[ATM] Plastic Lenses (POLYCARBONITE)

[Jarvis Krumbein]

I too miss Richard's sharp comments and retorts and my daughter enjoys
the views afforded by one of Richards slumped blanks acquired at a long
ago Bellingham Optics Workshop.  I also use glass lens for my eyeglasses
because they are superior to polycarbonate with one important exception. 
I keep a pair of "plastic safety glasses" when I'm working with anything
that might possibly cause eye damage.  I've had things bounce off them
while doing yard work and while working in my shop.  There's a place for
both in this world.
