  Hi, former optician here, your glasses are probably fine quality wise but you should consider updating your Rx more often, at least every 2 years. Eyes change more than people tend to think they do, and since our lenses can be adjuated with muscles we often don't notice when our vision begins to deteriorate. I have a total correction of about -3d in each eye, but if I dont put my glasses on in the morning I don't need them and can go through my day normally. As soon as I put them on and am hit with the strain relief though I'm unable to go back to not wearing them for the rest of the day. Edit: for clarity, I was an Optician, a lens technician. Not an optometrist/ophthalmologist, my experience with eyes is purely through being in the field where people get equipment from, NOT from actual medical experience.

  Glasses were way more expensive when this joke was first made ~20 years ago
