I have an eye doctor appointment set up, although I am certain my prescription won't change much, I see well with these glasses for the most part, it will be fun to get a new pair of glasses. I have had these probably 3 or 4 years, and never liked them that much..the frames are a bit large for my liking..but the price was right. These glasses are sturdy and will be good as a back up, but I will be looking forward to having a new pair. When did you last get new glasses, if you wear them?

@snowy22315 Distance glasses? Nah I must go back to the optician as soon as I save up the £20 I need.

I honestly can't remember the last time I got glasses. They really don't do anything for me anymore.

Glad you will get new ones. I am not thrilled with the ones I HAD to get when I lost my lens, but they will do until I can afford a new pair. But by that time, I may have to have cataract surgery. Good luck with your new ones. I got mine recently within the 3 months or less.

Oh yeah, I remember when you lost your lens...what a pain. When I get the new glasses, I may try to donate some of my old pairs to the LIons. I have a few old pairs around

I usually get new glasses every 2 years. This year I goofed when I did my benefits selections at work and didn't take the enhanced package which is what covers the eyeglasses. We each need new ones, and we usually go for a 2-1 and get a pair of regular glasses as well as a pair of prescription sunglasses. Instead of getting them this summer we will have to wait until next year. It might work out better this way since I plan on working another 4 years so that will be another 2 pairs of glasses each.

I think there will be two pairs with this. That gives me an idea. Maybe I can make one of them prescription sunglasses.

I use reading glasses for now. I have a prescription for progressive glasses. I feel dizzy when I wear it

About a year or a little less. My old ones were the larger frames so I chose a smaller frame for my new ones, but I really like the old glasses better than the new.

I will make sure to choose frames that are not too big when I get them this time.

@RubyHawk Hmmm, I guess it is hard to pick out the perfect glasses.

@snowy22315 That’s what I thought I was doing but the bottom part of my new glasses are just a little bit too narrow.

I am near sighted and I had my glasses about two years ago. I don't often wear my glasses unless I am watching TV or something necessary.

My eyes seemed to need adjustments more often because of aging, I need to have new glasses every now and then. I am fond of reading a lot, internet surfing and watching flicks. My eyes get tired from these hobbies so I really need to adjust my eyeglasses.

I hope you find ones in your price range this time that you like. I’ve never had to wear glasses thankfully.

Mine are probably a bit over 23 months old. The nose-piece on these is more comfortable and I'm pleased about that.

I got new glasses last year. I still use my old pair too I keep my old pair in my purse in case I need them when I'm out. I usually only need to use them if the print is really small. The prescription didn't really change that much at all.

I am not expecting mine to, but I could use a bit stronger one I think.

The last new pair of glasses I got was around 2 years ago. I need to have my eyes check again.

I received a call from the Optician yesterday, my new glasses are in!!! I am so looking forward to picking them up after peeling a layer of plastic lens off the right side of my readers when I fell on my face. You'll be surprised that even a small change in your prescription will make a major difference in your vision. I am certain that I will be able to do the fine detail work on the bears with tons less difficulty than with my old ones. I will add that I have to go back to the Optician soon because they want to dilate my eyes and I have to have a "HUMAN Guide Dog" to get me home. I don't like having my eyes dilated but it's necessary at this point in time. Pick out a cute pair of frames...it's time to have fun with your glasses.

Yes, it is hard for me to read small print on the TV.
