I have 8 spare pairs of glasses! I ordered them a few years ago from Zenni.com when they had a BOBO sale. Optically they're pretty good. The most expensive pair is titanium framed and was still just $80 for the pair, and the entire order was under $200. One of the styles I got doesn't fit my face that well but for the price I can't complain. Now I have spares stashed everywhere, a necessity when you're as nearsighted as I am.

I get the sense that all of us here wear glasses.

I read a story years ago that Teddy Roosevelt had three or four extra pairs of glasses when he rode up San Juan hill! Apparently he worried about breaking them.

While I don't wear glasses, I am old enough for reading glasses, and yes, I have a spare pair (generally folding) along all the time. It is amazing how life can suck when you cannot read anything or do fine work.

I get the sense that all of us here wear glasses. It's very rare for me to wear my glasses at all; the eye doc annually expresses amazement at how well I tolerate contact lenses.

When I was about 40, I began to have problems readng a monitor in the open heart suite where I worked. Went to an Opthalmologist and got my first pair of no line bifocals. I've worn glasses for the last 30 years. 3 or 4 years ago, I asked about contacts and was told ,due to my age, I was unlikely to tolerate them.

Funny thing is I have 8 or 9 pair but I almost always wear contacts, too. Although during the pandemic, working from home, I am often too lazy to put 'em in. I've worn glasses more this past two months and in the preceding two years.
