My daughter has this habit as well. Many glasses can't take much torque. See if your insurance will cover any of the repair/replacement. If not, need chose a stronger frame next time or find a much more gentle method to clean them.

There is a brand of glass frames (I think it's called Memorex) that you can twist, and it retains its shape. Try that.

(1) Don’t clean glasses with your shirt. Keep a clean handkerchief or Kleenex or glasses cleaner so you don’t accidentally put too much torque on your glasses while cleaning them… (2) Some styles of frames are more rugged than others. If they are light and delicate they will break easily… (3) When you buy your glasses the sellers usually offer a warranty at extra cost. In your case be sure you get it.

You need to learn what the words "normally" and "gently" mean, Hulkster! It's "normal" to clean your glasses with a lint-free cloth.

Oof. Had that happen with walmart frames. Both broke the exact same way, the exact same part and for the exact same reason. In both instances, i was literally just walking and they fell off my face the second they broke. The solder weld on the lens frame that connects the earpieces just broke. Not even touched. I got BC goggles this time around hoping for a better lifespan.

Check how Zenni.com you can buy glasses for like $20,

At least you get away with $150 for glasses. With my astigmatism and no line bifocals, mine cost nearly $600!

Better get a different type of frame next time.
