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
If I had to guess maybe around 5 pairs of sunglasses, give or take. I own a pretty reliable pair of sunglasses right now that I have had for over a year. These are high quality polarized sunglasses too, maybe a little under a hundred dollars. I kinda wish I got them sooner because I haven’t lost them yet surprisingly.
I know exactly because I need prescription.
11. So that’s roughly one pair every 4 years. Of which I have 10, one of them is at the bottom of a lake somewhere
I buy my sunglasses in bulk. I only like one kind, but I want multiple color options. I also break and lose them all the time. I probably have 10 pairs in my car ready to go.
2 as a child, both lost to time. 4 as an adult, but they are all prescription so I keep track of them and treat them well. 1 of the 4 is so old and banged up it sits in a drawer as a backup, the rest get used to varying degrees.
I might have had 1-2 as a kid, probably because I thought it looked cool. But I lost them pretty fast. Other than that I don’t see the need for them.
Why would you have to think about this? Just activate the tism and count them up.
12, if you count transition lenses that I have now.
Like 50. I used to have a ridiculous amount of sunglasses I got given as free merch. Nowadays I just have a prescription pair of sunglasses I replace every few years
Maybe 5, mine have to be prescription lenses so I can’t just lose or break them.
Three. One lost, one broken, one in my drawer.
Thinking about making it four, three doesn’t work with some outfits.
Three. I bought a cheap one, discarded it, bought an expensive one later on which I still use and when I moved there was a pair of sun glasses just laying there on a cupboard from the previous tenant. So now that one is in my drawer.
Five maybe? I lost one nice pair to a wave at the beach, and since then I buy mine at truck stops and dollar stores. It’s much less stressful to wear glasses that cost me $1.50 !
Dang, I probably have five right now
Ok I would think you might be somewhat younger. This has been my philosophy for years but you start to rack up the numbers as time goes on!
I’m late 30s.
I can’t remember <13. So, at least the last 30+ years I’ve had 4 pairs of sunnies. Maybe 5 pairs.
I’ve still got 2 of those pairs.
I’m tempted to get a fancy pair that look good instead of just sunnies that look good enough (ie, more than $100). I just don’t wear them enough… Maybe a couple weeks a year?
What’s the point in buying good sunglasses, and why would I lose a pair?
I’ve had the same wallet for 15 years, I’ve been locked out once, and I’ve lost my phone about 3 times (all of which I’ve got my phone back).I’m recovering from about 10 years of undiagnosed depression. Recently (like a year) it has affected my short term memory, to the point I thought I had ADHD or something else. Effecting my work, my ability to live day-to-day, my socialmlife.
I now realise, while ADHD might be a factor, undiagnosed depression has devastated who I am VS who I think I am and who I want to be.Are there other explanations for your forgetfulness?
Is it age related? Anything else you find you are forgetting?Other than the one I lost at the beach, I lost one on a roller coaster, I recall sitting on one, and a few plastic ones just broke. Not counting whatever I had as a kid, no idea there. Not an unreasonable number, I think.

You like your vision.
You take them most places with you so you have a much higher chance of losing them.

Something isn’t adding up here…
Absolutely right, that should be 20 years. I guess I’m already preparing for my 40s
FIFTY?!
I mean I just broke a pair and I have at least 5 other pairs in the house right now - although I hate most of them so probably will get a new pair.
0, they’re like umbrellas to me, I never bother with them
Doctor, why do I have cataracts.
I get the no umbrella thing but doing anything in the sun without sunglasses is absolutely miserable and inevitably gives me a headache for the rest of the day.
I can not count. I learned my lesson about buying expensive sunglasses with a single large wave at the beach. I’ve been buying cheap polarized wayfarer style sunglasses since. Do they break… yes. Does $5 hurt me at this point no
Grew up in phoenix… my eyes are very sensitive to light. I rarely can find lenses that are dark enough…
SO MANY…. Seriously well into triple digits
