For anyone who needs prescription eyewear to see clearly from afar, how many pairs do you own, use, and manage?

For context, I have amblyopia/lazy eye in the left eye, and I think I have always had poor vision in this way. I did use the eye patch when I was in grade school, but I think either that method was ineffective or I did something wrong on my end. Anyways, I'm an adult in my 20's now, and I was wondering how many pairs of glasses or other corrective tools do y'all have? I don't mean if one uses everything (e.g., glasses, contact lens) at once; just overall what do y'all own and use for what purpose. For instance, I own prescription transition glasses and prescription sunglasses. I'm thinking about getting mask inserts because I have a slight interest in scuba diving, and I might need to see clearly underwater. I know that barriers such as high cost of prescription happen, but I'm curious as to what y'all already have.

I hope my words make sense and that this is the subreddit for my question.
