I recently visited my optometrist and found that in two years, my eyes haven't changed all that much. (Hooray!) My left eye is practically the same, and my right eye has only slightly changed.
This is great news, because it means that my 3+ month supply of contacts is still good, and my favorite glasses, which have a year old prescription, should still be good for a long while.
Now here's the question: in terms of my red glasses, which have an older prescription, should I update the lenses? Or should I wave goodbye to the red pair (keep them for a backup option) and spend my insurance money for this year on a new pair of glasses?
(Keep in mind: I only get $150 per year to spend on lenses & hardware from my vision insurance. Unless I go somewhere like Costco that offers discount prices, my lenses are expensive because I have to have the lenses made from a lighter composite material, anti-glare coating, and scratch resistant coating. However, I could update the red glasses now - or get a $150 supply of contact lenses now - and spend my $150 next year towards new glasses & frames.)
The red glasses are photographed in the links below - I can't upload directly from the computer. I haven't worn them very much in the past year simply because the prescription is weaker than my other glasses or contacts; otherwise, I still love them. But I'd like to hear from you on whether they are cute enough compared with my other glasses to bother updating.

Thanks for your help!
