How Often Should I Replace My Glasses?

Replacing your glasses regularly is essential to ensure your vision stays sharp and your eyewear remains comfortable and stylish. While there isn’t a set rule for how often you should replace your glasses, several factors—like changes in your prescription, wear and tear, and style preferences—determine when it's time for a new pair.

When to Replace Your Glasses

1. Changes in Prescription
   The most important reason to replace your glasses is if your prescription changes. As your vision naturally changes over time, wearing outdated lenses can lead to eye strain, headaches, and blurry vision. It’s recommended to have your eyes tested every two years, and if there’s a change in your prescription, you’ll need new lenses to match your current vision needs.

2. Wear and Tear
   Even if your prescription hasn’t changed, regular use of glasses can cause them to wear out. Scratches on the lenses, loose hinges, or bent frames can affect your comfort and the quality of your vision. If you notice significant damage to your glasses, it’s time to replace them to ensure your eyewear is in top condition.

3. Outdated Frames
   Over time, your personal style may change, and so can fashion trends. If your frames feel outdated or don’t suit your current look, it’s a good idea to invest in a new pair that complements your style. At City Optics, we offer a wide range of fashionable frames to help you find the perfect match.

4. Comfort Issues
   If your glasses no longer feel comfortable, such as slipping down your nose or causing pressure on your temples, it may be time for a replacement. Well-fitted glasses are essential for both your comfort and eye health.

How Often Do Most People Replace Their Glasses?

Most people replace their glasses every one to two years. This is typically driven by prescription changes, wear and tear, or a desire for a new look. However, if you experience discomfort or vision changes sooner, it’s best to replace your glasses as needed rather than waiting for the two-year mark.
