I wear my glasses in the shower and wash/clean them frequently. I imagine a lot of people who have had corrosion issues on their bicycles don't exactly pour water all over them or clean them anywhere near as often. If it wasn't for my lenses getting scratched up I'd easily get a good 5 years of use out of a single set.

I get sweat all over my glasses all the time from working while stuck in odd positions. I just end up cleaning them a lot because I wouldn't be able to see well otherwise.
