How to Tell When It's Time to Replace Your Glasses

Introduction

Prescription glasses are designed to last, but they aren't meant to last forever. Everyday use naturally causes wear and tear, and even a well-made frame will eventually need replacing.

Knowing when it's time for a new pair can help keep your vision comfortable and your glasses looking their best.

Visible wear and tear

Small scratches, loose hinges, bent arms and worn nose pads can all affect how your glasses feel and perform.

While some issues can be adjusted or repaired, significant wear is often a sign it's time to replace them.

They no longer fit properly

If your glasses constantly slide down your nose or feel uncomfortable despite adjustments, the frame may have lost its original shape.

A properly fitting frame should stay comfortably in place throughout the day.

Your lenses are becoming damaged

Over time, lenses can develop scratches, marks and general wear from everyday use.

Damaged lenses may reduce clarity and make your glasses less enjoyable to wear.

Your style has changed

Glasses are something you wear every day, so it's perfectly natural to want a fresh look from time to time.

A new frame can update your appearance while still using your current prescription if it's still valid.

You'd like a spare pair

Many people replace their glasses simply because they'd like a second pair for work, travel or emergencies.

Having a backup gives you peace of mind if anything happens to your main pair.
