Don't rely on eyeglasses as safety devices.  I just had a pair break.
About 25% of a lens broke off, leaving a nice sharp point and two
sharp edges on both pieces.  Fortunately the glasses went the other
way and I didn't get cut.  The optometrist said "that can't happen",
but it did.  They replaced them without an issue, though.
