how do we explain the corrosion seen in bicycles used in indoor training where the sweat had bore holes into handlebars - and spectacle frams are immune to this kind of damage?. And you're recommended to have a towel or something protective over the bike.

B) I don't drip sweat on my glasses. They're on my face!
C) I've never bored holes in my handlebars in all the riding I've done on indoor trainers.

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.

That too ... I wash my glasses every day or every other day.

I have worn regular metal framed glasses for 30 years. No problems. Somehow they never even came off in high speed race crashes.
