Two are better than one - here’s why you need to have a second pair of glasses

Most men and women have multiple pairs of shoes, handbags and jewellery to match and accessories their outfits. So why should our eyes settle for just one pair of eyeglasses?

A second pair can indeed be very useful—not only to fit your fashion style, but also to better meet all your daily vision needs.

Here are some of the reasons why you should consider getting a second pair:

Eyeglasses can fall, bend or break. These accidents happen when you least expect it. Having an extra pair of glasses is always nice in these unexpected situations, especially when you know that you can get a second pair of glasses of the same quality as the first pair!

You take off your glasses for a short while and they seem to have vanished into thin air? Does that tell you something? At that very moment, having a second pair of glasses on hand can be very helpful.

One of the biggest reasons why people get multiple pairs of glasses is that they want to have a pair when heading outdoors, especially hiking or hitting the beach.

The amazing quality of vision and comfort you get from your regular pair of prescription eyeglasses cannot protect you from the sun’s UV rays.

That’s why having a second pair of prescription glasses with added UV protection, which is basically corrective sunglasses, is key to your vision comfort.

You can create your very own sunglasses by combining Nikon Lenswear sun-tinted lenses and stylish frames, a combo which will deliver superior vision correction, top-notch eye protection AND sophistication. You can even pick between tinted, polarized or mirror lenses so that your sunglasses can fit your style and personality perfectly.

You also need glasses for near distance tasks and specific work, such as right in front of your screen.

If you find yourself focusing on near vision activities for extended periods of time such as for work, you could consider lenses delivering sharp and relaxing vision at near distance.

Nikon Lenswear offers lenses that relieve and reduce eye strain while offering a comfortable and clear vision.

When you need to perform detailed work on a screen, but your primary pair of glasses wasn’t designed for that purpose, your eyes don’t get the comfort and protection they need. A second pair of glasses, specially designed for a digital lifestyle, helps protect your eyes from eye strain and exposure to blue light*.

Nikon Lenswear is a pioneer in this field, offering lenses designed to relieve symptoms of eye strain and reduce exposure to potentially harmful blue light*, thereby limiting the impact of screens and new technologies on your eyes.

Do you feel like you use different vision zones between all your daily activities?

Many of us do, juggling many indoor activities like reading, writing or cooking with outdoor activities like running or biking. Your indoor activities require your near and intermediate vision right down to the smallest details; while your outdoor activities rely primarily on your far vision. Having a second pair of glasses allows you to meet all your visual needs with precision, so that you are comfortable in all your activities. 

The use of a second pair of glasses complements your initial pair to offer you optimal visual performance in different situations. You have the choice to opt for a second pair of glasses of just as good quality as your first pair.
