Sunglasses buying philosophy

And for $10-15 I can get pairs that are pretty damn good for my needs.

Now I do have a pair for $60, that I keep in my car for trips.

I wonder if more expensive pairs are less likely to break. I don't know since I'm not a heavy user. I've only had one pair of sunglasses in my life, and since they're prescription I treat them pretty carefully. But I haven't broken a pair of regular glasses in about three decades and I figure almost any prescription glass frames will be in the mid- to upper prices for sunglasses.
