Strong Eyeglass advice

I have poked around and have seen a few threads with similar ideas, but nothing that really answers what I am looking for. I consider myself a well dressed man and I am a teacher, but I also work with my hands quite a bit. I am looking for some eyeglass frames that are very sturdy, but also look professional. Currently I have two pairs of Armani frames with the clip on sunglasses, however I worry that they are not as strong as I really need. Basically, I want a nice pair of glasses that I could also go camping with, sorry if that seems silly. I am considering titanium frames, but do not know much about them. I have a medium round face and probably require a 140 or 150 size. Any suggestions of brands or materials would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much for you consideration.

I remember reading this a while back about eyeglass materials

FYI, I'm currently researching this myself and will be posting more here

I'll be talking to an optometrist later in the week so hopefully I can get some insight from a professional who is asked this question daily!

The choice of frames out there is quite large. A round face usually requires squarish frames.
My tip would be to choose the frame and get corrective tinted lenses made for them. I don´t need glasses myself nut when I couldn´t find sunglasses I wanted I choose nice reading frames and had tinted lenses cut for them.

Lindberg titanium frames are strong. Virtually unbreakable and very flexible. Silhouette from Austria do a cheaper, though not as nice version.

I was looking up both of these, the Lindberg ones look awesome. What are peoples opinions about buying frames from ebay. Any suggestions to good reasonable online frame shops.
Thanks again

For me, there is no way to tell if a frame is going to look good until it is on my face. Online frame shops with the upload-your-own-face aren't good enough either.

How do the Silhouette glasses compare as far as quality, it seems they are quite a bit less expensive than the others.
Any other companies people think are good?

Other frame types anyone?
Thanks
