Finally got around to getting my eyes examined. Got a prescription for
glasses tweaked just for the range I need when working, primarily on the
lathe.

I bought glasses for my daughter from Zenni last year. She chose them,
so style of course was paramount. I found them pretty flimsy.

For my work glasses, I want a frame that's sturdy and I'm not really
concerned about looks. Anyone have a particular model Zenni frame they
use in a work environment, and would recommend? Certainly willing to pay
for the flexible titanium frames if they really hold up. I often slip
one stem in my back pocket, and ruin hinges when I sit down, so the
hinge is my prime concern.

My "adapted to my astigmatism magnifiers" (regular prescription + 5
diopters) are Zenni's in one of the cheap metal frame ($8.95 at the
time) styles. Not stylish, fairly sturdy, and have the "spring hinge"
feature that soaks up a lot of hinge issues. I still don't suggest
sitting on any glasses, so start hanging them in a front pocket or off
your collar (or an around-the-neck thing.) They seem to change styles
more often than the car companies, so I doubt that exact style is still
on offer.
