I'm not familiar with the Oakleys you wear but if they aren't of polycarbonet they should be.

I speak as an optician. It is totally shatter proof. I used to collect polycarbonate lenses that were returned. The most awsome was a lens thah had a sliver of metal stuck in the lense. Had it been of some other material the lens would have shattered and the individual would have lost an eye.

I am sure that the glasses you wear are poly since it is an OSHA requirement for safety glasses. Poly carbonate is actually LEXAN, the same material used in other armored protection devices. It is a soft material and gets its rigidity from the coating.

BTW: Where is my preacher's smiley bosses?
