When To Get A New Pair of Glasses
Whether your eyesight has changed, your old glasses are in shambles, or you are interested in a new trend, there are many acceptable times to get a new pair of glasses. In order to make the best decision and not throw out a pair of perfectly good glasses, we at Rochester Optical came up with a few different reasons why it would be a good idea to invest in a new pair. Keep reading to learn more and then visit our retail store in Rochester to pick out your new pair of glasses!
A New Prescription
Annual eye exams are recommended because your vision can change. While many people’s prescriptions stay the same, if yours has changed, even slightly skewed from last year, you must get a new pair of glasses. And if your prescription stays the same year to year, you should still replace your glasses every year or two, after seeing your optometrist for your annual eye exam.
The Old Pair Is Broken
If you are struggling to see out of your glasses or keep them on your face throughout the day, it may be time to invest in a new pair. While some things such as a snapped stem or a small crack in the lens can be dealt with for a while, you will be better off replacing your broken pair with a new pair of glasses sooner rather than later.
New Trends Come Out
Whether you saw your friend rocking a pair of two-tone glasses or you want to try a different frame shape, feel free to replace your glasses whenever you want! Just because you have a reliable pair of glasses that could, in reality, last you for years, doesn’t mean you don’t have to keep up with trends and get a new pair of glasses.
Keep Multiple Pairs
If you end up replacing your glasses, be sure to keep your old pair (as long as your prescription has stayed the same) for back up. And, if you currently don’t have a backup pair of glasses, consider purchasing an extra pair. Keeping multiple pairs of glasses is great for when one pair breaks or goes missing. Moreso, if possible, get multiple pairs of glasses for different occasions, or even outfits. Your glasses can be a simple accessory or a bold statement — it’s up to you!
