3 Reasons to Have Multiple Pairs of Glasses

15 May 2024

REASON #1: FOR OPTIMAL VISION AT ALL TIMES

The primary reason for getting a pair of glasses is to improve your vision. Depending on your prescription and needs, different types of lenses may be suggested by your opticians.

Depending on your activities or lifestyle, you may decide to get a combination of several pairs of glasses.

Opting for multiple pairs allows you to have glasses tailored to each activity in your daily life such as:

  • Driving
  • Work or leisure activities involving prolonged screen time
  • Engaging in hobbies that require close-up vision (reading, sewing, cooking, etc.)
  • Participating in sports activities

REASON #2: TO PROTECT YOUR EYES

Another reason that motivates glasses purchase: protecting your eyes. Whether you spend a lot of time indoors or outdoors, various elements like sunlight, wind, or ambient lighting can affect your visual comfort.

There are various optical solutions to protect your eyes, such as safety glasses for work, sunglasses, or glasses with photochromic lenses (reactive to light).

Indeed, even when indoors, your environment can impact your visual quality and comfort. For example, screen time, ventilation, or ambient lighting are factors that can affect your eyes or cause discomfort (eye fatigue, dryness, irritation, etc.).

Depending on your lifestyle and activities, our clinic experts will recommend a product or combination of products that suit your specific profile.

REASON #3: FOR A PERSONALIZED STYLE

Your glasses are not just a visual correction tool but also an essential fashion accessory. Having multiple pairs allows you to express your style according to your mood or the season. Extravagant frames for bold days and more understated models for formal occasions, there's a pair for every look. After all, it's often the first accessory people notice since it's right in the center of your face.
