I have worn glasses since the age of 8.

These days, I need trifocals: distance, computer screen, book. Each has a different correction.

I have a pair of glasses for my computer screen. I have another for books in my lap.

At $100 a pair or more, people do not buy extras.

These days, you don't need to pay $100 for a pair of backup glasses. You can buy them as cheaply as $8.

The Web is price competitive. Here is an example.

For back-up glasses, you don't need the name of some famous person on them. You don't need style. You just need to see . . . and find where you left them last.
