With The Eye Collective’s 2024 End of Year Health Fund Promotion, now is the perfect time to take advantage of the second-pair discount. For a limited time, you’ll receive $150 off your second complete pair of eyewear when you meet the minimum spend requirements—plus, a complimentary cooler bag (while stocks last). Not sure what you can do with the second pair? Here are 6 top reasons why having a second pair of glasses can be a game changer for you!
1. Prescription Sunglasses: Perfect for Summer
If you wear glasses to see clearly for distance or near tasks but don’t use contact lenses, adding a pair of prescription sunglasses can be a game-changer. While options like transition lenses can be helpful, they often don’t darken enough when you’re in the car, leaving you squinting in the sunlight. And while clip-ons or fit-over sunglasses may seem convenient, they can be bulky, add extra reflections, and lack the style or performance you want.
Prescription sunglasses, however, offer a tailored fit for your needs and bring style, comfort, and convenience into one pair. With summer around the corner, now is the best time to invest in a high-quality pair that not only protects your eyes but also complements your summer wardrobe. It’s a chance to stay sharp, fashionable, and ready for bright days ahead. Read our blog to find out how to choose the perfect pair of sunglasses for you.
2. Dedicated Reading or Computer Glasses
If you currently rely on an all-around multifocal pair of glasses, you know how well they balance distance and near vision for most situations. However, if you spend significant time on close-up work, such as reading or working at a computer, a second pair dedicated to those tasks could provide you with enhanced comfort and clarity.
A pair of dedicated reading or computer glasses can reduce the need to move your head around to find the “sweet spot,” making it easier to focus comfortably. This means less eye strain and fewer headaches, plus a more relaxing reading experience—especially before bed. Please discuss your visual tasks and needs with our friendly optometrists and we will tailor the design for you to maximize your performance and comfort.

3. Glasses for Style: Multiple Pairs for Multiple Looks
Do you ever find yourself wishing you had a different style of glasses to match various outfits or occasions? Just as we have multiple pairs of shoes to fit different looks, having a second pair of glasses as a fashion accessory can bring new versatility to your wardrobe. Glasses today are more than functional items—they’re part of your personal style and identity.
Opt for a second pair that contrasts with your everyday look. Perhaps a bold color, a sleek metal frame, or a retro-inspired shape would add flair to your collection. This way, you can switch up your look easily to suit the occasion, all while keeping your vision sharp.
4. Specialized Glasses for Hobbies and Sports
If you have a passion for outdoor activities or play high-impact sports, having the right pair of protective eyewear can make all the difference. Sunglasses or sports goggles designed for specific activities provide superior eye protection and can improve your comfort and performance. From polarized lenses that reduce glare on the water to shatter-resistant sports goggles for safer play, there are many ways to optimize your eyewear to fit your lifestyle.

5. A Backup Pair: No More Searching!
Do you often find yourself misplacing your glasses or needing them in more than one place? Having a backup pair can be a lifesaver. Consider keeping one pair at home and a second pair at the office or in your bag. This way, you’re always covered, even if you leave one pair behind. A backup pair can be especially useful if you’re always on the go or have a habit of leaving your glasses in random places.
6. Extra Sun Protection for Kids Using Atropine Eye Drops.
For children using atropine eye drops as part of myopia management or amblyopia treatment, a second pair of glasses can be particularly beneficial. Atropine drops dilate their pupils, making them more sensitive to glare and bright sunlight, especially during summer. If they currently wear clear glasses, consider a second pair with prescription sunglasses or transition lenses to provide extra sun protection. This simple addition can make outdoor time safer and more comfortable for kids while helping protect their eyes from potential UV damage.
