5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Glasses
Your glasses work hard—helping you see clearly, stay protected, and look stylish. But just like shoes or phones, they don’t last forever. Whether you wear them every day or only for reading, here are five signs it might be time for an upgrade:
1. Your Prescription Feels Off
If you’re squinting, getting frequent headaches, or feel like the world looks blurrier than usual, your prescription might be outdated. Eye health can change gradually, so even if you don’t notice right away, your vision could be suffering. Most eye doctors recommend updating your prescription every 1–2 years.
2. Your Frames Are Damaged or Warped
Bent temples, cracked bridges, or missing screws aren’t just cosmetic—they can affect how well your glasses fit, how they sit on your face, and even how you see. If your glasses are sliding, pinching, or sitting crooked, it’s time for a replacement (or at least a tune-up).
3. Your Lenses Are Scratched or Cloudy
Scratched lenses make it harder to see and can strain your eyes. Over time, coatings like anti-reflective or blue light protection can wear down too, leaving your lenses looking foggy or discolored. If you’re constantly wiping or adjusting, fresh lenses can make a world of difference.
4. You're Getting Frequent Headaches or Eye Strain
Headaches, tired eyes, or difficulty focusing during screen time could mean your glasses aren’t doing their job anymore. This could be due to outdated prescriptions, worn-out lenses, or simply needing a new fit for your lifestyle—like switching to computer glasses or progressive lenses.
5. Your Style (or Life) Has Changed
Fashion evolves—and so do you. Maybe you want something more modern, lighter, bolder, or work-appropriate. Or maybe you’ve just started a new job, joined a workout class, or want backup glasses for travel. If your current pair doesn’t fit your vibe or lifestyle anymore, treat yourself.
When in Doubt, Get Checked Out
If you're unsure whether it's time to change your glasses, schedule an eye exam. And if you’re ready for a new pair, we’ve got options that match every face, budget, and lifestyle—prescription, reading, blue light, and even institution-approved styles.
