    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a glass article may include a glass body having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface and the second surface each have a radius of curvature. The first surface of the glass body comprises a flaw population extending from the first surface into a thickness of the glass body with a maximum initial flaw depth Ai. The first surface of the glass body may be etched to a depth less than or equal to about 25% of the maximum initial flaw depth Ai of the flaw population present in the first surface. When the glass article is under uniaxial compressive loading, at least a portion of the first surface is in tension and a uniaxial compressive strength of the glass article is greater than or equal to 90% of a uniaxial compressive strength of a flaw-free glass article.
