I've had 2 pair of Costas. One pair got scratched pretty badly and I was going to send them back to have them relensed... no dice. Style has been "discontinued" and lenses no longer available however they gave me a coupon for 30% off another pair which I thought was substantial so I got another pair. Eventually one of the legs broke off and I ended up ordering some multi pack sets of glasses WITH readers from Amazon for a fraction of the price. A pair of sunglasses in every vehicle, purse, house, etc... winner!

This is why I can't believe you've had a pair for 12 years! I'm terribly rough on sunglasses and eyeglasses! Another note, the Costas had a slight distortion in the lenses, in other words, they weren't what I call crisp vision.
I still have my first pair of glass lens polarized Smith's; not a scratch on them after 35 years. Did not wear them for a long time; but the retro style is back. Couple other pair of smith's over 10 years.
Though I have broken a few; and they give you 60% off a replacement if my fault.
