People who wear glasses, how many pairs do you own and why?

21 comments

1. Three. One for black outfits, one for brown, and tinted ones for driving

2. I have one single pair that I only wear when I’m at home. I wear contacts whenever I’m around people, so I don’t have any need for extra glasses.

3. One to wear and cheapo single vision prescription sunglasses.

   I keep my previous prescription for backup in an emergency.

4. 3

   Glasses I wear everyday, a backup in case the main pair breaks, and prescription sun glasses.

5. I have two different frames to wear depending on how I’m feeling that day and I have one pair of prescription sunglasses for driving.

   I do also have several older pairs. I couldn’t wear them anymore, but I haven’t found a place to donate them and can’t bring myself to toss ’em.

7. Two, one with blue light blockers, one without. Rarely wear the non blue blockers though

8. I have two, they’re the same prescription but I really only wear one of them. They each make me look totally different, one is a squarish black pair and the other is a large round entirely clear pair. I’m near sighted so I really need them most of the time (reading the back of packets at the shops up close without them is fine but I need to be able to identify the thing on the shelf from a distance first)

9. I have 13 or 14. They’re so cheap, why not? I’m pretty basic and plain with how I dress, so at this point, wearing glasses is about as far as I go with accessories.

10. One pair. I wear them all day. I should get a backup pair. 😅

11. Just one that I’ve been using for the past 10 years

12. 2 + contacts
    One for upstairs
    One for downstairs and going to work
    Contacts for going out

13. One + sunglasses because it’s ridiculously expensive to get a high prescription lenses 🙁

16. One nice pair that I splurged on but just got my prescription renewed and planning on 3-4 more cheaper ones for different occasions

17. I have four pairs and two pairs of sunglasses (all prescription). I always wear my glasses when I’m driving, so there are two pairs of progressives suited for driving so I can read the dash *and* see far off. Another pair is suited for computer work where the near focus lands where a computer screen would be. The last pair work better when I’m using binoculars.

    Two sets of sunglasses–one pair I take extra care of for daytime driving, the other I use on a boat or on vacay and don’t mind so much if they get banged up a little.

18. I have like two pair of reading glasses.

20. I currently own two, one is for inside for the sun, and the other is inside for the computer screen. Both are to protect my eyes.

21. I have about a dozen pairs of regular glasses and three prescription sunglasses. I like to think of my glasses as an accessory. Plus buying them online is way cheaper than at the optometrist.
