite having had ample justification several
times over the years (as have most people I guess).
Sueing is a fools game.
