On average.










Mine normally start falling apart after 3 or 4 years, so that's generally when I get a new pair.

I've had the same pair for about 6-7 years now, and I don't remember when I got the pair before that. It was probably more often as a kid since I was on my parents insurance. I've mostly been without insurance as an adult.

Used to be every year or two, but I'm on the same pair that I've been on for like 2-3 years.

This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.

I just bought new glasses in Fall of 2016 after wearing the same pair since 1999.

The first few years, I replaced them every year. After that, to save money, I would replace them only when they start to fall apart or when my prescription changes.

Ain't nobody got that kind of money. I've had this pair of glasses since 2005. I need a new pair, though.

Those who aren't replacing your glasses because of price, consider buying online. It's much, much, much, much cheaper because they are able to somewhat get away from that one company that otherwise controls the glasses industry.

I don't know how comfortable I would be with buying them online. Clothes can be annoying enough to buy online, but glasses I can only get once a year tops and that is if I get cheap ones my insurance will cover. It is something I will wear every day and something I will will feel and see in my peripheral vision every waking second of my day. if I just want cheap I can get glasses with lenses at walmart for $30.

I've considered it, but more so than even shoes, frames are something I have to try on first. I don't want to ship back and forth until I get it right.

When I was young, I got new glasses about every 1.5-2 years. Now, I do it about every 4-5 years. Last set of glasses I had (two pairs, since the place I get them at have a deal where it costs either very little or no money to get a second pair) for 5 years before getting my current set. It's been about 3.5 years since then. Probably will wait until 2018 to get new ones.

Nothing to do with price; it is just that the glasses are still good.
I can still see properly with them.
Perhaps, my degrees haven't gone up since high school.

I also hate going to the eye doctor. Last time they had this machine where you look into this thing and they shoot a sudden burst of air at your eyeball to check for glaucoma or something. And the person administering it seemed to get mad at me for jumping every time. It's a reflex. :/

You get used to it. I haven't flinched since my early teens (I'm 39 now).

Legitimately surprised so many people here wear glasses, even for a nerd site.
