All of mine were covered by insurance and my eyes haven't really changed in 10+ years too. If I had to actually pay for it, I'd probably just have 1 of each. I get a new pair ever 2 years per my insurance, but I found a little loop hole in the last 3 years along with the IF loop hole I found, that if I jump between my plan and my husbands plan (we work in the same place) that I can get one every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589488 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 06:24:37 +0000 Adira 2589488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One, though next time I go, I want a pair of prescription sunglasses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589484 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 06:14:39 +0000 looch 2589484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually one pair, but I currently have three pairs of the same prescription.</p> <p>Glasses have gotten more affordable, especially at places like Costco. I think my most recent pair cost around $300, including my special lenses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589446 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 01:26:01 +0000 lamariniere 2589446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Back when I used to wear glasses, I only ever had one pair at a time since I mainly wore contacts. They were so expensive I can't imagine buying two pairs at once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589422 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 23:10:36 +0000 ALV91711 2589422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two but only there was a good deal last time I needed a new prescription. It is nice having two. </p> <p>I used to mostly wear contacts, so one was enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589369 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 20:47:45 +0000 youboots 2589369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnleaves: I should have said 3. I also have a pair of WP sunglasses. I bought the first pair when they did a tour in big cities. I have visited the store in NY. The sunglasses I got via their free try on option. I opted for my salt pair only because I liked the clear glasses better from Salt- and I spent 3x as much. Their customer service is awesome </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589365 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 20:40:12 +0000 yin 2589365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnleaves: I ordered a few pairs online to try them on, and it was a really simple process. I found a pair I loved, and they have been great for the past 3 years (wow.. has it really been that long?). I only paid $95 and possibly used a promo with American Express, bringing it down to $85. Can't beat the price for stylish quality glasses.</p> <p>DH gave it a try, but he didn't like any of the ones he picked out. It was really simple to order and return them. No cost!</p> <p><a href="https://www.warbyparker.com/home-try-on" rel="nofollow">https://www.warbyparker.com/home-try-on</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589360 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 20:35:05 +0000 autumnleaves 2589360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I think if I could wear my contacts more I'd stick with 1 pair of glasses but I wear glasses 95% of the time now.</p> <p>@youboots: @yin: did you order the Warby Parker's online to try or did you go to a store? I hadn't heard of them before today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589350 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 20:20:04 +0000 SweetiePie 2589350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: @aprild: maybe that's the difference. I also only wear mine at night once my contacts are out. If I wore them daily like pastemoo then maybe I'd want more options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589345 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 20:13:22 +0000 pastemoo 2589345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: Mine are because if my head wasn't attached, I'd leave it somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589316 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 19:20:43 +0000 cat620 2589316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one.

I thought people that had multiple styles were wearing "fake" glasses.

I'm due to get a new pair soon, but I'm putting off scheduling to see the eye doc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589295 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 18:47:58 +0000 pastemoo 2589295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnleaves: 1 super regular, 1 that gets switched with the regular ones, and the 3rd one is the super back up.... but I always "lose" my glasses so all 3 get worn.<br /> And this is not counting my sunglasses which I wear almost daily, also prescription.<br /> so... 4.</p> <p>ETA: same Rx since 2009, so that helps. Also one pair is a $6 zenni pair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589269 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 17:35:49 +0000 BSB 2589269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: Same here! I have one at work, one in my car and one at home. I have two pairs of prescription sunglasses but I just got a new pair this year. I get a new pair per my insurance every 2 years. So almost all of them were covered by insurance. My eyes are pretty much the same prescription as it was 8 years ago. Oh, I bought one out of pocket because I thought I lost it. </p> <p>I always use my glasses when I drive at night. During the day, I use them to see far (like reading presentations or going shopping where I need to read overhead songs). My prescription is barely an prescription so if I forgot my glasses, I would have the just squint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589268 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 17:35:33 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2589268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One regular pair and one prescription sunglasses. I can't afford more than that everytime my script changes. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589244 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 16:33:50 +0000 caterw 2589244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 pairs of regular glasses with the same prescription. I got an good deal if I bought 2 so I just went for it. It's nice if I forget where I put one pair but it definitely was never necessary before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589217 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 15:34:44 +0000 sunny 2589217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just 1 pair of normal glasses and 1 pair of sunglasses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589214 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 15:33:08 +0000 nana87 2589214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted 1 but actually I have sunglasses too, so really 2. I find it hard to switch back and forth too much, even if they're the same rx it gives me a headache to switch too much, I think bc the shape of the lens changes how much I can see w my peripheral vision </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589210 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 15:26:26 +0000 PurplePumps 2589210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I leave 1 at work, 1 in my car, and 1 at home. I have another on order so I can leave 1 in DH's car too. And 1 pair of prescription sunglasses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589207 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 15:20:02 +0000 autumnlove 2589207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589206 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 15:18:41 +0000 avivoca 2589206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two, one is my regular eyeglasses and the other are my prescription sunglasses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-eyeglasses-do-you-routinely-wear#post-2589204 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 15:12:02 +0000 youboots 2589204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two.

I am trying to figure out if I should just stick with 1 set or buy 2. I've always just had 1 but with so many fun frames out there it's hard to say no to getting 2 pairs.<br /> If you wear eyeglasses, how many pairs do you routinely wear? </p>
