    How many pairs of glasses do you have?

    How many pairs of glasses you have? If you have more than one pair, why?

    I wear glasses pretty much for all close work now, and had a bit of a drama this morning when I left for work when my glasses were still at home. Wondering if I shouldn't invest in a second pair of glasses and keep one in my handbag all the time...?

    Great idea! Then you wont be wondering if youve got them with you. I have two pairs for this reason!

    I have 2, 1 i wear all the time and the others are sunnies which TBH i've worn maybe twice.. i SHOULD have gotten 2.
    I might have to look into getting another pair incase the kids wreck these as without them i can't see

    I have trifocals, that way i wear them all the time and don't lose them. I keep my last pair in the glovebox incase I walk out the door without them. Also have been known to grab a cheap pair when needed.

    I have three but two of them are unwearable thanks to my girls
    I get a free pair through PHI each year and can't afford to get a second yet.

    I have two pairs, plus an emergency pair which are actually broken but wearable.

    I need to get sunglasses though, I am getting the biggest wrinkle between my eyes from frowning too, so need to get my script checked.

    I have one. I wear glasses all the time and it's a problem when they break. You'd think that after wearing them for nearly 30 years, I'd learn to get a second pair!

    i wear mine all the time, cant see without them. but only have 1 pair, i do have an old pair but they are an old subscription so while i can use them for a day or so while this one gets fixed, i end up with a massive headache at the end of the day and they probably arent safe to drive in =P

    mainly cause i'm cheap, and my eyes are still changing so much i need a new subscription atleast every year, I am due to get a new lot now, so was actually going to invest in contacts aswell as glasses...dont know if i would ever get a 2nd pair..just because i have always only ever had 1.

    I've worn them for most of my life and only have one.... I probably should value them more often but I can't really afford/justify cost of 2nd pair and we don't have a spec saver here

    I often loose my sunnies (they are the type that go over glasses properly) which is a shame really cause they are really good

    Sympathies to those who have to wear them all the time!

    I can still see without mine but it's a total disaster if i have to read/look at a screen - which is what my job is (staring at a screen all day long).

    I've got 2 pairs of normal glasses, 1 pair of sunglasses and then my disposable contact lenses. But I can't see without them, so I never forget them, ok sometimes I go out with the sunnies on and stay out too long and it is dark when I get home still with the sunnies on

    I only have 1 pair, as I wear contacts most of the time. But kinda wishing I did have a spare pair atm because the arm snapped off, and it is really annoying wearing them with only 1 arm whilst I wait for a new pair!

    I have two, JIC! I am short sighted though, so i leave a spare in the car - there's no spare space in my handbag!

    DH also has two now, because he left them a work a couple of times and had to go the whole weekend without.

    I have 3 pairs... although one only has one arm ( Thanks DD!!).
    I got 2 pairs for $199 from specsavers and they were my first ever pairs of glasses. I usually keep one pair in my bag.
    I recently got another pair for free through an online company that was giving them away. These are my faves by far! I keep one pair at my computer desk so I remember to wear them, and yeah the one pair in my car. The broken pair are in their case in my bedside draw.
