As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, right? When you require prescription glasses to carry out your daily tasks such as driving, walking, and working- being prepared is more important than ever. When the unexpected happens, you want to make sure you have a backup pair of glasses so that your vision is never jeopardized. Here are a few reasons why it’s important to own more than one pair of glasses:
1.Your glasses get bent, broken, or lost
Accidents happen, and unfortunately it is not uncommon for even the highest quality pair of glasses to break when stepped on, sat on, or dropped. You could be trying to clean the lenses on your glasses and scratch them by accident, making them hard to see out of. Or, you could misplace them while out and about. Whatever scenario you run into, it’s always smart to have a spare pair of glasses until you can get your broken pair repaired or replaced.
2. You depend on your glasses for work or sports
Safety glasses are required for many different occupations, making it important to have an extra pair of glasses in case something happens. If you play basketball, football, or another contact sport, it’s important to have a spare pair of glasses to keep your eyes protected. It’s amazing how many eye injuries could be prevented just by wearing protective eyewear!
3. You’re spending more time in front of a screen
Increased screen time has become a part of our daily lives, especially during the pandemic. As a part of your job, you might be doing several Zoom calls or FaceTime calls with friends and family. If your everyday pair of glasses doesn’t have lenses with blue light protection on them, you might consider getting a second pair that has blue light protection to reduce eye strain, blurred vision, and headaches.
