After accidentally sitting on my favorite pair today and destroying them, it got me wondering how many pair of shades I’ve owned in my lifetime.

I’m just gonna go with a round number and say about 50. I only buy cheap sunglasses btw

Maybe 5, mine have to be prescription lenses so I can't just lose or break them.

3 in the last 10 years. before that I don't remember

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 1 points 1 week ago

I buy them in 3 packs on Amazon. $9.95 and it's always in my buy it again list

[–] rothaine@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Transition lenses, baybeeee

[–] observantTrapezium@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

I'm pretty sure I'm in my fourth pair now.

[–] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

I've never lost a single pair. The ones I use currently are over 15 years old. I can only remember owning 4 different pairs but there are probably few more that I had in my childhood but no longer remember.

At least 25. I've lost 2 or 3 in rivers while kayaking. Others have broken or gotten lost in other ways.

I go for cheap polarized glasses so it's not a big loss but still annoying.

Three that I recall. First pair was in my early twenties, some weird blue bug eye mirror things that I thought made me look cool (they didn’t). Second was a pair of Fossil sunglasses in this cool gunmetal color/material with prescription lenses, acquired shortly after the bug sunglasses. Those lasted me for years. Current pair are Raybans with prescription lenses. They’ve lasted quite a few years as well.

I wear normal glasses as well and keep my sunglasses in a case. I’ve never sat on them.

0 unless you count transition lenses. 4 pairs if you do. I don't particularly like them, but I dislike them less than having the sun in my eyes.

0, I just wear a hat. Wearing sunglasses makes it look like you're trying too hard to look cool.

Like 2 in total as a child. After everyone and me realized I was getting blind as a bat before being 10 I started wearing glasses and never used shades again. Another reason I avoid the beach and swimming pools.
