You can't prevent it 100%. I have a pair I bought in Venezuela about 6 years ago. i've worn them on the flat range, in the house, everywhere. They are scratched up some, but still serviceable.

The smoke grenade canister is a great idea. There are also people that make cases for them.

At the end of the day, they are worth it to protect your eyes. I have a bigger problem with losing them than breaking them, so I fag cord them around my neck. Pat Rogers did a really good write up on them for shooting. I'll see if I can find it.
