I had a bad experience trying to get glass lenses for my eyeglasses, when I realized that most eyewear use plastic. Just because I'm pissed, it should now be called "eyeplastics".

It's called "glass" because you can see through it to the other side.

Excellent thought on the question, I shall reserch more in to it
In the past, eyeglass lenses were made exclusively of glass; today, however, most lenses are made of plastic. Plastic lenses are lighter, do not break as easily as glass lenses, and can be treated with a filter to keep out ultraviolet light, which can be damaging to the eyes. However, glass lenses are more resistant to scratches than plastic ones.

Lots of glass lenses are still available and very common. Perhaps your source only uses plastic.

Do you still call your wireless phone a cell phone, even though it is digital? Traditions are hard to break - if I were you, I'd choose a better battle to fight.
