Many years ago, the missus bought me some Porsche Design sunglasses as a gift with glass lenses. They were great, but I did eventually get a couple of scratches on them. I'd say that in day to day use they are pretty scratch resistant. In one case, I leaned into my car and the edge of the window pressed into the lens and scratched it. In another they fell down between the seat and console of a vehicle resting against sharp metal for the seat mount or seatbelt or something, and that scratched them.

I lived with the one scratch for a while, but then when I had two and one was in a bad spot, I had the optometrist put in new lenses, but they aren't glass.
