I have zeiss lenses on my glasses, they’re terrible. Full of scratches in 1.5 years. Worst money I’ve ever spent, my last no name €80 lenses went for years without a single scratch! Anecdata obviously

I've been wearing nothing but Zenni glasses for a decade, and they've been excellent the whole time

You can choose the material you put into them. Ray-Ban Scamglasses from the Scam Shop are definitely NOT better. Even Costco glasses aren't better.

They probably did not come with scratches, did they?

Don't scratch them. It's simple as that. Wash lens with soap. It's as simple as that.

What, do you think they scratched them on purpose? Avoiding scratching for thousands of hours isn't actually simple, and if some brand is less scratchable then that's a real benefit.
Or get glasses made with ... glass?
What model? High index or polycarbonate?
I have no idea, but i can copy some data from the package:

One is SV AS +2.5 sphere 0 cyl duravision platinum uv 1.60 index (guess this is what you’re talking about) uvprotect

The other is the same but 1.25 sphere

Hope it helps
