Ever feel pressured by your optician to buy a second pair of frames? Maybe it's not such a bad idea after all. If you depend on your eyeglasses for clear vision, suddenly finding yourself without them could be frightening. It's a good idea to own a back-up pair, just in case of an emergency.
Remember, eyeglasses are fragile. Taking good care of them can significantly prolong their life.

It’s a great idea to purchase a spare pair of prescription glasses! My nephew broke a pair of my eyeglass frames and at the time, I wished I had a spare pair!!
