Let me know if you succeed.  Then I'll try the same argument with my own
insurance provider.  I *really* don't like wearing these thick, heavy
glasses.  They're wearing a groove in my head.  I'm sure you're getting
the same groove worn into yours, although maybe a little faster.  And
contacts have the disadvantage that they trap any gases or dust that fly
into my face, and as I spend some time in the chemistry lab, this can be a
problem.

Peace...  Sridhar
