I'm sure I've seen some info on this here before, but can't find it in the archives.
Both ds (12) and dd (8) now wear glasses, and I spend half my life dragging round their respective schools looking for them. Some pairs have disappeared never to be seen again. Ds has also broken innumerable pairs in the past.
We get ours from Dollond and Aitchison, who appear to be prepared to rectify bent frames, but otherwise we just keep having to buy new pairs. I wonder if other opticians are better on this? D&A dismissed the idea of special insurance, which I thought I'd once heard about.
Anyone got any experience/ideas?

How do you replace pairs of glasses for a child who always loses or breaks them, without breaking the bank?
