Still don’t own a pair of blue light protection lenses or prescription sunglasses? Are you prepared should the unfortunate happen, and you misplace, lose or, heaven forbid, destroy your primary pair of prescription eyewear?

We think it’s a lot easier to have at least one spare pair of glasses readily accessible so we are sharing some of the most common reasons persons make the investment to FRAME it up! It’s just like an item of clothing, sometimes you need a different look and purpose.

• Add protection for Digital Devices. Spending longer hours on a computer or other digital screen for work or leisure? Specialized computer glasses can prevent digital eye strain and computer vision syndrome as they are designed specifically for the distance at which you view a computer monitor and protect against blue light. Put on computer glasses to see the screen with crisper vision, reduce irritating glare, and block dangerous blue light waves that are emitted by all digital tech.

• Stay prepared for any accidents. Accidents happen, even with the best pair of durable, high-quality frames. If this occurs, you don’t want to be left going to work or driving around with blurry vision. Store a second pair of eyeglasses in your bag, car, or desk drawer, so you have easy access in case of emergency. With children, this is particularly important. Kids’ eyeglasses take a lot of abuse, and the rate of breaks is even higher. A backup pair is essential!
• Don’t worry about fine print. Most people over age 40 develop presbyopia. This vision condition makes it hard to focus on small objects, details, and text that is close to your eyes. Therefore, you’ll need different prescription lenses to match different activities. Even if you already wear bifocal glasses or progressive lenses, readers are helpful. That’s because bifocals and progressives don’t target a specific distance, so they have limitations. In comparison, readers can give you sharper vision for a particular task, such as reading a menu or messages on your smartphone. For those whose hobbies include close up work, reading glasses may be helpful for magnification.
• Play sports without fear. The right pair of prescription sports glasses can enhance your performance and protect your eyes against injury. Tinted lenses can enhance contrast for outdoor sports, such as when you’re on the golf course, shooting range, or tennis court. Also, impact-resistant lenses are recommended for any rough activities or contact sports. In fact, 90% of eye injuries can be prevented by wearing protective eyewear and it protects your main pair of eyewear.
• Have several different styles. Gone are the days when you have to continuously wear one pair of frames. With so many options to suit and accent your face, you can have a frame for every day and every mood so you never get bored of having to use your spectacles. It can be a statement piece after all! Frames can adapt to our different and often changing roles in life; A person may lead a very active lifestyle—choosing from the Lacoste or Rapp collections but that doesn’t mean that something more sophisticated like Lindberg isn’t called for in professional zoom meeting or on social occasions. For a spicy date night you might want to choose from Salvatore Ferragamo or Theo in order to kick up your style a notch. Now that glasses are seen as a fashion accessory, as well as a medical necessity, it behooves the modern consumer to own and keep more than one pair at a time—in case of emergency, sure, but also as different circumstances require different looks and functions.
