[QUOTE="securitysix, post: 2526513, member: 32714"] I wore the same pair of glasses for over 10 years. The frames got pretty ratty and wound up breaking one of the ear pieces up by the hinge once. I repaired them with, of all things, superglue. I still have them and they're still in tact. The lenses are pretty scratched up, although not really noticeable when you're wearing them. A couple of years ago, I went to the eye doctor and got an eye exam. My prescription is the same. I got 2 new, cheap pairs of glasses at Eyemart Express. The nose pads broke out of both of them in less than a year. I bought replacement nose pads on Amazon and repaired them myself. I now have 3 pairs of glasses in my prescription, not counting my prescription sunglasses (also bought at Eyemart Express, also had to replace the nose pads in them). I can't do contacts. I'm sure I could get contacts made in my prescription, but there's no way I'd ever be able to put them in. I'm thinking about also getting some goggles in my prescription to wear while shooting since my glasses don't give me full coverage from hot gasses or flying brass (and we all know how fun it is to have a piece of hot brass wiggle down between your glasses and your eyeball....). A spare is always good to have. What's the saying? "Two is one and one is none." Or something like that. [/QUOTE]
