Glasses wearers - help please!

As above, excess will be more than the glasses.

I had laser surgery many years ago, but am now finding close up is blurry - old age

I had reading glasses which did the job, but my new role involves looking at small things (oo-er!) and so have just bought some varifocals. Tbh, i'm struggling with them atm, getting very tired and slight headaches, but i'm persevering and hopefully i'll adjust.

I went through Vision Express and BLC which got me a 50% discount, happy to share a code or a referral link. Armani frames and upgraded lenses for less than £200.

Has anyone insured glasses on their house/other policy against accidental damage ? , I've just invested in some new online glazing .
and, although I wear them most of the time, sitting on them was near terminal for an earlier pair, sport is also a liability.

Not accidental damage, but I did have a pair stolen in a nightclub when I took them off to dance. I had no problem claiming for the new pair, IIRC there was a £50 excess on that policy.

I suspect the excess in most home insurance policies would be more than the cost of most glasses

The excess on personal loss and accidental damage is usually low, sometimes zero, and decent glasses can be expensive if you've got a stronger prescription or complex lenses.
