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

While one pair of glasses may seem enough, here are seven reasons why you should consider getting a second pair.

5/2/2024

Most men and women have multiple pairs of shoes, handbags and jewellery to match and accessories their outfits. So why do your eyes only get to have one pair of eyeglasses?

Yet glasses are not only a fashion accessory, they provide a practical solution to a wide range of scenarios. 

Indeed, your eyes not only need perfect vision correction, they also call for a second pair of glasses that will address other visual needs that often go overlooked. Think protection from sun rays, preventing visual fatigue, sports practice, near vision comfort and more.

And just between you and us, how about a more daring, unapologetic style of glasses just for vanity's sake?

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

Accidents happen

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!

A spare pair if you lose your eyeglasses

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.

Prescription sunglasses

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.

A second pair dedicated to your digital activities

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.

Glasses to support near and/or distant vision

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 distance 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. 

Is the second pair of glasses of lesser quality?

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.

A backup to contact lenses

There may be times when you can’t wear contacts. For example, eye infections such as conjunctivitis, injuries or allergies. A second pair of eyeglasses allows you to continue living your life when your eyes just can’t handle contact lenses.

Also, wearing contact lenses around the clock is never a good idea. The cornea needs oxygen to properly function and maintain clarity. Having an extra pair of eyeglasses is beneficial to give your eyes a breather.

Your eyes will thank you for it!

Finally, a second pair is essential!

Having a second pair of eyeglasses is like having an insurance policy for your eyes. It's always good to have one in case of unexpected events.

Investing in a good pair of glasses can make you more comfortable, especially if your lifestyle is characterized by a wide variety of activities and passions. A winning investment, especially when you know that it is possible to obtain a second pair of equivalent quality to the first pair!
