Glasses are plastic lenses? I thought they were… glass. Am I wrong? Warby Parker and such are plastic?

They used to be actually glass, but now the majority are plastic.

For people with poor eyesight (like me!) plastic lenses are lighter and can have a higher refractive index, making them thinner than the equivalent glass lenses. Weight is the big thing though.
