    So how many pairs of glasses do YOU take when traveling?

    I know I can't be the only one who takes multiple pairs. I'm on a road trip with my husband and have eight pairs! Two clear pairs, one Transition pair, two regular suns, two suns for over my multifocal contacts(they have correction), and one clear pair for over my contacts for night time driving.

    Can anyone beat my number?

    One clear, one transitions and one sun for a weekend. I haven't taken a longer trip that three days in a long time, that would probably require at least one more pair. :)

    Usually two pairs each with clear Rx progressives. Each also has 2 set of Chemistries, one for sun and the other a +1.00 for working on the computer.
