I have had glasses for a very long time and never broken a lens, but I have broken more than my fair share of frames. It takes a lot to break a lens, and plastic frames break pretty easily. The worst with lenses is scratches or chips (though chips are also rare for me), and some of that can be mitigated by cleaning with the right cloth. Not much can be done about drops or other accidents though
I've never broken my frames but I also never sat on them. One set of glasses had the same frame for nearly ten years now and I've only replaced the lenses due to scratches. The only time I had an issue with lenses/frame breaking was when I had one of those "frameless frames" that are only connected to the glasses through a small point.
I lean towards metal frames, so have not had issues in a while, but the couple times I've had plastic frames I have had breakage or warping.
