Glasses and helmets

Specks ok. Breathalyser well that's too much .

I have been blessed with good eyesight as I get tested at work every couple of years lol.

What about those frames from about 5-6yrs ago really thin but flexible metal less like to break. You see them in the advert being bent and twisted every which way

some kind of memory metasl frame

That will brands like Flexon that several have mentioned above...

Aye ny 'newest' pair of glasses are flexon, problem is the arms will not push in ocer m ears, they just fold up, so its down to my 2nd oldest pair (luckily the diff in pescription for the past 10 years has been negligable) woth sturdy legs (still hinged) and slip in for a perfrct fit.

That said the flexon ones were bought spindly as i was off biles after the accident when i got them.

I buy glasses from Specsavers choosing the sturdiest (non-flexible!) plastic frames with rigid (non-flexible!) arms. Use these for riding my motorbike and sporting activities (tennis, skiing etc). I had such glasses destroyed only once when a tennis ball hit me at high velocity: an elderly tennis partner of mine got into a fit of tennis rage and hit the ball when play stopped and I wasn't looking out for an incoming shot.

Don't like contact lenses. Only keep a pair of contact lenses at work in case I have to ride home in fog.

Considered surgery many years ago when my wife worked in an eye hospital but decided not to go for it, despite the encouragement of all the eye surgeon friends (we'll do both your eyes in 5 minutes etc).
