I have lost two pairs of Marchon Autoflex 1 eye glasses at $325 each, one pair while paddling the (entire) California coast at Ventura (I won't tell the story) and one pair landing in dumpers at Big Lagoon, north of Eureka CA. These frames are made with titanium and are quite suitable for saltwater. It is always a pain to have salt crystalize on the lens so I have taken to licking them with my tongue. They also fog-up while kayaking white water! I have sport glasses identical to those worn by football players but they are uncomfortable. If you're on a long trip take an extra pair ...and be sure you use the cheap ones while landing in surf. Use croakies.
