Now I'm curious what is better than glass? Aside from weight, it seems like an almost ideal material.



Says something https://iowaeye.tripod.com/ about that


Interesting, acrylic applied in multiple layers. I can see how this would be superior to glass from a manufacturing standpoint (easy to cast and layer), but my experience with acrylics is they scratch and aren't very durable. Perhaps that's another benefit - customers coming back more often for replacements.


Maybe weight is a factor.

They last a long time - longer than they need to - usually folks return because they've grown (children) or aged so the old one doesn't fit.
