Prescription Glasses

2nd Pair Of Glasses At Holicki Eye Center & Optical

Many people require eyeglasses to see correctly. Some people need glasses to see objects at a distance. Some people need glasses for up-close work such as reading or working on the computer. Some people need bifocal or progressive lenses so that they can correct both their closeup and distance vision. If you rely on glasses to see correctly, there are a few reasons why you should have a second pair.

Glasses Can Get Lost Or Broken

If you lose your glasses or if you break them, you won't be able to see correctly until you can get a new pair. Depending on your prescription and your eye doctor, it can be a few days before you can get a new pair. If you have a second pair of glasses, you will have a back up if you break or lose your everyday pair.

Fashion

Many people keep two pairs of glasses for fashion reasons. If you have a second pair, you can have one frame for casual wear and one frame for when you get dressed up.

Near and Distance Vision

Presbyopia is a common problem for people over 40. The condition causes your closeup vision to decline. Some people wear bifocals or progressive lenses which contains one prescription to see objects at a distance and another prescription to see close up all in the same lens. Some people don't want to wear bifocals or progressives, and some people cannot get used to the two lenses. In cases like this, the second pair of glasses for reading is the best option.

Second Pair For Sports

If you are an athlete, you might want a second pair of eyeglasses for sports. Sports eyewear is different than regular eyewear. The lenses are designed so that they cannot be scratched or shattered. They also have UV protection. Most people don't want to wear their sports glasses for everyday use; therefore; having two pairs is helpful.
