These lenses are particularly beneficial if you live an active lifestyle - play sports or engage in outdoor activities regularly. It is also great if you tend to leave your glasses lying around unprotected, or if you don’t usually use glasses case. Scratch-resistant lenses can definitely help protect your glasses as these lenses are designed to withstand physical contact and exposure to the elements.
